FT
The match ends Astra Giurgiu 2-1 West Ham, and 4-3 on aggregate. That was a good performance on the whole from a West Ham side full of reserve and Academy players and with three debutants in the starting eleven. But the recriminations will start in East London immediately - why did manager Slaven Bilic give up on their European campaign before it barely even started?
