LONDON (Interstat) — West Ham United and Leeds United played to a dramatic 2-2 draw in the FA Cup on Sunday, April 5, 2026, at London Stadium. The result defied pre-match projections that heavily favored the home side.

Leeds substitute Ao Tanaka opened the scoring in the 26th minute. The game erupted in stoppage time when West Ham’s Mateus Fernandes equalized in the 93rd minute, only for Leeds defender Axel Disasi to answer three minutes later for a 2-1 lead. West Ham substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin then secured the final draw with a last-gasp goal.

The frantic finish included five yellow cards. The draw leaves both clubs with identical records in the competition and across all fixtures this season.
