Scott Wagstaff hits a brace as League One side fend off West Ham f ightback
Scott Wagstaff hits a brace as League One side fend off West Ham fightback. For the majority of this enthralling FA Cup encounter, you got the sense that West Ham’s players thought they had turned up at Wimbledon for a spot of lawn tennis. There was no nastiness from the Premier League visitors, no grit, no determination to win this fourth-round tie or avoid losing to a side sitting bottom of League One. Only in the second half, once they were 3-0 down, once the Wimbledon supporters were gleefully singing about playing them every week, did they finally wake up. AFC Wimbledon (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale, Watson, Thomas, McDonald, Oshilaja, Nightingale, Wordsworth, Connolly, Wagstaff, Pinnock, Appiah; Subs: Jervis, Garratt, Trotter, Soares, Sibbick, McDonnell, Pigott Scorers: Appiah 34, Wagstaff 41, 46, Sibbick 88 West Ham (4-3-3): Adrian, Antonio, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Diangana, Noble, Obiang, Snodgrass, Hernandez, Carroll; Subs: Fabianski, Felipe Anderson, Fredericks, Lucas Perez, Holland, Rice, Coventry Scorers: Perez 57, Anderson 71 Referee: Anthony Taylor Manager Manuel Pellegrini made three changes at half time and two of them – Lucas Perez and £40million Felipe Anderson – got goals back. The third did not follow. Instead, it was Wimbledon who rounded off an excitable evening, scoring in the dying moments to cap a historic victory for the club only formed in 2002. It is approaching 40 years since West Ham last lifted a trophy. That was the FA Cup in May 1980, when they defeated Arsenal 1-0 at Wembley. The wait will go on. When asked about Wimbledon’s Crazy Gang history before this tie, Pellegrini gave a puzzled look – the type you might see on a quiz show when the contestant doesn’t have the foggiest. If a fan of Hollywood films, Pellegrini might at least have recognised one of its old members in the crowd. Vinnie Jones, football’s former hard man and 1988 FA Cup winner, watched on. Wimbledon boss Wally Downes had called on his players to channel that Crazy Gang spirit here. They listened, winning every 50-50 as West Ham's stars seemed reluctant to make the effort. Andy Carroll started but in the warm up, from 20 yards out and with no goalkeeper in goal, he hoofed one shot out of the stadium. His feet never were never his strength anyway. The 6ft 4in striker got his head to two corners in the opening 15 minutes but could direct neither of them on target. Carroll then set up Javier Hernandez with a header but he too fired wide. Wimbledon then scored the opener and, to tell the truth, it was fully deserved. Anthony Wordsworth slipped the ball through to Kwesi Appiah, who took a touch and beat Adrian. Suddenly, an FA Cup upset was on the cards, largely because West Ham looked like they could not be bothered. It got worse before half time. Pedro Obiang gave the ball away on the halfway line and suddenly Scott Wagstaff was through. He sprinted for goal with only Adrian to beat and scored for 2-0. Pellegrini walked down the tunnel with a face like thunder. His side had not managed a single shot on target and he brought on £40m Anderson, Perez and Ryan Fredericks. Then, just 38 seconds into the second half, it was 3-0. Appiah crossed and Wagstaff – a free transfer from Gillingham in the summer – poked home from 12 yards. Wagstaff had scored two goals in 27 games before West Ham came to town. Now, he had two in 46 minutes. Co-owner David Sullivan, sat in front of the press box, shook his head. A special mention has to go to Dylan Connolly, too. The 23-year-old Irishman – so unknown he does not have a Wikipedia page – had been outstanding on his first start for the Dons. Finally, West Ham started to pile on the pressure and it became 3-1 before the hour mark. A melee in the box gave Perez a chance to shoot and he buried the ball beyond Aaron Ramsdale. Then, it was 3-2. A free-kick from 25 yards was inviting to Anderson
West Ham a fait un excellent match devant Macclesfield
West Ham a remporté une victoire de 8-0 contre Macclesfield dans la Coupe Carabao. Robert Snodgrass, Lucas Perez, Ryan Fredericks et le débutant Grady Diangana ont tous marqué leurs premiers buts pour le club. Michail Antonio et Angelo Ogbonna étaient également dans la course alors que les Hammers ont enregistré leur première victoire à domicile de la saison et leur plus grande victoire depuis 35 ans. West Ham fait rarement un tel travail d’opposition dans les compétitions de la ligue - les souvenirs des défaites à Wrexham, Northampton, Stockport et Aldershot, entre autres, sont encore présents alors qu’ils étaient menés par l’AFC Wimbledon après seulement une minute au tour précédent. Ils étaient presque derrière lorsque Macclesfield, sans victoire toute la saison, s’est aventuré en avant et que la remise en jeu de James Pearson a permis de retrouver Harry Smith, dont l’effort à bout portant a été effacé par Adrian. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pour plus d'informations, visitez mon site Web: http://www.sportnews24.ga ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- N'oubliez pas de vous abonnez à : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/news.sport18 Pinterest : https://www.pinterest.com/sportifnews Twitter : https://twitter.com/AjdiHassan instagram : https://www.instagram.com/sportif.news24
Aston Villa 3-0 Reading: Steve Bruce's side cruise to victory over 10-man Royals
Aston Villa bounced back to winning form with an easy 3-0 Sky Bet Championship win over Reading. Steve Bruce's side outplayed struggling Reading for almost the entire game and the Royals, who played with 10 men for the last hour, succumbed to second-half goals from Birkir Bjarnason, Conor Hourihane and Scott Hogan.Reading had defeated Villa in their last two encounters but there were few opportunities to repeat their success as they slumped to their ninth defeat in 10 away games and now find themselves deeply involved in a relegation battle. They were completely dominated by a Villa side who eventually recorded their most comfortable win of the season. A late bonus for Villa saw Jonathan Kodjia, their main marksman last season, made his first home appearance since last October as a second-half substitute to give the club an added boost in the run-in to the end of the season. He has been absent with an ankle injury.With only one point from their previous three games, Villa's uncertainty was evident in the early skirmishes.Although Jack Grealish had an early chance in the fourth minute with a volley which went over the bar, Villa lacked initial conviction against a Reading side who began with five players across the back. Norwich vs A Villa April 7, 2018, 12:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Sterling defensive play enabled the Royals to stay in the game, helped by some indifferent finishing which was highlighted on one occasion midway through the first half when Neil Taylor made a hash of a left-footed shot.Reading's hopes effectively disappeared on the half-hour when David Edwards collected a second yellow card and an early departure from the game.Two minutes later only a smart save by Vito Mannone kept out a Hogan header and in the next raid he blocked an effort on the goal-line from the same Villa player.The over-worked Mannone then casually held a long-range Grealish shot. The goalkeeper was helpless a minute into the second half though when Villa broke the stalemate.Grealish set up Robert Snodgrass, who jinked his way into space before slipping a low pass into the path of Bjarnson to score with a swerving shot to the right of Mannone.The second goal arrived in the 62nd minute when Hourihane was on hand to head home a short cross from Snodgrass.Villa's third goal came when Mannone was stranded yards out of his goal and Hogan took full advantage to score with a low raking shot in the 70th minute.
A Decent Result But Helps Neither Team: Hull City 0-0 Aston Villa: Matchday Vlog:
Steve Bruce, Robert Snodgrass, Ahmed Elmohamady and James Chester returned to the KCOM Stadium with Aston Villa. Robert Snodgrass was bood all game by Hull fans were as Bruce, Elmohamady and Chester came back to applauses from us. A poor first half from both teams but Hull especially came out flying in the second half and were by far the better side (not biased). If Hull played the way they did in the second half for the entire game they would have won. Snodgrass had chant of ‘Greedy B*****d Du Du Du Du’ in his direction referring his switch to West Ham in January 2017.

Floyd Ayite stole the show with a wonderfully taken long-range effort as Fulham brought Aston Villa’s run of seven consecutive league wins to a juddering halt.The Togo international found the net from inside his own half at Craven Cottage after making the most of Sam Johnstone’s poor clearance from a free kick on the right-hand touchline.The strike was the cherry on top a devastating second-half display, where Slavisa Jokanovic’s side went ahead through the right boot of 17-year-old Ryan Sessegnon.
