West Ham United have booked their place in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals after a 4-0 round-of-16 second leg thrashing of Cypriot side AEK Larnaca at the London Stadium.
Gianluca Scamacca's first start since January's draw with Leeds United coincided with a first half goal for the Italian, with Jarrod Bowen adding two early in the second half to kill off the tie. Teenage striker Divin Mubama's first senior goal shortly after coming on in the second half then sealed a 6-0 aggregate victory.
Here is how football.london’s West Ham United writer Jonty Colman rated the Hammers’ players against Larnaca.

Alphonse Areola
French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola kept his 100 per cent record of starting all ten matches in the Europa Conference League this season, with Lukasz Fabianski still out injured. The shot-stopper had very little to do in the first half, with Larnaca's only first half chance of note being Nemanja Nikolic's run and well-taken finish, only to be denied for a tight offside. Had the odd save to make in the second half, but it was all very routine. 7
Ben Johnson
Thilo Kehrer had been preferred to Ben Johnson for the last few matches after severely struggling against Brighton and Hove Albion 12 days ago, but the English defender was recalled for the second leg against Larnaca. Had the odd nervy moment at right-back, including a slip on the halfway line in the second half that led to a Larnaca chance that they did not take. A performance he could take confidence from overall after a recent poor run of form, but he still looked the most likely to be at fault out of the Hammers' back four. Wanted a late penalty when going forward in the closing stages but did not get one. 6
Kurt Zouma
Having not started a match in this competition all season, Zouma was given a second European start in a week, with both coming against Larnaca. A really solid showing in the heart of defence and the Frenchman put one or two of his trademark thumping challenges to cut out the little Larnaca had to offer going forward. Taken off with just over 20 minutes to play to give Levi Laing a senior debut. 6
Angelo Ogbonna
Italian centre-back Angelo Ogbonna was playing for the first time since suffering a minor injury against Brighton, but has not missed a game due to it. He captained the side, partnering Zouma at centre-back. West Ham's dominance of the game allowed West Ham to put in strong tackles and their defence's ability to get forward and start moves helped West Ham play a more attacking brand of football. 7
Aaron Cresswell
West Ham's left-back and vice-captain was surprisingly not wearing the armband despite starting and playing for the duration and with Declan Rice rested. Got forward well throughout the tie and got a long-awaited assist when his low second half cross was turned in by a sumptuous Bowen header, his second goal in three minutes. Helped West Ham keep a fairly comfortable clean sheet. 7
Tomas Soucek
Czech Republic international midfielder Tomas Soucek formed a really good midfield partnership with Lucas Paqueta as the Hammers completely bossed the match from start to finish. Showed good intent to get forward and whenever Larnaca broke, he often cut it out. His thumping header off a Cresswell corner led to Mubama adding the fourth. Came off with just over 20 minutes to go as Freddie Potts got some minutes. 8
Manuel Lanzini
Argentine midfielder Manuel Lanzini, like Areola, continued his record of starting all ten matches in this competition this season. Had another really good game, as many of his performances in Europe this season have been. Showed good passing through the lines and often found himself making runs down the left that stretched Larnaca's back line, playing a through ball in the first half that led to Scamacca's opener. A good 90 minutes. 7
Lucas Paqueta
Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta did not show off too much of his samba flair, but did control the midfield well alongside Soucek and came close to a first half goal when his shot was blocked, when he could have squared. Taken off early in the second half alongside Scamacca and Bowen, a good showing before heading off to Brazil duty this month. 7
Jarrod Bowen (Star man)
Winger Bowen was lively in the first half after an impressive display against Aston Villa on Sunday, although it did not lead to a goal or assist. Having been left out of the England squad on Thursday afternoon, Bowen bounced back quickly, converting West Ham's second on the rebound of a saved Scamacca chance before looping a sumptuous header over goalkeeper Kenan Piric minutes later, his tenth and 11th of the season and now on eight in Europe, West Ham's all-time top scorer in European football. Taken off on 55 minutes. 8
Gianluca Scamacca
After watching the last four matches from the substitute's bench in the Premier League, Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca was given a massive chance to prove himself following recent criticism from Moyes on his "physical data." Moyes' recent comments was always going to be the story no matter how he played, but returned the goods on 20 minutes when shuffling past a defender and toe-poking a low shot past Piric. Had other good chances, including a saved effort that led to Bowen's first. Taken off on 55 minutes, but a pleasing display. 7
Pablo Fornals
Spaniard Pablo Fornals pressed well and added plenty of good energy, as he often does, when chasing down loose balls. Kept the ball ticking over nicely in the middle of the pitch and got a good 90 minutes in his 22nd European appearance for the club, a club record. 7
Substitutes
Maxwel Cornet
There was a first run out of more than ten minutes for winger Maxwel Cornet, playing the final 35 and coming on in a triple substitution while West Ham were 5-0 up on aggregate. Showed good movement and ball control throughout but did not quite have the impact he showed in the first leg. A good run out though. 5
Divin Mubama
Teenage striker Divin Mubama was one of three players bough on in a triple substitution shortly after West Ham went 3-0 up on the night. Got his first senior goal ten minutes after coming on when turning Soucek's header on goal with a clever finish that highlights the form he has had for the academy this term. Continued to run well and had other half chances. A very pleasing cameo. 7
Danny Ings
Danny Ings got 35 minutes under his belt in his first Europen appearance since April 2018 in a Champions League semi-final for Liverpool against Roma. Did not do all that much when coming on as younger counterpart Mubama upstaged him. 5
Freddie Potts
There was a second outing in Europe of the season for young midfielder Freddie Potts, playing 21 minutes. Made a good tackle to allow West Ham to press high and passed well, but did lose the ball leading to a counter attack. 5
Levi Laing
There was a senior debut for centre-back Levi Laing for the final 21 minutes. Made a good couple of clearances but had little else to do. 6
