Bayer's late double is a pain for Moyes

SUBS KEEP ALONSO'S INVINCIBLES ON TOP

WEST HAM 0

IN THE city famous for its giant aspirin factory, Victor Boniface gave David Moyes his biggest headache in Europe with West Ham.

And it will take more than a couple of plink-plink-fizz to make this one go away at the London Stadium next Thursday.

For 83 minutes, it looked as if the Hammers would become only the sixth team to stop Bayer Leverkusen winning all season.

But then substitute Jonas Hofmann smuggled his shot from 18 yards through a crowded box and beyond an unsighted Lukasz Fabianksi, who had been on inspired form a week before his 39th birthday.

In stoppage time another substitute, Victor Boniface, headed Hofmann’s cross into the bottom corner, extending Leverkusen’s remarkable unbeaten run to 42 games.
