Andoni Iraola’s team suffered a controversial VAR handball decision at the weekend when Dango Ouattara was denied a potential late winning goal in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle.

At the London Stadium, Bournemouth will also be wondering how they were eliminated from the competition.

The visitors had the best chance when Marcus Tavernier hit the post with an inward-turned free kick. He also forced a good save from Lukasz Fabianski, who also kept out Ouattara’s clever shot well when the ball was behind him.

The hosts struggled to get into the game in the first half hour and took 41 minutes to get a shot on goal. Niclas Fullkrug, playing in his first game for the Hammers since his £27million move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, headed the ball lamely at Neto.

The German striker also did a good job of setting up Crysencio Summerville, but the Dutchman, who was voted the Championship’s best player with Leeds last season, fired just wide.

As the penalty shootout loomed, Bowen’s shot was deflected off Neto, but the goalkeeper was beaten a few minutes later and the Hammers claimed the controversial victory.

The draw for the third round took place later on Wednesday, with West Ham having an away game at Liverpool in September.
