The FA Cup quarter-final between West Ham United and Leeds United saw a stark contrast in stoppage time compared to Manchester City's 4-0 victory over Liverpool. While Craig Pawson added 11 minutes to the London Stadium match, Michael Oliver allocated no additional time for the Etihad Stadium game. This discrepancy sparked debate, with fans questioning why Oliver ignored standard protocols despite multiple stoppages, including three minutes for treatment, two for substitutions, and one for a VAR check.

The 11-minute extension allowed West Ham to mount a comeback, forcing extra time and a penalty shootout, which Leeds won 4-2.
