Moyes regret
David Moyes says things didn’t go for his side in their cup dumping tonight.
The West Ham boss was quick to point out the exciting second half of the season his side have to look forward to though.
He told BBC: “Disappointed. Lots of things didn’t go for us tonight but overall disappointed.
“We had one or two opportunities, especially in the first half. Some good things but not enough to win the game.
“It is a blow because we would have liked to have been in the cup but we have Europe to look forward to in March and we are in a good position in the league, but we are disappointed to go out.”
‘Emotional time’
Rob Edwards said his side weren’t at their best as the saw off League One Bolton to reach the fourth round.
The Hatters are now set to head for some warm weather training and recovery after a tough opening half of the season in the top flight.
Edwards said, via the BBC: “I’m pleased we are through, tonight was about winning. We were not at our best, sloppy in too many moments and allowed them to build into the game.
“We know we have to be full tilt. This game we just dropped a bit, and you can’t do that. Bolton are a big club, but when we are favourites, we took our foot off the gas and Bolton could have punished us.
“We’re going away for some warm weather, getting training in and time together, down time together. Has been a tough season so far, everything with Locks as well, it has been an emotional time.”
Shock of the night
Only one real shock on the night and it came at Ashton Gate.
This was the match stats from the game, with the Hammers having plenty of possession but zero cutting edge in the final third.
Early start
That West Brom vs Wolves tie will kick off at 11:45am on Sunday, January 28.
An early start for all involved but that won’t dampen the atmosphere, I wouldn’t have thought.
Tonight’s results – confirmed
Five FA Cup 3rd round replays concluded tonight.
Here’s the final results now every tie has concluded.
- Birmingham 2 Hull 1
- Bristol City 1 West Ham 0
- Bolton 1 Luton 2
- Eastleigh 1 Newport 3
- Wolves 3 Brentford 2 (AET)
FULL TIME!
Hugo Bueno with a huge chance with the final kick of the game but he puts it wide.
Not that Wolves fans care, they’re through to the next round after extra time, beating Brentford thanks to an ET penalty.
They came from behind twice in normal time to get the extra 30 minutes.
They’ve set up a tremendous tie against Black Country rivals West Brom at the Hawthorns in the next round. Can’t wait for that!
Clinging on
Brentford chucking everything at Wolves for this equaliser.
Two dangerous crosses in quick succession not dealt with.
Collins – tonight’s pantomime villain – drags a shot wide from the edge of the area, much to the delight of the home fans.
THREE MINUTES ADDED
‘Massively proud’
Bristol City boss Liam Manning admits being proud of his players for keeping their emotions in check through a tough 90 minutes.
He told BBC: “Massively. I think it was another solid performance. We showed real resilience, a good connection and level of organisation. At times it was challenging and we had to keep our emotions in check and we did a terrific job at that.
“We don’t carry anybody – everybody attacks and everybody defends. You need everyone to turn up and do the basics as well and when called upon give that little bit extra.
“I actually think we can improve and get a little bit better.”
NO GOAL
VAR confirm the offside call.
Still 3-2 Wolves.
VAR CHECK!
Brentford have the ball in the net but the flag goes up.
Neal Maupay was also screaming for a penalty in the build-up.
There’ll be a check for this offside as Wolves are looking to cling on having been well on top in an attacking sense.

The Welsh side with a big day to look forward to when Manchester United – and the TV cameras – on January 28.
GOAL! Wolves 3 Brentford 2
The last kick of the first half of extra time and Wolves go in front!
Matheus Cunha converts after Max Kilman was clipped in the Bees’ penalty area.
Andy Madley pointed straight to the spot – with the check for a red card holding play up.
No red card but it was a penalty which Cunha slotted away comfortably!
PENALTY WOLVES!
Wolves have just dominated the extra time period and now have a chance to take the lead for the first time tonight.
Matheus Cunha to step up after a sustained period of time checking.
Lucky boy
The early challenge from Joe Williams on Danny Ings.
This was deemed not a foul, with Leon Osman saying the referee got this one right by waving play on.
Williams then played his part in getting Benrahma sent off later in the game, getting a yellow at that stage…
FULL TIME!
Unlike West Ham, Luton were able to avoid a shock result by coming from behind to beat Bolton.
Dion Charles had given the hosts the lead on 11 minutes but that was cancelled out quickly after by Chong’s goal three minutes later.
Ogbene put the Premier League side in front just before the hour mark and they managed to hold on to secure their spot in the next round.
Crystal Palace or Everton away is next up for Luton.
GOAL! Birmingham 2 Hull 1
Birmingham have won it at the death!
Koji Miyoshi with a 94th minute goal – set up by Stansfield who scored the opener – to send the fans that have turned up home happy.
A great turnaround for them, ending a seven game winless run.
They travel to Leicester in the next round.
WEST HAM ARE OUT!
David Moyes’ men crash out the FA Cup at the first hurdle after a 1-0 defeat at Bristol City.
Said Benrahma’s daft red card proving costly as the Hammers stuttered to defeat.
There was plenty of determination, hard work and fight on show and the hosts wanted it more.
Quality? Completely absent.
West Ham the only team not to score tonight, starting with a front three of Ings, Cornet and Benrahma….
Bristol City will host Nottingham Forest or Blackpool in round 4!
FULL TIME!
Manchester United will travel to NEWPORT COUNTY in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
They came through against National League side Eastleigh 3-1 tonight to set up the monster clash in the next round!
We’ll get their reaction to the huge tie shortly!
Added time
Bristol City and West Ham go into four minutes of added on time.
Are West Ham going to suffer the shock of the night here?
The home fans certainly think so!
Closing stages
There’s four ties nicely poised at this stage.
West Ham have a dangerous free kick after another Williams foul as they throw caution to the wind with attacking changes to get back level.
Bolton thought they’d equalised against Luton but the offside flag stopped celebrations short.
Birmingham and Hull are locked together and the game at the Molineux just about to start again for extra-time.
FULL-TIME! Wolves 2 Brentford 2
180 minutes of football and the Premier League pair remain locked together.
They’ll head for extra-time as this tie needs to finish tonight – one way or another.
GOAL! Eastleigh 1 Newport 3
And that looks like that could well be that.
Will Evans gives Newport a two-goal cushion at Eastleigh heading into the final ten minutes.
A date with Manchester United is drawing ever closer for the Newport boys and girls.
