Crysencio Summerville reels away in celebration after putting West Ham United in front - Darren Staples/AFP

Crysencio Summerville spared West Ham’s blushes as he came off the bench to score an extra-time winner against League One Burton and put Nuno Espírito Santos’s side into the FA Cup last 16 with a 1-0 victory.
Summerville made it six goals in his last seven when he struck in the 95th minute of a poor contest, cutting in from the left and beating two defenders before hitting a shot which deflected off Terence Vancooten to beat Brad Collins.
West Ham may have won three of their last five in the Premier League to offer renewed hope of avoiding the drop, but a side sporting 10 changes from the 1-1 draw with Manchester United laboured against a side 47 league places below them, fourth bottom of League One.
They finished the match hanging on after Freddie Potts was sent off in the 101st minute for a poor challenge through the back of Julian Larsson, with Jack Armer, Kain Adom and Kyran Lofthouse all flashing shots narrowly wide for the hosts.

Before kick-off, West Ham fans had arranged for a plane to fly over the Pirelli Stadium calling on directors David Sullivan and Karren Brady to go, and this was hardly a performance to quell feelings of discontent.
Burton manager Gary Bowyer spent the week trying to inspire his players with screenings of the then non-league club’s famous goalless FA Cup draw against Manchester United in 2006, and they offered a match for West Ham for long periods but did not have the quality to test Alphonse Areola.

FULL TIME: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
All over at the Pirelli and West Ham hang on. The free kick came to nothing and that means West Ham are into the fifth round.
02:57pm
120+2mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
Collins, Adom and Walker-Peters booked after some pushing and shoving between the players. The end result is a free kick for Burton. Their final chance...
02:55pm
120+1mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
Burton work it well and Adom shoots, forcing Areola into a save. But the ball is not cleared, there is a scramble and Chauke shoots into the side-netting.

Two minutes added time...

Was that the moment for Burton? Lofthouse drags a shot wide from the edge of the box. Areola was not getting there.
02:49pm
114mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
Poor pass by Collins to Chauke and that allows Summerville to nip in and steal the ball. The in-form attacker gets into the box, shoots but his effort is into the side-netting.
Might he rue that missed opportunity?
02:46pm
113mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
Pinball in the West Ham box as the Premier League side struggle to clear their lines. The ball falls to Adom on the edge of the box but he shoots wide.
Time running out for Burton...

Burton piling on the pressure now. Several crosses being whipped into the West Ham box. Areola hasn’t had to make a save though.

HALF TIME: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
West Ham go into the break with lead. But it is a slim margin given they are a man down. Big 15 minutes for Burton.
02:33pm
105mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
Three minutes added on and Armer drags a left-footed shot just wide. Should have done better there.
02:32pm
104mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1
Big turning point in this match potentially. Can Burton take advantage of having the extra man?
02:30pm
100mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1 RED CARD
Potts fouls Larsson and appears ready to give a yellow card. But the Burton players are furious and want a red. Referee Lewis Smith walks over to see Larsson and changes his mind, pulling out a red card instead.
Replays show it was a bad tackle. Potts lunged in high on the ankle.
02:23pm
94mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 1 GOAL
YES WE WILL. Excellent finish from Summerville, who has been in great form in recent weeks. He picks up the ball wide on the left, cuts inside and drives towards the Burton box. He takes a shot which is slightly deflected and flies past Collins.
A moment of quality that this match has been badly lacking.
02:21pm
EXTRA TIME: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Back underway at the Pirelli. Will we get a winner before the need for penalties?
02:13pm

Nothing to separate the sides means we are going into extra time.

Feels like both sides are comfortable with the game going to extra time...

Summerville is one of the in-form players in the Premier League at the moment. I’m sure Nuno was hoping to give him a full rest today.

Burton have done well to weather the pressure from West Ham in the second half and are starting to see more of the ball and test the Premier League side with crosses. Less than 15 minutes to go. Will we get a winner in normal time?

First meaningful save for Collins. Mavropanos clips a ball over the top and Wilson runs in behind onto it, takes the shot early and Collins tips the ball over the bar. Great effort.
West Ham sub:
OFF Lamadrid
ON Potts
01:45pm
65mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Sustained pressure from West Ham. Burton players forced to make several blocks in their box, there are some appeals for a penalty but nothing is given.
01:40pm
61mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
A reminder that if it remains goalless we will head to extra time and maybe penalties.
01:34pm
55mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
First moment of real danger from the away side. Traore breezes past his man down the right, bursts into the box and pulls the ball back to Scarles at the far post. West Ham have a series off corners and Mavropanos heads straight at Collins.
01:27pm
49mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
It hasn’t been a major improvement but West Ham are dominating the early stages here. Haven’t seen enough from Lamadrid in attack so far.
01:23pm
SECOND HALF: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Players are back out on the field. West Ham get the half going and their fans will be demanding a lot more from them.
01:08pm
HALF TIME: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
The whistle goes and Burton will be pleased to be level. West Ham have been poor. Offered very little and means Nuno may need to turn to his bench in the second half.
01:04pm
45mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Four minutes added on!
01:01pm
41mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Five minutes to the break and West Ham are finally starting to put passes together in the Burton half. They are moving it quicker but the end product is not there as shown by Kante blazing a shot over the bar.
12:56pm
36mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
First attempt at goal by West Ham. Wilson curls one from distance but keeper Collins makes an easy save.
12:54pm
34mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Another free-kick wide on the left for Burton but once again the delivery is poor and Areola makes a comfortable claim. Burton to making the most of their chances to put pressure on West Ham, who themselves have done very little.

A blow for Burton. After taking the corner, Revan jogs slowly and goes down. It doesn’t look like he can continue.
12:49pm
29mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Free kick in a dangerous position for Burton. It is around 25 yards out, just right off centre. Evans takes it but his strike is deflected off the wall and goes out for a corner.
Once again West Ham deal well with a Burton set-piece.
12:45pm
25mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Scales is down and in need of treatment. He took a knock on his ankle and appears in a lot of pain.
But he is back on to continue.
12:42pm
22mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
West Ham have had more possession and completed more passes but they need to improve because they have been very sluggish so far. No shot on goal so far.
12:38pm
19mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
First corner of the match for West Ham is whipped in by Scales but Burton defend it well.
12:36pm

First long throw of the match for Burton is launched by Shade. The delivery is good but no one in a yellow and black shirt can make contact to force Areola into a save.
12:33pm
12mins: Burton Albion 0 West Ham United 0
Blistering speed from Traore as he bursts through the middle of the field. He lays the ball off to Wilson for the striker is deemed to be offside.
At the same time, in the away end, West Ham fans are holding red cards aloft in protest against David Sullivan and Karren Brady.

Burton want a penalty after Beesley is bumped into by Mavropanos. Referee Smith is unmoved. Risk challenge to make but probably the right decision.

Free kick is cleared to the edge of the box to Shade and he fires a shot high and wide. Missed chance to put pressure on West Ham there.

Burton are winning the aerial duels and keeping West Ham pinned in their half. They now have a free-kick wide on the left in a dangerous position...

As expected, the pitch at the Pirelli is not in great condition so that could even things up. This West Ham team have never played with each other so they might take some time to settle.

KICK OFF: Burton Albion vs West Ham United
Three minutes later than scheduled, here we go! Great atmosphere at the Pirelli. Will we get another cup upset today?
Burton get the match started.

Match delayed
Slight delay here due to a damaged net which is undergoing urgent repairs.

FA Cup throwback
Twenty years ago, Burton were in the Conference but they earned a memorable goalless draw against Manchester United to force a lucrative replay at Old Trafford.
Man Utd’s team on the night included Wes Brown, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer while Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench.

Burton welcome West Ham to the Pirelli Stadium
Hello and welcome to coverage of the FA Cup fourth round as West Ham visit League One side Burton Albion.
This is the first ever meeting between the two sides in any competition. Both teams drew matches in midweek but the Premier League side will be the favourites to progress following a recent improvement in form.
West Ham are looking to reach the fifth round for the first time since 2022-23 but Burton are the leading scorers in the FA Cup this season with 14 goals.
Nuno Espírito Santo has urged his West Ham players to continue building momentum after winning four of their previous six games in all competitions.
He said: “Now we’re going to play in the FA Cup. This is what we’re focused on, and we’ll continue to take things day by day.
“We have to bounce back [after Manchester United’s late equaliser on Tuesday night]. It was a tough one to take, but there were a lot of positives. I think we performed really well against a good team, and we showed we want to keep fighting. Now, we are focused on Burton.
“We’re going there to compete, we’re going to try to get through to the next round and we’ll take everything step by step. The FA Cup is a beautiful competition, and it’s a good opportunity for us because good performances and results always help.”
Burton are 21st in League One but manager Gary Bowyer has called on his players to rise to the occasion.
He said: “The FA Cup is about creating memories. I could sit here and tell you my memories of the Cup, but the challenge to the players is to go and create their own. They can create a memory by saying, ‘I played against West Ham’, but what we’ve said to them is, ‘go and make it a bit more than that’.”
