West Ham United edged past Queens Park Rangers in extra time to reach the FA Cup fourth round, securing a rare moment of relief for manager Nuno Espírito Santo. The tie went beyond 90 minutes despite West Ham’s Premier League status, underlining ongoing concerns about form and confidence. January signing Taty Castellanos proved decisive, heading home the winner after an assist from Crysencio Summerville, who also scored West Ham’s opener in one of his strongest displays for the club. QPR, led by Julien Stéphan, forced extra time through a second-half equaliser and earned praise for pushing top-flight opposition deep into the contest. The victory ended West Ham’s long wait for a win and briefly lifted the gloom around the London Stadium, though concerns about squad depth, injuries and league form remain unresolved.
