Europa League: Rangers Advance, as West Ham crash out

By Emmanuel Oladele - Rangers on Thursday night overturned their 1-0 first leg semi-final deficit to progress into the final of the UEFA Europa League. The Scottish team stunned RB Leipzig by 3-1 in the semi-final second leg.

Goals from Tavenier, Kamara and Lundstram in the 18th, 24th and 80th minute respectively were enough to give the Van Bronchorst led side the desired victory of the night.

The game ended 3-1 (3-2 on aggregate) in favour of Rangers.
