(FA Cup third round replay) Second division team Bristol City continued to cause many difficulties for West Ham in the rematch.
West Ham could not defeat Bristol City at home. And in the replay on the opponent’s field, “Sledgehammer” had to taste bitter fruit. Right in the 3rd minute, Mavropanos passed back without observation, allowing Conway to cross past goalkeeper Fabianski and easily put the ball into the empty goal.
Conceding early, West Ham pressed forward to attack in search of an equalizer and created many opportunities. However, the strikers of “Sledgehammer” lack accuracy in finishing.
West Ham even had to play with 10 people on the field from the 54th minute when Benrahma received a red card after unsportsmanlike retaliation. In the remaining time, coach David Moyes’s students were powerless to find an equalizer. With this defeat, “Sledgehammer” was officially eliminated from this season’s FA Cup.
