West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna was left beaming following his last-gasp winner against Liverpool in Tuesday’s FA Cup fourth-round replay.
Philippe Coutinho’s superb free-kick cancelled out Michail Antonio’s first-half opener at Upton Park, which sent the contest into extra-time.
With the game seemingly set to be decided via a penalty shoot-out, Ogbonna rose highest to meet Dimitri Payet’s cross in the 121st minute and head past Simon Mignolet for a dramatic winner.
West Ham will now face Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round of the competition, but Ogbonna insisted his team-mates are remaining grounded.
“It was my first goal for West Ham and in front of our supporters, so I am really happy for my teammates, for everybody. I really enjoyed it.”
