West Ham’s joy at reaching the final of the Europa Conference League was marred by supporters of AZ Alkmaar confronting friends and family of the visiting players after the final whistle at the AFAS Stadion. Subscribe to Guardian Football ►
Saïd Benrahma, Michail Antonio, Aaron Cresswell and Flynn Downes were among the West Ham players who tried to stop the supporters. David Moyes’s elderly father was in the section that was targeted. ‘I can’t explain what happened and why it happened,’ David Moyes said. Pascal Jansen, AZ’s manager, apologised for the trouble. ‘I feel ashamed it happened in our stadium. It should not be happening. You have to stay in control of your emotions.’
