Lucas Perri saved two penalties as Leeds United secured a dramatic shootout victory over West Ham United to reach their first FA Cup semi-final since 1987. The match at London Stadium went to extra time after West Ham fought back from 2-0 down.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin had put Leeds within touching distance of the semi-finals, but West Ham forced extra time with a wild fightback. Alphonse Areola’s injury led to 20-year-old Finlay Herrick making his West Ham debut, and he faced a baptism of fire in the shootout.
Leeds goalkeeper Perri, who had earlier made a stunning save to deny Taty Castellanos, kept out penalties from Jarrod Bowen and Pablo. Pascal Struijk scored the winning spot-kick to send Leeds through.
The victory sets up a semi-final meeting with Chelsea. Leeds last reached this stage in 1987.
