Aston Villa struck twice in five second-half minutes to stun West Ham and advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win, denying Graham Potter victory in his first game in charge of the Hammers.

West Ham United's new manager Graham Potter has raved positively about Ghanaian midfielder Mohammed Kudus despite their defeat to Aston Villa in the FA Cup.

Richard: In some ways, a great Villa performance. Able to adjust tempo now, and clearly adapt to opposition. Ian Maatsen went well. Great to see Jacob Ramsey fit again, and really pleased for Robin Olsen, who often draws the short straw. Ollie grew into things too. Not sure a long cup run is needed, but who knows. Like the anniversary shirt too.
