Parfitt-Williams saw his effort hit the inside of the post and roll across the face of goal on 44 minutes.
It is still 0-0 on the night but West Ham hold on to that slender one-nil lead on aggregate
Double substitution for West Ham on 67 minutes . Diangana and Parfitt-Williams are replaced by Stephen Hendrie and Alex Pike
77 minutes Martin Samuelsen is put through on goal only to have his progress halted by an offside flag. Looked very harsh at West Ham
ATTENDANCE: A crowd of 3,886 at the KC tonight (inc 231 in support of West Ham U21’s)
90 minutes has been played and it remains 0-0 on the night but the Hammers remain one-nil lead up on aggregate
Just three minutes added time until the full whistle goes unless Hull can find a goal!
Drama as Hull City U21’s score late in injury time to make it 1-1 on aggregate. The youngsters were seconds away from a victory.
Will Annan with the Hull Goal.
30 minutes of extra time then penalties if required will settle the U21 Premier League Cup
101 minutes Jamal Hector-Ingram replaces Declan Rice
105 minutes It remains 1-1 on aggregate at the half-time stage of extra. 15 more minutes then it will be settled on penalties
120 minutes that’s it extra time is complete without finding a winner so it is a penalty shoot out
Marcus Browne, Reece Oxford, Sam Byram all scored their penalties.
West Ham win the penalty shoot up 5-3 with Martin Samuelson scoring the final penalty

Well done lads, just proves the academy does exist after the slug ignored it for 3 years
Well done lads. Well done terry Westley. How many of the experts were slagging off Westley earlier in the season saying he wasn’t up to the job.
Yep you are right Slaven,some had decided they didnt like him before the season had barely even started.Just another example of our knowledgeable wise men & fan experts being wrong again,lol 🙂
