West Ham edge Brentford on penalties to reach FA Cup quarter-finals after Ouattara's Panenka horror

— Match Report

West Ham United put their relegation worries to one side to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup for the first time in 10 years, defeating London rivals Brentford 5-3 on penalties at the London Stadium after a 2-2 draw.

Dango Ouattara was the villain of the shoot-out, attempting an embarrassingly weak Panenka that looped gently into Alphonse Areola's hands, before Konstantinos Mavropanos struck the winning kick to book the Hammers a last-eight home tie with Leeds United.

Bowen brace gives Hammers the early initiative

After Brentford had missed early chances through Jordan Henderson and Michael Kayode, Jarrod Bowen's 19th-minute close-range finish put West Ham ahead. A recycled corner was delivered back into the box by Mateus Fernandes and nodded across goal, where Bowen had peeled off his marker to prod home from a couple of yards.
