Mark Noble scored a penalty for Slaven Bilic's men but they were denied victory when Denis Alibec scored late on the hosts in the Europa League play-off round on Thursday
West Ham scored a vital away goal as they drew 1-1 with Astra Giurgiu in the Europa League playoff round on Thursday.
Mark Noble gave the Hammers the lead from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time against the same opponents who knocked them out at this stage last season.
Michail Antonio came close to doubling West Ham's lead in the second half and his miss would prove costly as Astra stormed up the other end to equalise late on.
