    West Ham 1-0 AEK Larnaca (Agg: 3-0)

    That was Gianluca Scamacca's eighth goal for West Ham in his 28th appearance following his £30.5m move from Sassuolo in the summer.

    However, it was only his second goal since scoring in a 3-1 Premier League win over Fulham in October.

    The way AEK Larnaca are defending, Scamacca will be fancying his chances of improving his stats more tonight.

    Arsenal 1-0 Sporting (Agg: 3-2)

    This is really open!

    Marcus Edwards burns away into the Arsenal half. He has Oleksandr Zinchenko for company and the Ukrainian comes out on top, holding the Sporting forward up and then blocking his shot before clearing.

    Chance!

    Arsenal work a corner to the edge of the box, where the ref gets in Oleksandr Zinchenko's way. He still managed to feed a pass to Gabriel Martinelli for a shot that is blocked.

    Arsenal are in a good moment right now. They could do with pressing home this advantage because Sporting will have moments again.

  5. DISALLOWED GOAL - West Hampublished at 20:27 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2023

    West Ham 1-0 AEK Larnaca (Agg: 3-0)

    Gianluca Scamacca thinks he has got his second in three minutes but is denied by a flag as he was offside when collecting Lucas Paqueta's through ball.

    It was a lovely side-footed finish from the Italian but it doesn't count.

    Fabio Vieira is the first man to receive a booking in the game for a reckless tackle.

    Another big shout for a penalty for Arsenal as Gabriel Jesus goes down over a trailing leg. They might have a case but for an offside flag against the Brazilian.

    Matty AFC: So glad to see Reiss Nelson playing well. What a cross. I really thought his time with us was over, but if he's happy to be a rotation player, we've got to keep him.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 16 March 2023

    Arsenal 1-0 Sporting Lisbon (Agg: 3-2)

    The football god gives and he takes away. A minute after Arsenal take the lead, they lose another player to injury.

    William Saliba, who has been superb this season, limps off to be replaced by Rob Holding.

    The Gunners will be praying that is not a bad one.

    GOAL - West Ham 1-0 AEK Larnaca (Agg: 3-0)published at 22 mins

    Gianluca Scamacca

    That should do it.

    AEK Larnaca give the ball away and Pablo Fornals leads the charge forwards. He gives it to Manuel Lanzini who in turn finds Gianluca Scamacca.

    He cuts back to get the ball on his right foot, the shot should be easily saved by Kenan Piric but the Larnaca keeper makes a right mess of it, it goes through him and over the line.

    A horror show for the keeper, but West Ham boss David Moyes will not care about that at all.

    West Ham are enjoying a lot of possession and have a half chance when Gianluca Scamacca releases Lucas Paqueta.

    The Brazilian cuts on to his left foot inside the penalty area but his shot bounces off an away defender and the opportunity vanishes.

    That is a great ball in behind. Gabriel Martinelli runs onto it and beats the defender to get in on goal, but he is at an acute angle.

    Adan makes a good save but it comes straight back to Granit Xhaka who smashes it in.

    Arsenal, I will tell you what, are good for it.

    Granit Xhaka

    Arsenal's pressure pays!

    Gabriel Martinelli is played in behind the Sporting defence. He drives in from the left and sees his shot blocked, but Granit Xhaka is there on the follow-up to lash a shot home.

    The Gunners go ahead in the tie!

    Paul: This is not the sporting side I watched get outclassed by Marseille twice in champions league. They were awful then. Look decent though and we haven’t got started. Keep this up and they’ll win.

    Big shouts for a penalty from the homer fans!

    It is Fabio Vieira going to turf after looking to latch on to a Jorginho pass. But the referee clearly feels the Sporting tackle is clean. It is too.

    It was the moment of real quick tempo from Arsenal it was so quick. Reiss Nelson was on his bike beat his man and whips the ball in.

    Gabriel Jesus just can't get his foot on it and Adan is able to stand tall.

    Chance!

    Arsenal have come to life. Reiss Nelson curls a cross between the Sporting defence and keeper and it is met by Gabriel Jesus. He is under pressure and can't make clean contact, allowing Antonio Adan to save.

    West Ham 0-0 AEK Larnaca (Agg: 2-0)

    Kenan Piric in the away goal produces a dodgy clearance and that gives West Ham a chance, but the visiting defenders get their keeper out of trouble, booting the ball off of Manuel Lanzini and behind for a goal kick.

    Better from Arsenal. Jorginho chips a ball forward that skips away from Gabriel Jesus. Just needed a slightly better weight on it.
