‘Baffled’ - David Moyes frustration as home fan pitch invader ruins West Ham counter attack

West Ham boss David Moyes says he was “baffled” that a pitch invasion ruined an opportunity to score as his 10-men battled to a 1-1 draw with Lyon in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final in London. Aaron Cresswell was controversially sent off late in the first half after the referee decided he had brought down Moussa Dembele as the last man — despite the striker being forced wide and Kurt Zouma seemingly backing him up as cover. Ad/> A wink from the French striker indicated he may have gone down deliberately easily, adding to a frustrating evening for West Ham.
