# West Ham United: Fans delighted with Ademipo Odubeko’s response to FA Cup defeat

**Many West Ham fans were pleased with the response from youngster Adempio Odubeku following their side’s [1-0](https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/3510590/matchfacts/manchester-united-vs-west-ham-united) defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup.**

The game was decided by an extra-time goal from the Red Devils’ midfielder Scott McTominay, in what was a gutsy display from David Moyes’ side.

One of the game’s talking points was the introduction of Odubeko, an 18-year-old Irish centre-forward who replaced Andriy Yarmolenko in the 54th minute, before he was later replaced by Manuel Lanzini with eight minutes to play of extra-time.

Odubeko was hard on himself when [speaking about the match](https://twitter.com/mipoodubeko/status/1359559016511373313) on Wednesday evening, suggesting that his brief cameo taught him a lot and understands he needs to “step up.”

Because of this, supporters admired his level-headed approach and positive attitude about improving, swamping his social media with uplifting comments regarding his future.
