West Ham United have been knocked out of the Carabao Cup after suffering a shock 4-0 defeat to League One side Oxford United.

The Hammers were dire as Oxford run riot at Kassam Stadium.

Manuel Pellegrini made eight changes to the team that beat Manchester United last Sunday and was punished accordingly.

Second-half goals from Elliott Moore, Matty Taylor, Tariqe Fosu and Shandon Baptiste gave the U's a deserved victory.

Speaking after the game, Pellegrini said: "We played against a team who played very well.

"It's easy to say that we played very badly, but I think Oxford did everything they needed to win this game here at home for them.

"They played with a lot of motivation, with desire and we didn't play well.

"If you give them time and space all of them are good players. They scored four goals, they had other chances and I think we only created one in the first ten minutes of the game and one in the last minute.

"In the second half we lost all the moments [which decided the match].

"If you want to continue playing in all competitions you have to use your whole squad, and we played with [experienced] players. I repeat, Oxford made it tough and after that [we perhaps showed a] lack of belief that these games are always very difficult for the teams who are in the better league.

"Of course for the fans who came to Wimbledon, and to Oxford today, it's not the best way to answer them. Football is like this, unfortunately it was a very bad night for some players and we'll try to recover in our next game in the Premier League."
