What we got tonight…
…was more than we expected. West Ham was massive!!!!
West Ham recorded the biggest European win in their history as they swept aside Freiburg to overturn a first-leg deficit and march into a third successive quarter-final.
This latest victory at the London Stadium on a European night, over a Freiburg side that was overpowered from the first minute, was West Ham’s 11th consecutive home win in European competition. It has been an impressive and thrilling run, featuring 30 goals, and one which has delighted a fanbase that comes out in full force under the midweek lights.
The latest of those great Thursday night flourishes came deep into the second half against Freiburg, when Mohammed Kudus seized possession in his own half and set off on a run that ended with three defenders in his wake and the ball in the Freiburg net. Truly, this 4-0 was one of the most electrifying goals that will be scored this season, in this or any other continental competition.
Irons!!!!
👉🏻 Match report
What we expect tonight…
… or let’s better say “what we hope for this afternoon“, because West Ham’s second leg tie against SC Freiburg kicks off as early as 5:45 GMT at London Stadium.
Two years ago West Ham beat highly rated Sevilla 2-0 aet and overcame the 0-1 deficit of their first leg defeat away in Spain. The goals were scored by Tomas Soucek and Yarmolenko, and the newspapers said that in this brilliant European night West Ham supporters made the London Stadium a fortress and proved it is home for the Hammers.
Let’s hope today will be an other day to remember and West Ham gift us a “European evening” to celebrate and the Hammers proceed to the quarter finals of the Europa League again!
“Though if I’m honest,” fellow supporter Barrie said, “I fully expect Freiburg to score first and West Ham to huff and puff but sadly fall short.”
Well, it can go either way.
Come on you Irons!
