West Ham vs Leeds LIVE: FA Cup result, final score and reaction plus Tottenham and Liverpool scores
Follow all the reaction from the all-Premier League clash at the London Stadium, plus scores from the rest of the third round fixtures
Manuel Lanzini and Jarrod Bowen piled more FA Cup misery on Leeds as West Ham marched into the fourth round.
Lanzini’s first-half goal and Bowen’s late strike secured a 2-0 win for David Moyes’ side and condemned Leeds to a ninth third-round defeat in the last 12 seasons.
It is now five years since the Whites have won an FA Cup match, and they rarely looked like bucking that sorry trend in a one-sided London Stadium encounter.
West Ham 1 - 0 Leeds
64 mins: Antonio lays the ball off to Lanzini who carries it towards the box before leaving the ball to Vlasic. Johnson makes a run down the left and Vlasic works the ball across to him. Soucek arrives at the back post as Johnson chips the ball into the box but he gets his cross all wrong and scuffs it straight out of play.

59 mins: Chance! West Ham are the ones pushing for another goal. Vlasic makes a nice run to carry the ball into the left side of the box. He checks back to the right before knocking the ball back out to Rice. Rice is encouraged to shoot by the West Ham fans and does so. He runs onto the ball but leans back just as he strikes a right-footed effort and the shot continues to rise over the crossbar.

56 mins: Hjelde gets a little too close to Vlasic who falls to ground just outside Leeds’ box. The contact is minimal at best but West Ham are awarded a free kick. Raphinha is crouched down behind the wall to stop the low shot as Lanzini takes the set piece. He blasts it into the wall and the ball loops over to Meslier who calmly plucks it out of the air.

53 mins: Save! The ball comes up to Antonio who holds it up and draws in Llorente before spinning off the shoulder of the defender and driving towards the box. He threads the ball over to Bowen on the right side of the area and he takes a touch to set himself beofre drilling a low shot at goal that Meslier turns behind with an outstretched leg!

48 mins: Close! Michail Antonio is given the ball on the left wing and takes on Diego Llorente. The defender forces Antonio to shift the ball to the byline but leaves him too much room to pull it back into the box. Bowen is waiting but the ball narrowly evades him and Leeds run it clear.
