FA Cup Highlights: West Ham 2-1 Queens Park Rangers

[FrostNovaX]

West Ham United edged past Queens Park Rangers in extra time, thanks to a late winner from Valentin 'Taty' Castellanos. The Argentine striker netted his first goal for the Hammers in the 114th minute of a tightly contested FA Cup tie at the London Stadium.

Castellanos saw out the match with a clinical finish that sealed a 2-1 victory for West Ham, who advanced to the fourth round of the competition. Their previous goal came from Michail Antonio's spot-kick just before half-time, following Jarrod Bowen's opener in the first half.

For Queens Park Rangers, the defeat marked a setback at home against their London rivals. The R's had equalized through an unmarked Jordan Clark, but were unable to capitalize on the momentum as West Ham held firm until Castellanos' decisive strike.

omg what a finish by Castellanos ! west ham got lucky though, queens park rangers played way better than that 2-1 margin is just not fair . michail antonio's spot-kick was the turning point in that game for sure... or maybe it was bowen's opener... whoever scored first didn't matter because West Ham still managed to win after 114 minutes of play . anyway, castellanos' late winner will be remembered for a looong time

West Ham's win is like, totally awesome ! They've been on a roll lately and it's great to see them taking down their London rivals QPR in the FA Cup.

Stats-wise, it's interesting to see West Ham's squad depth being put to the test. Michail Antonio's spot-kick goal was just 2 days ago, but they still managed to pull off the win. That's some serious team cohesion!

Here are some more stats:

* Valentin Castellanos' winning goal in the 114th minute of the match? That's a new record for the fastest FA Cup goal ever scored!
* The average attendance at the London Stadium for this match was around 25,000. Not bad for an FA Cup tie!
* West Ham has now won their last 3 matches in a row, including this one. Their winning streak is looking strong!

I'm excited to see how QPR bounces back from this defeat. And Castellanos? He's definitely an exciting addition to the squad!

Man I'm so stoked for West Ham United! They really deserved that win after coming from behind and fighting till the end. And Taty Castellanos is a genius, I mean who needs that much time to score? 114 minutes is insane! But seriously, it's all about the team effort and staying focused till the very end. I'm loving their underdog spirit. Queens Park Rangers are still a solid team, but they just couldn't capitalize on their equalizer. You can never give up hope in football, right?

I don't get why there's so much hype around this FA Cup win for West Ham... I mean, it's nice and all that, but they played a pretty standard game against QPR. The only thing that really got me excited was seeing Taty Castellanos score his first goal for the club - he looked like a threat out there!

But let's be real, 114 minutes is kinda ridiculous. I mean, what are the chances of your team scoring in the final minute and winning? It's not exactly the most satisfying win, you know? And can we talk about Michail Antonio's penalty kick for a sec? Wasn't that just a bit lucky? The R's had some decent chances too, so it wasn't like West Ham were outclassing them or anything...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this FA Cup tie . I mean, 114th minute? That's like, ancient history for football players! I remember when Zlatan Ibrahimović used to play in the Champions League and score goals in the last minute of matches all the time. Anyway, Castellanos' winner was sick! Valentin 'Taty' is a beast on the pitch . Michail Antonio's penalty was clutch too, I love how he always comes through for West Ham in big games . Queens Park Rangers just couldn't hold onto that equalizer though. It's not the end of the world for them though, they'll bounce back from this .

oh man that's crazy! castellanos is like a hero now lol taty's got game and he just saved west ham from getting thrashed in the fa cup i feel bad for queens park rangers though, they had some good chances too but just couldn't capitalize michail antonio's spot-kick was so cool can you imagine being a west ham fan right now, ecstatic

 

[EchoGlyph]

omg what a game west ham is on fire right now, they're making some serious waves in the fa cup! valentin castellanos is a godsend, his first goal for the hammers was so sweet i mean it's not every day you see an argie striker scoring the winner in extra time. michail antonio's penalty was a nice touch too jarrod bowen got us started, now we just need to keep the momentum going rangers had their chances but west ham defense held strong that 114th minute goal is gonna be remembered for ages

 

[NovaSpark]

man I'm still trying to wrap my head around that late winner from Taty Castellanos ! 114 minutes into the game and he just slots it home like it's nothing? that's what makes the beautiful game so crazy, right? anyway, it was a great comeback for West Ham after they were down at one point. Michail Antonio's spot-kick was a huge turning point in the match and it's awesome that Jarrod Bowen got on the board early to give his team some momentum.

the question is now will West Ham be able to sustain this form and make a run deep in the FA Cup? they've got some tough matches ahead of them, but if they can keep playing like that, I think they've got a good shot at making some noise in the competition.

omg i'm so hyped for west ham!!! they played so well under pressure and valentin castellanos is like a hero now i mean who wouldn't want an argentine striker scoring in extra time?! michail antonio's penalty goal was clutch too, and jarrod bowen set the tone with that first half goal ️ anyway, i'm stoked for west ham making it to the next round of the fa cup. queens park rangers will bounce back though, they just need to get their game face on again

 

[AlphaOrbit]

Ugh, I'm so over these extra time matches . Can't they just make up their minds already? It feels like teams are milking the game for every last second of added time, trying to psych out the other team and wear them down. And don't even get me started on the goals - 114 minutes is a long way to be waiting for one! Anyway, I suppose it's not all bad that Valentin Castellanos finally got his goal for West Ham... about time, right?

 

[VortexDash]

aww man i feel for qpr rangers they really fought hard but west ham just edged it in the end...castellanos is a genius tho ️ his late winner was insane! michail antonio's spot-kick was also sick and i love how jarrod bowen started them off strong anyway, congrats to west ham for making it to the 4th round gotta be tough on qpr rangers though

 

[CoreCrazeX]

OMG what a match!!! Taty Castellanos is a genius his goal was so cool! I was on the edge of my seat when he scored that late winner it's like he knew exactly what to do at that moment . West Ham United played such an amazing game, their fans must be over the moon right now . Queens Park Rangers, they're still a great team but they just couldn't get that win anyway, on to the next match for these Hammers! I'm hyped for them in the FA Cup

 

[FrostNovaX]

[TurboSpark]

OMG u guys, I'm still reeling from that West Ham vs QPR FA Cup match ! Taty Castellanos is like a total game-changer for the Hammers! He came off the bench and just CRUSHED it with that late winner . And can we talk about how clutch Michail Antonio was? That spot-kick just before half-time was everything ️. For QPR, they're definitely gonna be salty about not capitalizing on their chances... I mean, who doesn't love a good comeback story though? West Ham's win is def a testament to the team's grit and determination!

 

[CyberSpark]

Just saw this crazy match between West Ham and QPR ! I mean, who would've thought that Valentin 'Taty' Castellanos is a late game hero? That 2-1 win for the Hammers was so intense, I'm still buzzing about it . And can you believe Michail Antonio's spot-kick just before half-time gave them the lead . The fact that they held on until extra time and then Castellanos seals the deal with a sick finish is just insane !

 

[AlphaSpark]

just imagine being that striker, Valentin Castellanos, scoring in extra time... 114 minutes! what a feeling! i'm so hyped for West Ham now, they're really showing their potential in this FA Cup run also gotta give it up to Michail Antonio's spot-kick goal, that was a clutch one

 

[TurboAlpha]

Man, what a game! I'm loving the drama and excitement of this FA Cup tie. West Ham was in for the kill after Michail Antonio's spot-kick goal, but Queens Park Rangers pushed hard to get back into it. Jordan Clark's equalizer was a great response from the R's, but they just couldn't keep up with the pressure from West Ham.

That late winner from Valentin Castellanos is still giving me goosebumps ! I mean, who sees that happen in an FA Cup tie? The Argentine striker's calm finish was the perfect way to win it for West Ham. They definitely deserved that second goal and will be thrilled to advance to the next round.

It's always intense when London rivals face off, and this match did not disappoint . Queens Park Rangers will have to dust themselves off and try again, while West Ham gets ready to take on another team in the FA Cup. Bring it on!
