Football

Leeds United defeated West Ham United to secure their first FA Cup semi-final appearance in 39 years following a victory at home.

Leeds United men's team reached the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1987 after a victory against West Ham United. The win at Elland Road ended a 39-year wait for the club to return to this stage of the competition, according to Sky Sports. Manager Daniel Farke stated that the team had written history but remained eager to progress further.

The result means Leeds United will travel to Wembley Stadium later this month. Supporters celebrated the achievement after several decades of absence from the final rounds of the tournament. West Ham United exited the competition following the defeat, per reports from The Guardian.

Leeds United last appeared in an FA Cup semi-final during the 1986-87 season when they lost to Coventry City. The club now awaits the draw to determine their upcoming opponents. This progression marks a significant milestone for the side in their current domestic campaign, as noted by independent match reports.
