One man tried to poach the prize of a young lad but ended up on the deck in front of a huge TV audience.

Another supporter grabbed the top as the would-be owner fell - and hopefully passed it on to the child.

The hilarious clip capped a brilliant night at Wembley as Slaven Bilic's side roared back from two goals down against their London rivals.

Croatian tactician Bilic cut a forlorn figure and co-owner David Sullivan looked miserable with the Hammers down at the break.

But Andre Ayew's double and an Angelo Ogbonna bullet header saw the visitors make the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

"We could not wait for the game to start and I would hope the Brighton game was a one-off.

"We have composure, players back from injury and this is the standard of play we expect.

"We wanted to put a strong team out tonight, it was an important game for us. A few players were left out but the ones who came in deserved a chance.

"The team, especially in these moments, is above every individual and we have to be humble.

"No matter who plays on Saturday, we should not have long noses and we have to fight for the team.

"I said I am calm and glad when we win in this way. You see the team is very alive and we are very stubborn in a positive way.

"There is no time and place to go large now. We have done a lot, but considering the season, we have done nothing."
