West Ham boss David Moyes was happy to see off Kidderminster in their FA Cup clash.
They needed a wonderful stoppage time goal from Declan Rice to take the tie to extra-time, before Jarrod Bowen struck right at the end of the additional 30 minutes to secure a 2-1 win.
Moyes said, "It was difficult, not our best, but we're thankful that we're through to the next round.
"We kept going and got a little bit better at times and created one or two more chances but it looked as though it wasn't going to be our day.
"In truth I think Kidderminster deserved the opportunity to take it to penalty kicks.
"We lost a poor first goal, which gave them a lift up and meant we had to chase things a bit more.
"We found a lot of things difficult today – but we never use it as an excuse because all the players would be used to it.
"Nearly all the team we had playing today had been the players playing in the European games, so I saw it as not a big problem that they were coming here to play in the cup tie.
"We needed somebody special.
"Declan is special and he made the difference, because we couldn't make the difference with what we had. It was a great goal."
