Noble's penalty gives West Ham away goal advantage in Europa League play-off but Hammers left to rue conceding late leveller

ASTRA GIURGIU 1-1 WEST HAM - SAM CUNNINGHAM AT STADIONUL MARIN ANASTASOVICI: They may have joked that they were on a stag do, but West Ham's players suffered a Europa League hangover after Astra Giurgiu levelled late on over in Romania. 


Striker Andy Carroll made the proclamation in jest when they touched down in Bucharest to face opponents who shocked them at this final stage of Europa League qualifying last year, beating a West Ham B-team in Giurgiu.
