Moment fan runs on pitch and stops West Ham during dangerous attack against Lyon to leave David Moyes visibly fuming

A WEST HAM fan brought a promising attack to a grinding halt after running onto the pitch, enraging boss David Moyes.

The Hammers played out a 1-1 draw with Lyon at the London Stadium in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash.
