Christian Benteke has not had a good night against West Ham.

Liverpool’s second most expensive signing of all time put in quite a shift against West Ham in Tuesday night’s FA Cup replay, but once again missed a host of chances of chances to give his side the lead.

With the game heading for penalties, the big Belgian had three excellent chances to put his side 2-1 up in the first period of extra-time, but missed them all.

The worst miss of all came after he had been put through one-on-one against Darren Randolph in the home side’s goal from Daniel Sturridge’s pass, but once again Benteke failed to convert a gift of an opportunity.

The Reds were made to pay when Angelo Ogbonna scored in the final minute of extra-time to send the London side through to face Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round.
