West Ham United’s under-18s have booked their place into the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup after a convincing win over Sheffield United in Alfreton on Wednesday afternoon.
The Hammers were due to play the young Blades last week at Scarborough, but that match was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
In the rearranged tie, the first half was goalless, but the introduction of Callum Marshall at half-time in place of Ollie Scarles inspired victory for Kevin Keen’s, with Marshall opening the scoring early in the second half with a superb curled half-volley from the edge of the penalty area that crashed in off the inside of the post.
