West Ham held to draw as Tommy Conway equaliser earns Bristol City an FA Cup replay
David Moyes faces a trip back to his former club after West Ham were held to a 1-1 FA Cup draw by Bristol City.
The Hammers looked on course for a comfortable afternoon when Jarrod Bowen fired them into an early lead.
It proved to be anything but, however, after a second-half equaliser from Tommy Conway secured a replay for the rocking Robins.
West Ham’s squad would have been given a whole a week off had they won this third-round tie, but they will now be dragged back in on Friday as Moyes, who reached Wembley twice as a player with City, prepares for a return to Ashton Gate.
