Andriy Yarmolenko scored in extra-time to send West Ham into the Europa League quarter-finals, eliminating Sevilla with a 2-1 aggregate triumph on a dramatic night at the London Stadium.
Tomas Soucek levelled up the tie with a powerful header shortly before half-time, but the Premier League side were unable to find a pivotal second goal before the contest moved into extra-time.
With the match seemingly heading for spot-kicks, Yarmolenko stepped up to tap home a dramatic West Ham winner after 112 minutes and the hosts held on to win 2-0 on the night.
The Ukrainian substitute's stunning intervention means David Moyes' team have reached their first major European quarter-final since they reached the last eight of the 1980-81 Cup Winners' Cup.
Pablo Fornals had a volleyed effort blocked during a frantic opening, before Alphonse Areola made a stunning reaction save from Youssef En-Nesyri's left-footed strike on 26 minutes.
The Hammers then went close at the other end when visiting goalkeeper Yassine Bounou made an excellent one-on-one save to deny Michail Antonio.
But West Ham finally took the lead on 39 minutes, with Soucek powering a firm header into the top-left corner after meeting Antonio's looped cross, before En-Nesyri headed wide at the end of a dream first half for the Irons.
The hosts went agonisingly close to a second goal on the hour, Sevilla scrambling clear after Manuel Lanzini forced Bounou into a double save.
Jesus Corona then blazed over the bar at the other end on 70 minutes, which proved to be the last notable chance before the tie entered extra-time, with the aggregate scoreline still level after Sevilla’s 1-0 first-leg win in Spain.
Soucek missed the first golden opportunity of extra-time, nodding narrowly wide at the back post, before Yarmolenko's second goal in as many games sent the stadium into raptures.
The 32-year-old pounced after Bounou turned away Fornals' long-range strike, tapping home to eliminate the six-time Europa League winners.
