Trailing 1-0 from the first leg, David Moyes' men faced a tough task against La Liga giants and Europa League last 16 opponents Sevilla.

Battling a tense contest, West Ham overturned the deficit and clinched a historic victory at the London Stadium courtesy of a first half goal from Tomas Soucek and a fitting extra-time winner from Ukraine international Andriy Yarmolenko.

Sharing footage from the brilliant 2-0 win, ExWHUemployee has been left blown away by one key moment from a famous night.

The Latest: Ex wowed by West Ham footage...

Raving over footage which has been called 'world class' by 90min reporter Toby Cudworth, Ex heaped praise on Irons goalkeeper Alphonse Areola for his stunning reflex save to deny Youssef En-Nesyri just before Soucek's opening goal.

Sharing his reaction, Ex said (via Twitter): "Wow it’s even better than what I thought at the time."

The Verdict: Absolutely crucial...

The Paris Saint-Germain loanee was undoubtedly the unsung hero of the night for the Hammers, not just for that crucial piece of heroics, but also for his performance overall.

West Ham journalists rated his overall outing an 8/10, drawing attention to his superb saves whilst also praising Areola for other important stops and coping well under pressure (football.london).

The ex-Fulham stopper even attracted praise from sections of the Spanish press for his display, and we believe that Moyes' decision on whether or not to make his loan deal a permanent one may have been made that bit tougher.
