Hammers to host Leeds after defeating Brentford on penalties

West Ham United will host Leeds United in the quarter-final of the FA Cup after defeating Brentford on penalties.

Brentford are one of the teams who have been known for their set-pieces but that was how West Ham United took the lead at the London Stadium.

It was Jarrod Bowen who sent in the corner that was initially cleared before Mateus Fernandes put the ball back into the area which was headed down by Tomas Soucek before Bowen ended up getting the final touch to prod home from close range.

The Bees equalised just under 10 minutes later. Michael Kayode elected for a shorter throw-in to Dango Ouattara who put in a cross for Nathan Collins to head home.

VAR took a long look at it for a potential offside by Igor Thiago in front of the goalkeeper. The Brazilian was onside which led to a check of whether the final touch was from his arm but the goal was given and awarded to Thiago as he deftly helped it past Alphonse Aréola.

After validating the equaliser, VAR had to interrupt to award a penalty that put the Irons back ahead. Kayode was guilty of tripping Adama Traoré, a call that wasn't given by the on-field referee Andy Madley who pointed to the spot after looking at the footage.

Bowen stepped up to take the penalty and calmly slotted into the bottom left corner as Caoimhin Kelleher dived to his right.

There were two big incidents just before the break. Kevin Schade wanted a penalty after he fought he was fouled by Fernandes but the review deemed that the midfielder got the ball before making contact with the Brentford forward.

Then just before the break Kelleher made a fine save to deny Soucek from close range, keeping his side within a goal going into half-time.

After an action-packed first first half the game slowed in the second half as Brentford searched for an equaliser, which eventually came 10 minutes from time.

Substitute Crys Summerville was penalised for pushing Kayode in the back as the Italian rose for a header. Igor Thiago ended up standing over the ball and stuttered in his run up, catching Aréola unbalanced before firing a powerful effort in to make it 2-2.

That goal forced the game into extra-time which saw the tempo of the game drop even more and while Romelle Donovan and Axel Disasi both had efforts fly just over the bar, penalties loomed.

West Ham boss Nuno Espírito Santo couldn't bear to watch the penalties but he missed out as his team dispatched all of their spot-kicks emphatically. Meanwhile, Ouattara's attempted paneka penalty that gave Aréola his easiest catch of the evening ultimately cost Brentford .
