West Ham United will face fellow Premier League outfit Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup following a 2-0 victory over Derby County at Pride Park.
After losing only one of their previous 13 FA Cup matches played on a Monday, West Ham should have been ahead after nine minutes, only for Jarrod Bowen to take on the shot himself instead of playing in strike-partner Michail Antonio, who had found himself in acres of space in the area.
However, Bowen redeemed himself less than 60 seconds later, as the England international culminated an exquisite Hammers team move with a clinical strike from close-range to give his side the lead.
