Europa Cup qualifying: West Ham squander two goal lead to Astra Giurgiu

James Collins sent off

James Collins gets sent off in the 59th minute on a silly, silly foul and the Hammers implode as Fernando Boldrin scorches his shot from 25 yards out. Minutes later, Angelo Ogbonna ill advisedly flails his leg out to about the worst pass made into the box and the ball catches his foot and balloons over Adrian for an own goal.

Astra end the match on level terms but most importantly get a 2 goal away cushion on the return leg. Slaven Bilic almost bursts a blood vessel because this was a match they should not have thrown away as Enner Valencia and Mauro Zarate opened up a two goal lead and West Ham were on cruise control.
