Brave Burton Pushes West Ham to the Limit in FA Cup Thriller

Burton Albion narrowly missed upsetting West Ham in the FA Cup, losing 1-0 after extra time. Despite their relegation struggles, Burton challenged their Premier League opponents at the Pirelli Stadium. West Ham's substitute, Crysencio Summerville, scored the winning goal, and Freddie Potts' red card added late tension.

Brave Burton Albion gave Premier League side West Ham a scare before succumbing to a 1-0 defeat in extra time during the FA Cup clash on Saturday.

Despite Burton's battle against relegation in the third tier of English soccer, they matched their top-flight opponent's performance, nearly orchestrating an upset reminiscent of minor-league Macclesfield's win over titleholder Crystal Palace in the third round. However, it was West Ham that found a breakthrough in the fourth-round match held at the Pirelli Stadium, thanks to substitute Crysencio Summerville's goal in the 95th minute.

West Ham, also struggling with relegation fears this season, breathed a sigh of relief at the final whistle. The tension intensified with a red card for Freddie Potts six minutes following Summerville's goal, creating a nerve-wracking end to the fixture.
