The 17-year-old winger’s goal was the only one of the game which saw him lift his side to an eventual 1-0 win over Blackburn Rovers.
Corbett was a half-time substitute for that victory, replacing Robbie Savage’s son Charlie.
The youngster could now be in contention to be a part of the squad for the FA Youth Cup fifth round clash with Leeds United, on Wednesday.
He scored four goals in 11 Under-18’s Premier League appearances for West Ham this season and also scored a goal in the EFL trophy against Newport’s first team.
