Impact Perri came up huge with two penalty saves in Sunday's shootout to punch Leeds United's ticket to the FA Cup semifinals for the first time in 39 years, diving left to deny Jarrod Bowen before stonewalling Pablo Felipe to lock in a 4-2 win on penalties after the match finished 2-2 following West Ham's wild stoppage-time comeback. He also delivered a strong low stop on Taty Castellanos in extra time to keep Leeds United alive, ending the day with four saves across 120 minutes and two more in the shootout. Perri has lost his starting spot to Karl Darlow in Premier League play, but Sunday's performance showed he can still step in and give the squad solid support when called upon.

Adama Traore - Assists late equalizer Traore provided one assist to go with six chances created in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout loss against Leeds United.

Impact Traore slipped the ball that sparked Mateus Fernandes' 93rd-minute equalizer, picking out Jarrod Bowen before the Englishman's shot cracked off the post and fell right into Fernandes' path as West Ham salvaged a 2-2 draw in stoppage time. He also whipped in a cross that had Taty Castellanos flying in for a finish that rattled the post in the second half, ending with one assist, a season-high six chances created and four completed dribbles over 119 minutes in a nonstop shift down the right flank. Traore is still more of a rotation piece for the Hammers, but he keeps bringing real danger to the front line whenever he gets the start, with 11 chances created over his last four starts.

Axel Disasi - Scores late equalizer in FA Cup Disasi scored one goal to go with seven clearances and two interceptions in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout loss against Leeds United.

Impact Disasi endured a roller-coaster afternoon at London Stadium, first turning Ao Tanaka's 26th-minute shot into his own net to put Leeds United in front, then making up for it with a powerful close-range finish in the 96th minute to cap West Ham's wild stoppage-time comeback and send the match to extra time. He closed with one goal, seven clearances and two interceptions in a bruising 120-minute shift at center-back, with West Ham also having two goals wiped away by VAR during extra time. Disasi has been a locked-in starter for West Ham under coach Nuno Espirito Santo and is starting to bring real danger on set pieces at a point when the Hammers need production from every corner of the squad in their relegation fight.

Impact Fernandes dragged West Ham back into the tie in the 93rd minute, crashing home the rebound after Jarrod Bowen's shot hit the post off an Adama Traore setup and slotting it in to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the first of two stoppage-time goals that sent the match to extra time. He ended his 120-minute shift with one goal, one shot and one chance created. Fernandes also made his presence felt on set pieces and with his defensive work in midfield, racking up a season-high 10 crosses and five tackles to cap off his performance.

Impact Calvert-Lewin checked in off the bench in the 69th minute and made an instant impact, scoring a penalty in the 75th minute after Max Kilman's reckless challenge on Brenden Aaronson was confirmed by VAR, giving Leeds a 2-0 lead that looked like it had punched their ticket to the semifinals before the late collapse forced a penalty shootout. The striker then stepped up with composure in the shootout and converted as Leeds claimed a 4-2 win on spot-kicks after West Ham had dramatically pulled level in stoppage time. Calvert-Lewin snapped a two-month scoring drought and will look to carry that momentum into Monday's clash against Manchester United.
