Leeds beat West Ham in shoot-out to reach semisAFP, LONDONLeeds United on Sunday reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 39 years as they survived a dramatic penalty shoot-out after squandering a two-goal lead in a thrilling clash with West Ham United. Perri saved Jarrod Bowen’s opening effort for West Ham and also denied Pablo as Leeds won 4-2 on penalties. Their win over West Ham was a welcome lift in the midst of a Premier League relegation battle for both clubs.
