West Ham United's return to form continued as they beat Chelsea 2-1 in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.
The
Hammers took the lead after just 11 minutes as Cheikhou Kouyate headed
home from the edge of the box after a centre from Mark Noble.
And
the second came three minutes after the interval as Edimilson Fernandes
picked the ball up 20 yards out and arrowed a fine effort into the
corner past Asmir Begovic.
Chelsea, who rested many of their top
names, made changes in a bid to get back into the game but the Hammers
prevailed despite Gary Cahill's consolation in the final moments.
Southampton will also be in the hat for the quarterfinals, with the draw made later on Wednesday, after winning 1-0 at home to Sunderland.
Sofiane
Boufal scored the only goal of the game in the 66th minute, when he
produced an outstanding shot from the edge of the box and found the top
corner of the net.
In the the final game of the night sees Juan Mata scored the only goal as Manchester United see off Manchester City 1-0.
