US EditionWest Ham Need Extra Time to Beat Burton as Fans Protest Against Owners
Crysencio Summerville scored the winning goal in the 95th minute as West Ham overcame a strong League One Burton side despite a late red card and fan protests.

- Late efforts by Burton, including a side-netting chance at the death, offered hope as their resilience was tested against West Ham's recent form of three wins from five.
