JONAS HOFMANN AND Victor Boniface scored after coming off the bench as Bayer Leverkusen beat West Ham 2-0 at home on Thursday in their Europa League quarter-final first leg.
West Ham, who fought hard with little in the way of possession or field position, will need to become the first team to beat Alonso’s side this season to return to the semi-finals. Fabianski needed to be a little more acrobatic to keep out Leverkusen’s next chance, the West Ham goalkeeper leaping to stop Amine Adli’s 11th minute effort.
With the match heading towards a scoreless draw, Alonso made changes, bringing on Boniface and Hofmann.
