West Ham youngster Nathan Holland was the hero for Oxford United last night, grabbing them a last-minute equaliser that took their FA Cup replay clash with Newcastle United into extra-time.
With the score at 2-1 and time running out, Holland scored a superb goal on the half-volley that gave the U’s some hope in the tie.

Allan Saint-Maximin would eventually score a winner for Newcastle in extra-time, but Oxford gave a hugely impressive account of themselves in the clash and were unlucky to be beaten on the night.
Holland is a West Ham youth prospect and joined Oxford on loan in January after appearing twice in the Premier League this season for the Hammers.
The winger had been in top form in Premier League 2 for West Ham, scoring 12 goals in 13 games in the reserve league.
Several West Ham fans took to Twitter to show their appreciation for Holland, with some of the best replies available to view below.
