Here’s Ed Aarons’ match report from the London Stadium. Thanks for joining me tonight. Bye! Here’s Jacob Steinberg reporting on a strange and emotional night in Cyprus as Maccabi Haifa returned to football. Some post-match chat from James Ward-Prowse: “There was a bit of fire in the belly tonight [after losing in Greece] … we dug deep and got a good goal in the end. We had a really positive start to the season, a bit of a slump recently – the guys at the top are consistent and we need to improve on that. Tonight is a good step in getting that momentum.” Here’s how West Ham and Rangers stand – and you can see all the Europa League tables here. Other results in the Conference League: Breidablik 2-3 Gent, Club Brugge 2-0 Lugano, Ludogorets 2-0 Fenerbahce, Olimpija Ljubljana 2-0 Klaksvik, Slovan Bratislava 1-1 Lille, Zorya Luhansk 1-3 Maccabi Tel Aviv. Other results in the Europa League: AEK 0-2 Marseille, Atalanta 1-0 Sturm Graz, Betis 4-1 Aris, Freiburg 5-0 TSC, Hacken 1-3 Molde, Sporting 2-1 Rakow. Full time! West Ham 1-0 Olympiakos They made heavy weather of it at times, but Lucas Paqueta’s finish from James Ward-Prowse’s superb pass was enough to earn victory. The Hammers stay top of Group A, five points clear of third-placed Olympiakos with two games to play. Full time! Aston Villa 2-1 AZ Alkmaar After going behind early in the second half, Villa fought back with a controversial Diego Carlos leveller and then Ollie Watkins’ late header. They are all but through to the knockout stages. Full time! Rangers 2-1 Sparta Prague Early goals from Danilo and Todd Cantwell get the job done as Philippe Clement’s side significantly boost their chances of progressing from the group. We’ve played eight minutes of stoppage time now at Ibrox – I’m not entirely sure why. It finished Betis 4-1 Aris in Group C’s other match, the La Liga side staying top of the pile. Rangers seeing things out with a free-kick deep in Sparta territory, while there are five added minutes in both the Villa and West Ham games. Ritsu Doan’s injury-time goal has made it Freiburg 5-0 TSC, while in the Conference League, Fenerbahce – who began the season with 19 straight wins before losing to Trabzonspor – have lost again, going down 2-0 to Ludogorets. At Ibrox, Ross McCausland, who replaced Cantwell, sends a shot just beyond the far corner. Six minutes of stoppage time there. Olympiakos hit the post! West Ham almost punished for not wrapping this game up, as Mady Camara stoops at the far post – but his header crashes off the upright! A let-off for the hosts. Ward-Prowse’s free-kick swirls into the penalty area, where Mavropanos heads it wide! It’s still 2-1 to Rangers, and to Aston Villa, in the other games we’re focusing on. Fabianski almost makes a costly error, but the ball ricochets behind the goal. Porozo is then booked for a clumsy foul on Kudus, and Maxwel Cornet is on for a rare runout, replacing Said Benrahma. GOAL! Aston Villa 2-1 AZ (Watkins 82") Villa complete the turnaround, Ollie Watkins running on to Douglas Luiz’ perfect scooped pass and heading into the corner. He’s onside, and suddenly Villa are all but through to the knockout stages. No goal! Danilo thinks he has immediately restored Rangers’ two goal lead after bullying the centre-back off the ball. VAR, determined to spoil its brief moment in the sun, rules it out for a foul – which looked pretty soft to me. GOAL! Rangers 2-1 Sparta Prague (Haraslin 77") The visitors are back in it at Ibrox, Lukas Haraslin finishing tidily from Preciado’s pass. Nervous moments for Rangers now … Here are some post-game thoughts from Jürgen Klopp, whose Liverpool side lost 3-2 in Toulouse. “I only saw the video back now and for me [the disallowed equaliser] is not a handball – but how can I decide that? Actually, I am a bit more concerned about … I would have loved us to have played better, to be honest. That’s my main issue tonight. “In the end, we were intense, we threw everything in, but the problem is in a football game you have to make the decisive things in the right moment to do them right.” GOAL! West Ham 1-0 Olympiakos (Paquetá 74") Just as West Ham look to be running out of ideas, Lucas Paquetá runs on to Ward-Prowse’s lovely lofted pass and half-volleys past the keeper. It’s flagged offside, but replays show he is very clearly onside. That’s what VAR is there for, and West Ham lead! Cantwell heads off for Rangers, who are holding on with relative comfort to that 2-0 lead. As it stands, they will open up a three-point gap (and better head-to-head record) over Sparta Prague, with games against Aris (at home) and Betis (away) still to come. Freiburg lead TSC 3-0 in Germany, so West Ham could really use a goal to keep pace at the top of Group A. They’re enjoying their best spell since half-time, but are still struggling to break the opposing defence down. Goals elsewhere: Betis lead Aris Limassol 2-0 through Aitor Ruibal; Berat Djimsiti has put Atalanta a goal up at home to Sturm Graz; and in the Confro, Gent have turned a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 lead at Icelandic outfit Breidablik. Oof! West Ham’s best chance of the second half so far falls to Ward-Prowse, who shoots first-time from Bowen’s cutback, but sends it straight at the keeper. GOAL! Aston Villa 1-1 AZ (Diego Carlos 62") Diego Carlos heads home a corner that shouldn’t have been given – a decision VAR can’t review, but one which is hard to accept for the visiting defenders. Let’s check in at Ibrox, where Qazim Laci – one of three second-half Sparta substitutes – sends an awkward diving header wide. At Villa Park, Boubacar Kamara skews his shot over the bar – but the hosts get a corner! Can you guess what happens next?
