What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

"Nigel Spink had superbly kept out Liam Brady's early spot-kick."

West Ham overcame a third minute missed penalty to beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Upton Park.

Paul Ince, who scored twice in their memorable 4-1 defeat of Liverpool in an earlier round, fired the Hammers ahead with a 15th minute 20-yarder to restore confidence after Nigel Spink had superbly kept out Liam Brady's early spot-kick.

David Kelly made it 2-0 five minutes from time, with David Platt hitting back for Villa three minutes later.
