Derby vs West Ham LIVE: FA Cup result and final score after Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen goals
Derby County 0-2 West Ham: A trip to Old Trafford awaits after the Hammers booked their place in the fifth round
West Ham booked a fifth-round FA Cup tie at boss David Moyes’ former club Manchester United with a comfortable 2-0 win at Derby.
Jarrod Bowen’s third goal in two games gave the Hammers a first-half lead and Michail Antonio headed home their second five minutes after break.
The Londoners made it back-to-back wins after beating Everton 2-0 to climb out of the Premier League’s bottom three nine days go and rarely needed to hit top gear as they halted League One side Derby’s 19-game unbeaten run.
Follow all the reaction from the FA Cup fourth round clash and tonight’s fifth round draw:
Derby 0-2 West Ham
59 mins: Penalty shout! Derby win themselves a corner and send the ball into the middle of the box. Curtis Davies and Ben Johnson both go for the ball with Davies winning it.
Johnson then collides with the defender and knocks him down sending the Derby players up in arms wanting a penalty that doesn’t come.
Derby 0-2 West Ham
56 mins: Nathaniel Mendez-Laing carries the ball down the right wing for Derby before knocking it back to Korey Smith. He slides it inside to Max Bird who fancies a shot from range.
Bird smokes it over to the far top corner but gets it slightly wrong and the effort sails wide.
Derby 0-2 West Ham
53 mins: It’s a long way back for Derby County now. As the game goes on they’ll get increasingly more tired which will play into West Ham’s hands.
The Rams need to score quickly to put a bit of pressure on their Premier League opponents who look in total control now.
GOAL! Derby 0-2 West Ham (Antonio, 50’)⚽️
50 mins: West Ham fling a throw in into the middle of the pitch where Pablo Fornals is wide open. He threads a lovely ball up to Jarrod Bowen who sweeps into the right side of the box.
Bowen’s cross hits Craig Forsyth and loops over to the back post where Michail Antonio nods it home with no effort at all. West Ham double their lead!
Derby 0-1 West Ham
48 mins: That’s a positive sign for Derby. Jason Knight receives the ball on the front edge of the penalty area and drills a low effort towards goal.
As has been Derby’s problem all night though the ball scuttles wide of the target.
Second half: Derby 0-1 West Ham
No changes from either manager at the break. Derby get the match restarted and know they need to score to, at the very least, force a replay. Two goals for the home side will take them through as it stands.
The ball comes over to Barkhuizen on the left wing and the Rams win themselves a throw in.

Will West Ham face Man Utd again?
If they see this match out it will set up a fifth round away tie at Old Trafford. That would be the third successive season were those two sides have met in a cup at Man Utd’s home ground.
Scott McTominay scored an extra-time winner in a 1-0 victory for Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup two seasons ago, before West Ham got a bit of revenge with a 1-0 win in the third round of the Carabao Cup a year later.
HT Derby 0-1 West Ham
Jarrod Bowen’s prodded effort from close range sees him collect another goal for West Ham this season. He’s the club’s leading goalscorer this year and has put them within reach for the fifth round.
Can the Irons go on to win this one?
Half-time: Derby 0-1 West Ham
45+1 mins: There goes the whistle for half-time. This has been a spirited performance from Derby County but they took too long to grow into the match and allowed West Ham to edge in front after just 10 minutes.
Take nothing away from the Hammers though who scored a lovely team goal thanks to Tomas Soucek, Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen.
In truth Derby have missed a clinical edge in front of goal as they’re consistently getting into some dangerous areas. West Ham will hope to score again to kill off the home side’s resistance.
The next goal could be an important factor in this one.
Derby 0-1 West Ham
42 mins: Close! If Derby score it would not be a surprise at all. They’re really giving it a good go. Nathaniel Mendez-Laing receives the ball on the right wing and fancies himself against Emerson.
He drives at the defender and shifts the ball to the byline before cutting into the box. Derby have men waiting in the middle and the ball gets pulled back but Ogbonna is well positioned and once again clears the danger.
