With Michail Antonio scoring inside the 15 minutes, Bayer Leverkusen’s advantage over West Ham is now just the one goal with plenty of football left to be played at the London Stadium.
It’s been a feisty affair so far with 14 fouls and three yellow cards brandished inside 43 minutes of the first half. And it all kicked off on the touchline too which eventually saw a member of the West Ham backroom staff dismissed.
An arguement between the two sets of coaching team’s ensued on the half hour mark, which led to Billy McKinlay being shown a red card for wagging his finger in the face of a Leverkusen staff member.
Billy McKinlay is sent to the stands from the West Ham technical area ?
It's kicking off both on and off the pitch in East London!#UEL
