West Ham fans were heard booing one of their own players in their FA Cup quarter-final on Sunday vs Leeds United.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side came into the tie as the favourites, with just two defeats in their last nine games and home advantage.

Despite a flurry of chances in the opening exchanges, Leeds never really had to get out of third gear to charge into a 2-0 lead.

Ao Tanaka opened the scoring in the first-half after he worked space wonderfly in the West Ham box, before seeing his effort deflected over the helpless Alphonse Areola.

The London club continued to bang on the door, but a poor challenge from Max Kilman handed Dominic Calvert-Lewin the chance to double the lead from the spot.

However, two goals in stoppage time from Manuel Fernandes and Axel Disasi sent the tie into stoppage time, however, one player was not forgiven.

Max Kilman booed by home supporters

Following the penalty, Kilman was booed and jeered by his own supporters for his performance, which divided fans on social media.

One fan wrote: "Kilman being booed when on the ball, he's sh**, but if that's what West Ham is now, the fans deserve relegation just as much as the board and team."

Another added: "I don't even blame Kilman,I actually feel sorry for him."

A third commented: "Whatever happens from this point I don’t think Max Kilman should ever play for West Ham again."

"I hope it’s not the case, but I thought I heard the crowd boo Kilman when he got the ball twice in the last action. That would be poor from us regardless of his performance," another wrote.

The tie has now gone to extra time...
