Championship Bristol City deservedly drew against West Ham at the London Stadium to force a replay of the FA Cup Third Round.
The Hammers wasted little time in taking on their Championship opponents and opened the scoring within four minutes.
Jarrod Bowen continued his hot form and scored his 14th goal of the campaign after rounding goalkeeper Max O’Leary and sliding the ball under the body of defender Cameron Pring on the line.
But Bristol City, who boast the fourth-best defensive record in the Championship, refused to let that early setback determine the way the game would unfold, showing bravery on the ball and unity in defence to find a foothold in the tie.
Sam Bell and Rob Dickie had chances to equalise but Lukasz Fabianski stood firm both times to keep West Ham’s lead intact.
The Robins came back into the second period with a purpose, playing most of their football in West Ham’s half of the pitch and their willingness to commit to attack paid dividends when academy graduate Tommy Conway found space behind the Hammers back line before drilling past Fabianski.
There were very few clear chances for the visitors after the equaliser, but they had to hold on in the closing stages as Danny Ings and Divin Mubama went close.
The FA Cup third round replay between Bristol City and West Ham United will be shown live on the BBC.
The match will be broadcast live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app on Tuesday 16 January.
