The Villans got back on the scoresheet in the 45th minute with a shot from Lewis-Potter from inside the box, but just when things were looking very difficult for them, they received an unexpected gift when Mee received a red card in the 71st minute was sent off and opened it.
Moreno leveled the game in the 77th minute with a close-range header from a cross from Bailey, and Watkins also sealed the upset by scoring against his former club in the 85th minute and sending Emery’s 10-man side into the left the final minutes after Kamaras was sent off by hitting an opponent.
West Ham responded with three to… five
