If there's a surefire cure for a lack of playing time, it's cup competition. Just ask Jonathan Spector.In November, the American utility man returned from the furthest end of West Ham's bench to notch a brace during the Hammers' 4-0 upset of Manchester United in the English League Cup quarterfinals.
Saturday, Spector accomplished a similar feat, making his first start since Dec. 18 and scoring the winning goal as West Ham defeated Barnsley, 2-0, in the FA Cup third round. The three goals have been the only tallies of Spector's professional career.
The 24-year-old's strike highlighted a fruitful weekend for Americans in FA Cup play.
