West Ham Into Sixth Round After Confident Win At Blackburn

“It felt like we were playing at home to be honest”.

– Sergio Aguero has scored 15 goals in his last 16 Champions League starts.

Palace defeated Tottenham 1-0, and West Ham came from behind to thrash second-tier Blackburn 5-1.

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini had threatened to sacrifice the FA Cup by making multiple changes, even saying in midweek he would not buy a ticket if he was City fan.

But Shearer questioned Pellegrini’s judgement, insisting it undermined City’s desire to be regarded as one of the biggest clubs in the world. “I’m disgusted”, Brunt told BBC Sport.

Hazard then marked his impressive display with a goal, whipping a free kick low past Caballero in the 67th before substitute Bertrand Traore scored with a header in the 89th.

Look at some of the players who played in their position for West Ham, look at how they moved the ball about and maybe learn something from that.

It could have been a heavier defeat for City, but Caballero saved a 75th minute penalty from Oscar.

You could see a gulf in class. As a player you’ve got to take the best out of it, how do the Rovers players now better themselves?

But Chelsea‘s win was marred by some of their fans throwing coins onto the pitch as visitors City celebrated Faupala’s equaliser.

Rovers midfielder Ben Marshall broke the deadlock early on, but the Hammers struck back through Victor Moses before playmaker Dimitri Payet and new signing Emmanuel Emenike both helped themselves to braces.

And it was West Ham who fashioned the opening chance of the game on three minutes when Payet’s inswinging free-kick was cleared into the path of Moses but his effort was deflected wide of the Blackburn goal.

Kone says the break has benefited the first team squad as they prepare for their final ever trip to Upton Park on Saturday lunchtime, with West Ham moving into the former Olympic Stadium in the summer.

While the Leicester duo have led an unlikely title bid, Collins is hoping Payet takes West Ham to Wembley.

Kouyate was sent off with 15 minutes remaining at Ewood Park after he was deemed to have denied Adam Henley a goalscoring opportunity.
