West Ham United manager David Moyes blasted his side's defending following their 3-1 defeat to Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, insisting they "blew" their chance to progress in the competition.
Despite taking a 54th-minute lead through versatile attacker Said Benrahma, the Hammers gave United a helping hand in their quest to get back into the contest when defender Nayef Aguerd, under pressure from Wout Weghorst, headed into his own net from a Bruno Fernandes corner with 77 minutes on the clock.
That looked as though it would be enough to send the contest to an additional 30 minutes and the prospect of a penalty shootout. However, Alejandro Garnacho bent home a sumptuous 90th-minute curler to turn the game on its head and put United 2-1 in front, ahead of substitute Fred adding a third deep into stoppage time.
