Leeds United keeper Lucas Perri was their shootout hero as they edged hosts West Ham United 4-2 on penalties on Sunday to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1987 after surrendering a commanding 2-0 lead in a dramatic finale, Reuters reported.
West Ham scored twice within four minutes in second-half stoppage time to wipe out Leeds' comfortable advantage before the contest finished 2-2 after extra time and went to penalties.
West Ham's 20-year-old debutant Finlay Herrick, who came off the bench in the final moments to replace the injured Alphonse Areola, initially gave his side hope by saving the opening spot-kick from Joel Piroe.
