West Ham 1-0 Oxford

West Ham   1 - 0   Oxford Utd

Parker's late strike finally broke Oxford's resistance

Scott Parker spared West Ham's blushes by scoring the winner deep into injury time to overcome League Two's Oxford in the Carling Cup second round.

The visitors forced keeper Marek Stech into good saves from James Constable and Asa Hall while Simon Heslop and Harry Worley went narrowly wide.

Parker came close 10 minutes from time while Carlton Cole had an effort ruled out for offside after 88 minutes.

As extra-time loomed, Parker converted Frederic Piquionne's cross.

The timing was harsh on the visitors who had been stubborn and organised throughout and at least deserved a crack at the Hammers in extra-time.

But while West Ham manager Avram Grant will be thankful to have avoided a cup giant-killing, this performance only laid bare the size of his task at Upton Park.

West Ham are point-less after two league games this season and they are struggling for fire power.

And the truth is that the result was tough on Oxford who, for long periods of this match, were as good as their top-flight opponents.

Piquionne might have put the Hammers in front in the first minute but his rasping 20-yard shot was neatly turned around the post for a corner by Oxford goalkeeper Ryan Clarke.

But it was the header he missed from six yards and when under no pressure with just the goalkeeper to beat which summed up West Ham's problems.

The first half was all huff and puff and no end product for the Hammers and it could have been worse for the hosts because Oxford had their chances.

Alfie Potter, who once scored for Havant and Waterlooville against Liverpool at Anfield in an FA Cup fourth round tie, was a scampering menace, firing in a 25-yard shot which stung the hands of Stech.

Constable and Hall, the latter with a blistering 30-yard drive, also brought sharp saves from the West Ham goalkeeper in the first half.

The second half was much of the same, West Ham driving forward but too often without conviction or creativity.

Oxford might have produced a heroic result if shots from Hall and Potter had been more precise. But as it was, they were stung by a late, late show from Parker.
