West Ham United secured their place in the FA Cup fifth round with a hard-fought 1-0 extra-time victory over League One side Burton Albion on Saturday. The Premier League club struggled to break down their lower-league opponents at the Pirelli Stadium.
Crysencio Summerville proved to be the difference, scoring the decisive goal in the 95th minute. The winger's strike, a deflected effort, was his sixth goal in his last seven appearances across all competitions, continuing his impressive form.
The Hammers faced a challenging second half and extra time. Freddie Potts received a straight red card in the 101st minute for a late challenge, leaving West Ham with ten men for the final period of the match. Despite the numerical disadvantage, manager Nuno Espirito Santo's side held on to avoid an upset and progress in the competition.
