Castellanos buries his header in extra time to secure a morale-boosting win for West Ham at the London Stadium

Overview

  • West Ham beat QPR 2-1 after extra time in the FA Cup third round, with Taty Castellanos heading in the winner from a Crysencio Summerville cross in the first additional period.
  • Summerville put West Ham ahead in first-half stoppage time before Richard Kone equalised midway through the second half for the Championship side.
  • The victory snapped a 10-match winless run dating back to November 8 and secured a place in the fourth round.
  • Castellanos, signed last week from Lazio for about £25–26 million, opened his West Ham account in what was among his first appearances for the club.
  • West Ham said centre-back Konstantinos Mavropanos was conscious after being stretchered off with a head injury, while captain Jarrod Bowen praised Castellanos and said the team will need more goals from him.
