WEST HAM eased into the fifth round of the FA cup following their comfortable win over Doncaster Rovers at the London Stadium at the weekend.
The home side didn’t waste any time asserting their authority, with Pablo Fornals turning in a Ryan Fredericks cross, just two minutes into the game.
Said Benrahma was central to West Ham’s most creative moves, never more so than on the half hour, with an inch perfect through ball to put Andriy Yarmolenko in to finish with ease, chipping just over the advancing goalkeeper.
