The Hammers were knocked out of the Europa League by Bayer Leverkusen, with Antonio launching a scathing attack on the officials after the game
West Ham ace Michail Antonio is staring down the barrel of a UEFA suspension after lashing out at the match officials following their Europa League departure. The Hammers' European journey came to an end, but not without controversy, as a fortuitous deflection dashed their hopes against Bayer Leverkusen, despite a valiant effort.
"It doesn't feel like you're playing against 11 men, it feels like you're playing against 13 or 14 including the two linos. You have to keep pushing and try and make the decisions go your way, but they just weren't. We had to keep playing our way and keep being professional," reports the Mirror. The Bundesliga outfit were shaken when Antonio nodded in Jarrod Bowen 's cross and seemed lost at Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park, akin to a stag do stumbling out at closing time. But an honest evaluation of West Ham's third European season in 37 games reveals they missed the mark over two legs.
