‘They don’t trust us!’ – Soucek and Coufal reveal West Ham stars forced to undergo doping test after heroic Lyon win

WEST HAM stars Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal revealed they had to do a doping test after beating Lyon.

The Hammers progressed to the Europa League semi-final after winning 3-0 away in Lyon, sealing a 4-1 aggregate victory.

And Soucek suggested the authorities did not trust his team – making the West Ham’s players undergo a drug test after the final whistle.

He shared a photo on Twitter of him and Czech compatriot Vladimir Coufal toasting their victory as they sat awaiting the test.

And he added a caption which reads: “They don’t trust us again!!! Doping test after unique game!!!! Yeeeeeeees!! We are going through ”

Coufal shared the same snap, adding: “It is worst what can happen after this game doping control .

“Enjoy celebration in the changing room guys west ham is massive ”

There was plenty of other drama inside the Groupama Stadium following the final whistle as Lyon fans tried to invade the pitch.

Riot police clashed with Lyon ultras and were forced to use pepper spray on overzealous supporters.

Some fans even threw missiles at Declan Rice as he was substituted off the pitch late on in the game.

Uefa officials also came onto the pitch to escort the rest of the Hammers team off the pitch, but David Moyes still managed to fist bump the travelling support from the pitch.

But Soucek and co. likely will not care about the unsavoury scenes after booking their place in the Europa League semi-final, where they will take on Eintracht Frankfurt.

The German outfit stunned Barcelona by racing into a 3-0 lead at the Nou Camp – the match ended 3-2 with Frankfurt winning 4-3 on aggregate.

After the match Rice said to BT Sport: “It’s special. Very, very special.

“We knew it was a tough place to come, we knew they had top individual quality but we knew with what we had on the pitch, our attacking players and what we had seen in the first game with them defensively, we knew we could score goals tonight.

“To get a 2-0 lead and then come out early in the second half and Jarrod to put that one in the net as well is a special feeling. For all the fans, it is such a great night.”

Rice added West Ham’s second and he said of his goal: “It was massive. When Daws scored it went 2-1 on aggregate and my one was 3-1 and there was a little bit of breathing space.

“When it is half-time and it is 2-0 your heart is racing. You’re only thinking about the game still being 0-0 as you need to go out and give another strong performance. It was special and so good.

“If you can’t get up for these games you shouldn’t be playing football. The roar from the warm-up, it was spine-tingling and it gives you that fire in your stomach to go out there and perform.

“There were a few incentives for us tonight to go out there and win. Dembele winking in the first leg at the camera and their Twitter admin somehow saying that they don’t see how they are not going to get through.

“Those things come back to bite you. We stayed quiet, put in a performance and now West Ham are in the semis. What more do we want?”
