A nice win for West Ham last time playing, versus Chelsea. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with Arthur Masuaku, Jarrod Bowen and Manuel Lanzini scoring for the victors. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of D. Moyes when Arthur Masuaku scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 45th minute. Defender Arthur Masuaku got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.8/10. Masuaku scored one goal and won 7 of 8 duels.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
