Summary Brown Ideye maintained his resurgent form at West Bromwich Albion by scoring in either half
LONDON: (AP) - Nigeria striker Brown Ideye maintained his resurgent form at West Bromwich Albion by scoring in either half in the team s 4-0 win over West Ham in the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday.
Ideye almost left West Brom in January, six months into a difficult first season, but stayed at the Hawthorns and has now netted for three straight games under recently hired manager Tony Pulis.
Ideye put West Brom ahead in the 20th by turning in Craig Dawson s center, and made it 3-0 with a 57th-minute header from Stephane Sessegnon s cross.
James Morrison scored the second in the 42nd and Saido Berahino completed the rout in the 71st, just after Morgan Amalfitano was sent off for West Ham for pushing West Brom midfielder Chris Brunt in the face.
Second-tier Blackburn thrashed 10-man Stoke 4-1 at Ewood Park despite the Premier League team taking the lead through Peter Crouch after 10 minutes. Josh King scored a hat trick for Blackburn while Geoff Cameron got a straight red card just before halftime for fouling King in the area with Rudy Gestede converting the penalty.
Reading won at 10-man Derby 2-1.
Crystal Palace hosts Liverpool later Saturday.
