The Ukrainian came off the bench to score a vital goal for the second time in five days to send David Moyes' side into the last eight.
Manager David Moyes had challenged West Ham’s fans to match the atmosphere at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan seven days earlier, and they did not disappoint. Soucek was inches away again when he met Craig Dawson’s knockdown from a corner but he could not guide it in at the far post. They also sent Manchester United packing in the 2020 semi-final.

West Ham got their goal moments later to bring the tie level on the night. From the first half, we were onto them, driving and creating chances. An extra 30 minutes were needed and many home fans thought they'd taken the lead in the tie when Soucek latched onto Dawson's knockdown at the far post. The atmosphere was an absolute joke today. I give the win to the fans. I thought Sevilla were probably the favourites for the tournament. Declan Rice set up Soucek, but the midfielder's first-time strike was batted away by Bounou. "The only atmosphere that compares to this was the final day at the Boleyn Ground. We came out here and the fans were singing. In the second half our intensity was great until 70 minutes then it dropped off. "In football things change for you. West Ham boss David Moyes told BT Sport afterwards: "This will be as high as we've had. We keep on going.

Moyes has created a winning culture at a club that had forgotten how to win. He won't want his players to regard Thursday night as a big deal.
Rice was outstanding in both legs of the Sevilla tie. Indeed, both had trained away from the main group on Wednesday and weren't expected to make it. But he has described the squad a 'the most likeable group of men I've ever worked with.' He won't want his players to regard Thursday night, as exceptional a result as it was, as a big deal. Stuart Pearce, one of the first-team coaches, helps keep the cogs turning. Bubbles floated into the night sky, Mark Noble jumped onto the back of Declan Rice, and a tearful Andriy Yarmolenko zoned in on a Ukrainian flag waver in the crowd and threw him his shirt. It took 19 months to realise the error of their ways. Out of the two domestic cups, West Ham's season appeared to be heading nowhere. More impressively, Moyes has created a winning culture at a club that had forgotten how to win. The Scot may be old school but sometimes that's precisely what a club needs. But in Europe at least, they are marching on. He has succeeded in rebuilding West Ham into a team who gets the fundamentals right.

Noble leapt on Declan Rice's back and cried tears of joy. The players celebrated by leaping on one another. When the game kicked off, West Ham were at it, almost from start to finish. Another wall of noise greeted the referee’s final whistle. And, of course, there was the manager: David Moyes’ steely determination to transform West Ham into a team to be feared, into a new force not just in English but in European football, and his jubilant celebrations at the final whistle. The atmosphere was building in and around the ground from mid-afternoon, with fans descending on Stratford, Hackney Wick and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from far and wide to be a part of the Club’s biggest European night in at least two decades, arguably four.
West Ham United hosts Sevilla on Thursday, as the Londoners look to overturn a 1-0 deficit to progress to the quarter-final of the UEFA Europa League.
Thomas Delaney is back in the frame to start after incurring a ban that saw him miss Sevilla's 1-0 first-leg victory. Sevilla is missing Lucas Ocampos due to suspension after the 27-year-old accumulated his third yellow card in European competition this campaign. The 25-year-old picked up a foot injury in the first leg and isn't expected to be back until after the international break. Goals will likely be at a premium in this match due to their respective solid defenses and awareness of the prize at play. Michail Antonio is regarded as a major injury doubt for the match following his forced substitution against Aston Villa last week. The Hammers come into the clash on a positive note, fresh from defeating Aston Villa 2-1 last weekend.

But already he is way ahead of the number of games he normally plays [in a season] so physically he is getting better and that is really important and he is looking after himself much better as well." "I do not see any reason why he should not be [fit]," Moyes said. Not only did Antonio recover in time but the striker was fit enough to last until the final minute of extra-time against Sevilla and put in a fantastic performance to boot.
