AEK Larnaca v West Ham LIVE: A Michail Antonio brace has the Hammers in the lead

Two moments of real quality from Michail Antonio gives West Ham the win in Cyprus.

Areola makes a super save to deny Ivan Trickovski's volley.

That really should have been 3-0. Lucas Paqueta is fed through by Cornet and runs clean through with the ball but sees his effort saved by Piric.

AEK Larnaca are still coming forward looking to half the deficit before the return leg in London. West Ham are dealing with it well so far.

Cornet is on for Fornals.

This is their 12th corner of the match! They haven't been able to profit thus far.

It's been a really professional performance from West Ham so far it has to be said. They've controlled the game without really having to get out of second gear, have made changes to give players minutes and rest others and look in no danger of conceding.

Aaron Creswell does well to head out a cross for a AEK Larnaca corner, he had AEK players behind him waiting for the delivery.

The hosts are trying to play out from the back and up the pitch into the final third, they are showing good patience on the ball as they look to get back into this match.

Imad Faraj has an effort on goal which Areola saves well.

Downes is booked.

AEK Larnaca are really trying to move the ball quickly now and into attacking areas as they look to pull one back.

The ball is hooked in by Fornals looking for Scamacca but Tomovic is there at the back post to hook it away. Great defending.

Jakolis tries his luck from distance but it's a routine save for Alphonse Areola.

Six new players have entered the fray and after a period of not much happening the game is back underway.

Nikolics is on for Rafael Lopes.
