It promises to be a wonderful weekend of FA Cup football with a number of fascinating fourth round ties.

West Ham broke the hearts of Kidderminster Harriers as they overcame the non-league side 2-1 thanks to last-gasp goals in normal and extra time. Defender Alex Penny put Kidderminster, who are third in the National League North, ahead in the 19th minute in front of a packed crowd at the 6,000-capacity Aggborough Stadium. Substitute Declan Rice spared West Ham a first-ever defeat by non-league opposition by equalising in the 91st minute. The match looked set to be decided on a penalty shootout after a largely uneventful extra period but Jarrod Bowen delivered another cruel twist when he bundled the ball home in the 120th minute to send West Ham into the fifth round.

Meanwhile Chelsea suffered an FA Cup fourth-round scare on Saturday when they had to come from behind and needed extra time and a penalty save to beat League One Plymouth Argyle 2-1 with goals from Spaniards Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso.

And there are several 3pm kick-offs: Crystal Palace vs Hartlepool; Everton vs Brentford; Huddersfield vs Barnsley; Man City vs Fulham; Peterborough vs QPR; Southampton vs Coventry; Stoke vs Wigan; Wolves vs Norwich.

FA Cup fourth round: Late drama in the early kick offs

Drama! Lots of drama in the early kick offs.

Plymouth Argyle missed a penalty late on to send Chelsea through after with a 2-1 victory. At Aggborough Stadium, West Ham scored twice in stoppage time, first to equalise in the 91st minute and then to win the game in the 121st minute.

Chelsea and West Ham make it through to the next round.

GOAL! Kidderminster 1 - 2 West Ham (Bowen, 121’)⚽️

120+1 mins: Heartbreak for Kidderminster! In added time of extra-time, Jarrod Bowen wins it for West Ham! Andriy Yarmolenko cuts in from the right and hits a left-footed shot. There’s a deflection that knocks it down to Aaron Cresswell on the opposite side of the box. He squares it across to Bowen who taps in home with seconds to spare!

SAVED! Kepa denies Hardie

ET Chelsea 2 - 1 Plymouth

117 mins: What a chance for Plymouth to equalise. Ryan Hardie takes the spot kick, drills it low but Kepa leaps across and keeps it out!

Penalty to Plymouth!

ET Chelsea 2 - 1 Plymouth

115 mins: Scenes at Stamford Bridge as Malang Sarr hacks down Ryan Hardie in the box.

Michael Jones5 February 2022 14:59

ET Kidderminster 1 - 1 West Ham

114 mins: We’re six minutes away from a penalty shootout at Aggborough Stadium, six minutes away from a Chelsea victory at Stamford Bridge and six minutes away from eight more games kicking off at 3pm.

Oh the joys of the FA Cup. Kidderminster are holding on against West Ham. The pressure is nowhere near as intense as is was during the last five minutes of the 90. Kurt Zouma is struggling out there but the Hammers have used all their substitutions.

ET Kidderminster 1 - 1 West Ham

112 mins: Kurt Zouma has jarred his knee as rolled over the top of the ball and got his right leg stuck in the turf. The medical staff come on and give him a check up. He doesn’t look in great shape as he limps down the touchline but he’s going to play on.

ET Kidderminster 1 - 1 West Ham

110 mins: Disallowed goal! Benrahma brings the ball into the box and slides a pass up to Yarmolenko. He squares it across goal on the spin and finds Bowen at the back post for a tap in.

West Ham think they’ve won it but the offside flag goes up and the replays show Yarmolenko was inches offside.

ET Chelsea 2 - 1 Plymouth

109 mins: Plymouth are pushing forward now, they win a corner but Romelu Lukaku makes no mistakes at the near post and heads it away. Chelsea are closing in on a comeback victory.

Michael Jones5 February 2022 14:49

ET Second half: Kidderminster 1 - 1 West Ham

106 mins: The last 15 minutes of the game are underway at Aggborough stadium. Will we see a penalty shootout?
