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.
West Ham match-winner Michail Antonio explained how his team planned to “damage” AZ Alkmaar in their Europa Conference League win. The Dutch side went ahead towards the end of the first half when Tijjani Reijnders scored, and for a moment it looked as if West Ham might already be on their way out of the competition at the same stage as last year’s European exit. Ad However they have given themselves a much better chance with next week’s second leg yet to come in the Netherlands, by securing a 2-1 victory.
Joe Cole believes that Said Benrahma could be a West Ham hero “forever” for his goalscoring performance during the 2-1 win over AZ Alkmaar.

Ad However, Benrahma put in a player-of-the-match performance and levelled for the home side on 67 minutes.
