The two forwards helped to fire the Hammers into the sixth round of the FA Cup in an entertaining game that saw both sides have men sent off.

Emmanuel Emenike and Dmitri Payet both scored twice as West Ham beat Blackburn Rovers 5-1 to seal a place in the sixth round of the FA Cup.

Blackburn had failed to beat West Ham in the last 11 meetings but an upset looked as though it could be on the cards when Ben Marshall steered in from outside the area to give the home team the lead.
