"Leeds United reached their first FA Cup semi-final in 39 years by beating West Ham 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out, after a classic quarter-final finished 2-2 after extra time."
"Leeds were 2-0 up going into the 93rd minute of regular time after goals from Ao Tanaka and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but Mateus Fernandes and Axel Disasi struck in a remarkable finale."
"West Ham had the better chances in extra time but saw two goals disallowed for offside, while they also had to hand 20-year-old goalkeeper Finlay Herrick his debut off the bench after Alphonse Areola was injured late on."
"Though Herrick saved the first kick he faced, Jarrod Bowen and Pablo were denied by Lucas Perri as Leeds progressed from a tie they looked to have thrown away."
