Non-league Kidderminster Harriers delivered one of the moments of the FA Cup, taking a 20th-minute lead against Premier League side West Ham United.

The visitors named a strong side for their trip to Aggborough as they sought to avoid an upset, including a number of full internationals, but defender Alex Penny shocked David Moyes’ side to put the National League North team in front.

Penny capitalised on confusion in the West Ham box, with goalkeeper Alphonse Areola and centre-back Kurt Zouma failing to deal with a set-piece, and the Harriers right-back was the calmest man in the stadium as he slotted into an unguarded net.

Kidderminster had already pulled off one of the biggest shocks of the competition in the third round when they came from behind to beat second-tier Reading through goals from Sam Austin and Amari Morgan-Smith.

The non-league side have played West Ham in the competition before, narrowly losing to the London outfit in the 1993-94 competition.
