AFC Wimbledon 4-2 West Ham: Superb Dons dump abject Hammers out of FA Cup
Wally Downes rekindled the Crazy Gang spirit of old as AFC Wimbledon secured a famous FA Cup victory over West Ham, winning 4-2 at Kingsmeadow.The League One Dons outfought and outplayed their Premier League opponents and were 3-0 up with 46 minutes on the clock thanks to Kwesi Appiah’s deflected opener and two strikes from Scott Wagstaff either side of half-time.2

Wimbledon celebrate their fourth goal against West Ham

Manuel Pellegrini’s men pulled two back from Lucas Perez and Felipe Anderson to set up a nervous finale.But the tie was sealed when substitute Toby Sibbick scored late on to secure the win 21 years on from when Downes won the competition as a player with the ‘Crazy Gang’ in 1988.It is not as if the Hammers had not been warned. They had conceded a goal in the opening two minutes when they won here in the Carabao Cup earlier this season.And Wimbledon, playing their first FA Cup fourth-round tie since their reformation in 2002,had West Ham rattled in the opening stages as Terrell Tomas blazed an excellent chance over the crossbar from 10 yards out.Then Mitch Pinnock’s cross-shot from a free-kick forced an unconvincing punch clear from Hammers goalkeeper Adrian, who also did well to hold a header from Pinnock at his near post.Appiah, back in the team for the first time since he scored the last-minute winner against Fleetwood in round three, struck the deserved opener 11 minutes before half-time.Worse was to come seven minutes later,Pedro Obiang allowing Wagstaff to rob him on the halfway line and race through.The former Charlton midfielder still had plenty to do but kept his composure to beat the onrushing Adrian and give the minnows a 2-0 half-time lead.2

Scott Wagstaff was Wimbledons two goal hero

A clearly unimpressed Pellegrini made a triple substitition at half-time, turning to Ryan Fredericks, Lucas and record signing Anderson.But 41 seconds later his side unthinkably found themselves three goals down,Appiah crossing for Wagstaff to poke home from 12 yards out.Perez pulled one back in the 57th minute, sweeping the ball home after a goalmouth scramble, and when Anderson curled in a delightful free-kick with 20 minutes remaining alarm bells began to ring for the hosts.Wimbledon’sTennai Watson was possibly too honest by continuing his run after he was clipped by Arthur Masuaku in the area, whereas had he gone down a penalty could have put the game to bed.However, Sibbick brought the house down with an 88th-minute header to seal a memorable victory and compound West Ham’s embarrassment.
