Angelo Ogbonna's header in the final minutes of extra time gave West Ham a thrilling 2-1 victory over Liverpool to advance to the FA Cup fifth round.

Angelo Ogbonna was the unlikely hero as West Ham claimed a last-gasp 2-1 victory in extra time against Liverpool in their FA Cup fourth-round replay at Upton Park.

The former Juventus defender soared to head home his first West Ham goal in the 121st minute from a Dimitri Payet free kick, after Lucas Leiva stained an otherwise exemplary performance at center back by fouling Enner Valencia.

The visitors' main villain was Christian Benteke, who undermined an industrious showing by wasting a string of chances.

Earlier, Joey O'Brien and Payet struck the post for West Ham either side of Philippe Coutinho doing likewise and Michail Antonio crowned an eventful opening 45 minutes by dispatching a fine opener for the hosts.
