West Ham failing Reece Oxford test after seating mix up for EFL Cup clash leaves his family unimpressed

West Ham's hopes of keeping unsettled teenage prodigy Reece Oxford will not have been helped by his mother’s unhappiness at how she was treated at the London Stadium this week.

Youmna and another Oxford family member had two complimentary tickets for Wednesday’s EFL Cup match against Accrington Stanley — for which Reece was a substitute — and they expected to be in a friends and family area. Instead they found to their horror they were sitting next to the away supporters.

When Youmna complained, she was moved to the disabled section before finally ending up in the hospitality area where she found other players’ families were already watching the match.
