West Ham squeezed through to the 4th round of this year's FA Cup by the narrowest of margins thanks to a senior debut goal for central defender Reece Burke.
With the match just minutes away from requiring a penalty shootout in order to separate the two teams, the 21-year-old fired home via the underside of the crossbar to finally break the League One club's determined resistance.
