West Ham boss Moyes confident players will avoid UEFA action

West Ham United manager David Moyes is confident that his players will not be punished for getting involved in stadium trouble against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday.

The Hammers beat the Dutch outfit in the Europa Conference League semi final 1-0, winning 2-1 in aggregate to reach the final.

However, the game was marred by crowd trouble, with Alkmaar ultras appearing to go after West Ham fans and even family members of the players.

“I can't see any problem, to be honest," Moyes told reporters.

“I work with UEFA on the technical stuff and I don't think we'll have any questions asked about that, that's my own opinion."

“If you're a West Ham supporter, there's nothing you can do but applaud the team and how they've performed, because they've done remarkable," Moyes added.

“I hope that we've got something that we can really give them to shout about in a week or so's time."
