Olympiakos 2-1 West Ham: Hammers' record-breaking unbeaten European run ended
West Ham’s record-breaking 17-game unbeaten European run was ended by Olympiakos after a 2-1 Europa League defeat in Greece.
The Hammers, who had become the first English side to go 17 consecutive European matches unbeaten, conceded two first-half goals to halt their perfect start to this season's Europa League.
Olympiakos captain Kostas Fortounis opened the scoring in the 33rd minute with a powerful toe-poked strike from the edge of the box.
The home side then doubled their lead in first-half stoppage-time when West Ham skipper Angelo Ogbonna sliced into his own net.
West Ham, who made seven changes for the game in Pireaus, were given hope of a late comeback thanks to a fine first-time volley from substitute Lucas Paqueta in the 87th minute, but Olympiakos held on for victory despite eight minutes of added time.
West Ham remain top of Group A, although they are now level on points with German side Freiburg after their 3-1 win at bottom side TSC, while third-place Olympiakos are now just two points behind the Hammers.
