West Ham traveled to Serbia on Thursday, confident in the knowledge that three points against TSC Bačka Topola would seal their UEFA Europa League progression.
TSC: Ilic; Petrovic, Calusic, Stojic, Antonic, Cvetkovic; Kuveljic, Radin, Dakovac; Cirkovic, Milovanovic
WHU: Fabianski; Cresswell, Aguerd, Mavropanos, Johnson; Paqueta, Soucek, Ward-Prowse; Benrahma, Mubama, Fornals
A disappointing performance on the continent saw David Moyes’ side struggle against Serbian opposition as they sought to progress to the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League.
Registering just one shot on target throughout the first 85 minutes of the match, the Hammers looked set to be heading home empty-handed before Tomas Souček arrived to smash home from Maxwel Cornet’s cross.
