West Ham reach FA Cup quarters after Ouattara’s penalty howler

LONDON: West Ham moved into the FA Cup quarter-finals with a 5-3 penalty shoot-out against Brentford, who paid the price for Dango Ouattara’s spot-kick blunder on Monday. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side twice blew the lead as Jarrod Bowen’s double was canceled out by an Igor Thiago brace to force extra-time at the London Stadium. But in the shoot-out, Brentford winger Ouattara attempted a chipped ‘Panenka’ penalty, but his woeful effort was straight at West Ham keeper Alphonse Areola. It was a awful mistake by the Burkina Faso international and West Ham made him pay.
