West Ham have gone out of the Europa League before the group stages.

They lost their play-off with Astra Giurgiu 1-0 at the Olympic Stadium to exit the competition after a 2-1 aggregate defeat.

Filipe Teixeira netted on 45 minutes to stun the Hammers and West Ham missed a host of second half chances to miss out on a full campaign of European football at their new home ground.
