Leeds hold nerve to win shootout after West Ham’s dramatic fightback
The Story So Far
West Ham United exited the FA Cup following a penalty shootout defeat to Leeds United at the London Stadium. After trailing by two goals, the Hammers produced a remarkable late comeback to force extra time, catching out many home supporters who had already left the ground. Despite the momentum shift, Leeds held their nerve from the spot to progress. The contest saw young goalkeeper Finlay Herrick make a senior appearance for the club. His inclusion followed a brief development loan consisting of ten games in the National League. The visitors’ clinical finishing in the shootout ended West Ham United's hopes.
