Leeds United secured a dramatic Wembley semi-final berth after a wild FA Cup quarter-final at West Ham. Trailing 2-0 late, Leeds clawed back twice only for both goals to be ruled offside. A tense extra-time period saw Leeds goalkeeper Finlay Herrick make a stunning debut save from Joel Piroe, while Lucas Perri denied Axel Disasi and Pablo. Pascal Struijk's penalty clinched a 4-2 shootout victory.

Manager Daniel Farke hailed the win as historic, rewarding fans who endured 39 years without a semi-final appearance. 'We have written history,' Farke stated, acknowledging the 'crazy' game and his team's resilience despite injuries and setbacks. The victory marks Leeds' first FA Cup semi-final since 1987 and sets up a clash with Premier League leaders Chelsea at Wembley on April 25th. 'Nobody expected us to go through,' Farke admitted, calling the achievement 'unrealistic' yet 'great step' for the club.
