Non-League Kidderminster Harriers produced yet another brilliant FA Cup performance as they have taken Premier League West Ham into extra-time in the 4th round of the competition.
No doubt inspired by another upset on Friday night as Middlesbrough knocked out Manchester United on penalties at Old Trafford, the Harries took an early lead as a set-piece scramble was capitalised on by Alex Penny to fire the non-League outfit into the lead.
A moment Kidderminster fans will never forget ✨
Alex Penny, take a bow ?#KIDWHU #bbcfacup #bbcfootball

For West Ham, Champions League hopefuls and in the final 32 of the Europa League, it was an embarrassment. Increasingly forced to rely on senior players with every substitution, it was left to Declan Rice to snatch a late equaliser, and force extra time.
West Ham fans not happy
And, amid the dross of West Ham, one attacker, in particular, was singled out by the fanbase as not good enough, even against sixth-tier Kidderminster Harriers.
The man in question? Andriy Yarmolenko, the Ukrainian wizard who has flattered to deceive during his time in east London, but was particularly poor on Saturday afternoon.
And the West Ham faithful were quick to let him know about it on social media, as can be seen below,
Yarmolenko awful footballer

That is comical from Yarmolenko. A dive like that against a National League North side, the shame of it

Yarmolenko is an embarrassment to the game and to the club. No idea what he does in training but not fit to wear the shirt in my opinion.

This has been a disgusting display of arrogance and complete ineptitude.
