GENK 2

WEST HAM 2

NOT much of a Moyes Millennium celebration in Smurfland as Tomas Soucek’s late howler dented West Ham’s Europa League-winning run.

A second-half fightback leading to two fine Said Benrahma goals looked to have ensured the Hammers would celebrate manager David Moyes’ 1,000th game in the dugout with a win.

But Soucek headed Angelo Preciado’s cross into his own net three minutes from the end.

West Ham, who had won their three previous Group H games, have now all but qualified for the knockout stages.

But they nearly paid dearly for a shaky defensive performance against a Genk side whose nickname is the Smurfs, but who were no comic cartoon outfit.
