Graham Potter Watch: It was all change for the new West Ham manager's first match in charge, writes JAMES SHARPE - except for the result!

Graham Potter took to the dugout for the first time as West Ham manager on Friday evening but was unable to secure a win on his debut as his side were knocked out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa.

The hosts at Villa Park spent most of the match playing catch-up, after Lucas Paqueta opened the scoring in just nine minutes to the delight of the travelling fans.

But after toiling for the remainder of the first-half and much of the second, Unai Emery's side were able to draw themselves level via a sneakily-taken shot from Amadou Onana.
