West Ham’s hopes of progressing in the FA Cup were dashed as they succumbed to a 1-0 loss against Bristol City, a Championship team, in a third round replay. Despite being reduced to ten men, West Ham couldn’t overturn the deficit and were ultimately eliminated from the competition.

Bristol City’s Scottish striker, Tommy Conway, was the hero of the night as he celebrated scoring his team’s first goal in the English FA Cup third round replay against West Ham United at the Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol. The Championship side caused a major upset by defeating Premier League outfit West Ham 1-0, resulting in their exit from the prestigious tournament.

Conway, who had previously scored the equalizer in the initial fixture, wasted no time in making his mark on the game, finding the back of the net just three minutes into the match.

Despite a slow start, West Ham gradually grew into the game and had several golden opportunities to level the scoreline, with Maxwel Cornet and Danny Ings coming close.

However, the turning point came early in the second half when Said Benrahama displayed a lack of discipline, receiving a straight red card after a foul on Joe Williams. Reduced to ten men, West Ham struggled to regain control of the game and failed to find a way back into contention, ultimately leading to their elimination from the FA Cup.

Looking ahead, Bristol City’s next challenge in the fourth round will be against either Nottingham Forest or Blackpool, who are set to face each other in a replay on Wednesday. The Championship side will be hoping to continue their impressive cup run and secure a spot in the next stage of the competition.
