Said Benrahma and Michail Antonio were on target as West Ham came from behind to beat AZ Alkmaar 2-1 and take control of this Europa Conference League semi-final tie. David Moyes’ side were firm favourites to win on home soil and take a significant step to ending their 43-year wait for a trophy, but they were up against it after conceding a first-half opener to Tijjani Reijnders. Ad But they turned the game on its head in nine second-half minutes, Benrahma grabbing an equaliser from the spot before Antonio prodded home from close range.
