West Ham are counting the cost of their dramatic FA Cup victory over Liverpool.

Angelo Ogbonna’s stoppage time goal in the final moments of extra time sent the Hammers through to the fifth round of the FA Cup, where they face an away trip to Blackburn Rovers.

But the victory came a price.

Three players were injured in the fourth-round replay at Upton Park, which was settled by an Angelo Ogbonna header at the end of extra-time.

Cheikhou Kouyate caused real concern for his team-mates when he was knocked out following a clash of heads in the second half.

The midfielder was able to walk off after treatment but spent the night in hospital and will now be monitored for six days, after which he will be assessed.

Winston Reid could be out for a month after damaging a hamstring and fellow defender Joey O’Brien, who made his first start of the season, came off injured after 82 minutes.
