West Ham United lost to Southampton 1: 3 in the FA Cup final and finish in the competition. The match was not completed by Tomáš Souček, who suffered a bloody head injury during a duel with Diall and had to sew. At the end of the match, the Czech midfielder appeared with a sewn eyebrow on the Hammers bench. On the other hand, Chelsea, who defeated Luton 3: 2, and Liverpool, which defeated Norwich 2: 1, fulfilled the role of the favorite on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old Souček, who decided in the last league duel to win 1-0 over Wolverhampton, could also open the score against Southampton. His shot in the 10th minute flew out. The ninth team of the English Southampton League took the lead after half an hour of play thanks to Perraud. It was the French defender’s first shot since his arrival in Brest.
Souček suffered a bloody head injury at the beginning of the second half after a fight with Dial and had to leave the field in the 54th minute. Benrahma took his place.
Although West Ham settled six minutes later, when Antonio prevailed, the London team still failed to win the duel. In the 68th minute, Southampton got the advantage of a penalty kick after Dawson’s intervention and returned it to the “Saints” lead Ward-Prowse. In the end, he insured the progress of the locals of Broj.
Chelsea collected on the pitch of the second-league Luton after only a minute and 42 seconds, when Burke prevailed. The London team has not scored faster this season. The “Blues” leveled in the 27th minute after a hit by Saúl, who scored the first goal for Chelsea since arriving from Atlética Madrid. Until the break, Luton gained the advantage, but again, for which he scored five minutes before the end of Cornick’s first half.
