West Ham 2-1 QPR (AET): Taty Castellanos scores his first Hammers goal to end 10-game winless run with victory in FA Cup

West Ham End 10-Game Winless Run with Upset Victory Over QPR in FA Cup Third Round

A nail-biting encounter at Loftus Road saw West Ham clinch a thrilling 2-1 victory over Championship side Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in the FA Cup third round, ending their 10-game winless run. Argentine striker Taty Castellanos scored his first goal for the Hammers in extra time to seal the win.

The match was marked by defensive solidity from both teams, but QPR ultimately took the lead through Crysencio Summerville's impressive strike. However, West Ham rebounded strongly and equalized just before halftime when Summerville turned home a cross from Jimmy Dunne, setting the stage for Castellanos' decisive header in extra time.

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo was visibly relieved as his team finally broke their winless streak, praising his players for their "fighting spirit" and "desire." The victory is expected to be a turning point for the club, with goalsparks now feeling rejuvenated. Goals have been transformative for West Ham, according to Nuno, changing their fortunes and setting them up for improved performances in the coming weeks.

Captain Jarrod Bowen echoed this sentiment, saying that the team's performance had turned the season on its head. With a tough task ahead of them, West Ham will need Castellanos to continue his goal-scoring form if they are to secure more wins.

Mavropanos suffers neck injury

The match also saw center-back Konstantinos Mavropanos forced off with a nasty neck injury in the first half. The severity of the injury has not been confirmed, but Nuno expressed concern that the player may need several days to recover from the setback.

Ugh, I mean... can't believe West Ham finally broke their winless streak πŸ˜‚! 10 games is forever, right? But seriously, I guess it's good for them to have that FA Cup win to boost morale and whatnot πŸ™. And Castellanos' goal in extra time was a total game-changer – nice rebound from QPR on the equalizer πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ.

But let's be real, their defense has been pretty solid all season... like, who expected them to actually hold onto a lead? πŸ˜‚ Nuno and Bowen are being pretty optimistic about this win turning things around for them, but can we see it? They're still playing in the relegation zone πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Still, I guess every little bit counts, right? Maybe Castellanos' goal-scoring form will carry them through 🀞
 
man... 10 games without a win is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands πŸŸπŸ€Ήβ€β™‚οΈ you gotta keep trying, keep pushing, and sometimes, just when you think all hope is lost, you land that big one πŸŽ£πŸ˜… West Ham's win over QPR is proof that even when we feel like giving up, our perseverance can pay off in the end. Nuno's right, it's all about fighting spirit and desire πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯ gotta keep believing in ourselves and each other, no matter what! πŸ‘Š
 
Man, West Ham just gave us all a nice wake-up call! I mean, 10-game winless run is crazy, right? But they dug deep and came out on top against QPR in that nail-biter πŸ˜…. It's like their team motto or something - "fighting spirit" and all that jazz πŸ’ͺ. Nuno's right, goals have changed the game for them now. Castellanos, you're on πŸ”₯! Hopefully, he keeps scoring those goals and they'll keep racking up wins πŸ†. Fingers crossed Mavropanos' neck injury isn't too bad tho 🀞. Either way, it's been a thrilling match to watch! πŸ‘
 
man I feel like this is an awesome reminder that even when it seems like things are going nowhere, we've got the power to change our own narrative 🀯. West Ham was on a losing streak, but they didn't give up! They dug deep and found that spark of resilience to turn the game around ⚑️. It's all about attitude and heart, you know? Sometimes it takes one little thing – like a goal from Taty Castellanos 🀩 – to shift the momentum in our favor. We can learn a lot from this team about perseverance and believing in ourselves when things seem bleak 🌫️. Let's take that same energy and apply it to our own lives, shall we? πŸ’ͺ
 
Man, what a game! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time πŸ€―πŸ† West Ham's 10-game winless run is a disaster, but it looks like they've finally snapped out of it with this epic comeback against QPR. Taty Castellanos' winner in extra time was a total game-changer - I'm loving what he brings to the team so far! 🎯 The Hammers are definitely looking more confident now, and if they can keep up this momentum, we might just see them make a push for the top 4...or at least get some much-needed points in the league ⚽️. Can't wait to see how they respond to this win - Nuno's got his work cut out for him, but I've got faith in the squad πŸ’ͺ

Man, what a game! I was on the edge of my seat, my heart is still racing 🀯.

Taty Castellanos' goal was insane, I mean who scores a winner in extra time? 😲. And the team's morale boost is massive, Nuno said it now and I believe it too 🀝.

Now we'll see if this win can translate to the league, but with goalsparks like that, I'm feeling optimistic 🌟. Mavropanos' injury is a concern though, fingers crossed he's back soon πŸ‘. Either way, this win will give the team a confidence boost and who knows, maybe they'll start winning more games now πŸ”₯.
 
I mean, who needs a win streak when you can have 2 crazy goals by Taty Castellanos? Like, the dude's on fire! πŸš€πŸ’₯ And QPR is all like "oh no, our necks are hurt" πŸ€•πŸ˜‚ - literally. Mavropanos gets knocked out of the game and now West Ham's all worried 😬. But for real though, 10-game winless run? That's like me going to the gym for 10 days straight... ain't happening πŸ’ͺπŸΌπŸ‘Š
