On This Day | Hammers take step towards Conference League final

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with Heineken...

West Ham United came from behind to take a step towards a first European final since 1976 with a 2-1 win over AZ Alkmaar on this day two years ago.

A first-half effort from Tijjani Reijnders may have clipped the Hammers’ wings, although West Ham responded impeccably after the break to take a slender advantage to the Netherlands.

Saïd Benrahma’s penalty kickstarted the comeback, before Michail Antonio prodded home the crucial winner from close range.

The 2-1 first leg victory was followed by a 1-0 away success the following week as the east Londoners booked their ticket to Prague and the UEFA Europa Conference League final.
