Inside West Ham’s dressing room celebrations after Lyon triumph: Cotton Eye Joe, James Corden and Noble tears

Not even the most pragmatic of managers could stop the West Ham players enjoying this moment.

After booking their first European semi-final since 1976, the Hammers squad celebrated with the travelling fans in the away end at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon before making their way back into the dressing room, where Moyes delivered his verdict.

The Scot, usually able to keep his cool, told his players how proud they had made him. He then reflected on their remarkable rise in a brief but emotional speech - which still managed to include a reminder of Sunday’s meeting with Burnley - before all hell broke loose.
