 Scott Parker sent the game into extra time for West Ham
|
Victor Obinna booked West Ham's place in the Carling Cup quarter-finals as the Hammers scored twice in extra time to see off Stoke at Upton Park.
Obinna's 118th minute strike settled it, after Manuel Da Costa's 96th-minute goal had put the Hammers 2-1 in front.
Scott Parker sent the game into extra-time when he launched himself at Pablo Barrera's 84th-minute cross.
Kenwyne Jones headed Stoke into the lead after six minutes when he got on the end of Jermaine Pennant's corner.
Stoke opened the scoring early on and they then continued to carve through the West Ham backline with almost embarrassing ease.
West Ham did finally settle with both Barrera and Carlton Cole looking lively, but the hosts always looked vulnerable at the back.
West Ham might have been level at the interval, but for a hopeless air shot from the rusty Benni McCarthy.

606: DEBATE

The South African, making his first start in seven months, completely missed his kick from Cole's cutback.
West Ham looked far from likely winners at the halfway stage after a hapless first-half display, but Avram Grant's three second-half substitutions swung the match back in the home side's favour.
West Ham could have levelled in the 54th minute when Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic flapped at Barrera's corner and James Tomkins put a diving header just wide.
The impressive Obinna then replaced Radoslav Kovac after 64 minutes, and Valon Behrami came on for Luis Boa Morte eight minutes later.
But it was the introduction of Mark Noble, who came on for the ineffective Benni McCarthy after 72 minutes, that really changed the game.
Noble gave captain Parker some much-needed support in midfield and the two combined well to win the battle for possession in the middle of the pitch.
West Ham pushed forward in search of an equaliser and peppered the Stoke City goal with crosses as the Upton Park faithful roared on their approval.
West Ham's fans then thought they should have had a penalty when Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross tangled with Julien Faubert in the box, but referee Howard Webb decided the English defender had timed his tackle well.
But the fans' anger was soon assuaged as the inspirational Parker nodded home Barrera's inswinging cross from close range and sent the game into extra time.
Noble was the architect of West Ham's revival and the midfielder waltzed past a static Stoke defence six minutes into extra-time before crossing for Da Costa to sweep home from seven yards.
Noble then put Obinna through with a magnificent slide rule pass to wrap up the win with two minutes remaining.
