Leicester reached the first European semi-final in the club’s history after a dramatic late comeback at PSV Eindhoven secured their progress to the Europa Conference League last four.

After a 0-0 draw in last week’s first leg at the King Power Stadium, Eran Zahavi gave the hosts the lead in an open contest, before Harvey Barnes and Patson Daka missed chances for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

But James Maddison pulled the visitors level, just as the Foxes were beginning to lose hope, before Ricardo Pereira scored the winner and secured a famous night for the club. They will now play either Roma or Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals.

West Ham will now look to join them in reaching a European semi-final, as they face Lyon for a place in the Europa League last four:

Lyon 0 - 0 West Ham (1-1 agg)

24 mins: Issa Diop picks up the first yellow card of the night after clattering into Karl Tako Ekambi over to the right of West Ham’s box. Romain Faivre takes the free kick and curls one into the middle but Diop rises above everyone else and heads it clear.

21 mins: Good defending from West Ham. They seem reluctant to close down the Lyon forwards when they have possession in the Hammers’ box allowing Ekambi and Dembele to move the ball into space. Ekambi squares it across the box and finds Dembele but his effort is blocked by Dawson.

18 mins: Chance! Better from West Ham. Ben Johnson gets forward on the left side and flicks the ball into the Lyon box. It gets knocked down and bounces kindly for Pablo Fornals who fires a low shot straight at Julian Pollersbeck in goal.

15 mins: Houssem Aouar drives around Vladimir Coufal and takes the ball to the byline before whipping in a cross that Issa Diop deals with.

Lyon 0 - 0 West Ham (1-1 agg)

12 mins: Another cross comes into the box for Lyon but it too far ahead of Moussa Dembele to really trouble the Hammers. They’ve been properly put on the back foot here. It could be a long night for them if they can’t get hold of the ball.

Lyon 0 - 0 West Ham (1-1 agg)

9 mins: After that initial offside chance for Pablo Fornals, West Ham have had to dig in here. Lyon have been impressive and aggressive in these opening 10 minutes or so.

Malo Gusto whips a cross in from the right and the Hammers fail to deal with it. It bounces off Moussa Dembele and drops to Houssem Aouar whose shot gets blocked before Craig Dawson scrambles it clear.

Lyon 0 - 0 West Ham (1-1 agg)

6 mins: Chance! Karl Tako Ekambi almost gets Lyon off to the perfect start after picking up the ball on the left wing. He darts into the box and shifts the ball onto his right foot before blasting a low effort at goal and rattling the near post! Alphonse Areola dove across but he wasnt getting to the ball and West Ham get away with one.

3 mins: Jason Denayer sends the ball up to Emerson who knocks it inside to Houssem Aouar from the left wing. Aouar tries to feed Karl Tako Ekambi into the box but the forward loses the ball and West Ham run it clear.

Kick off: Lyon 0 - 0 West Ham (1-1 agg)

Lyon get the game underway but it’s won immediately by the Hammers who boot it down the left wing and play Pablo Fornals in behind. He drives into the box and pulls a left-footed shot wide of the back post but the offside flag goes up against him. Still, quick start for the visitors.

Lyon vs West Ham

Here come the player. David Moyes will have properly got his team up for this one but it won’t be easy. The atmosphere is electric inside the Groupama Stadium.

Lyon are unbeaten in the competition so far and have scored in all but one of the home matches. Can West Ham keep them quiet tonight?
