# West Ham fans react as Hammers youngster Holland scores against Newcastle in FA Cup

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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nathan-holland/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/337321/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) 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](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nathan-holland/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/337321/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in the reserve league.
