West Ham United entertained Bristol City at the London Stadium earlier today as they looked to earn a good result in the FA Cup. The Hammers made a quick start to the game and scored the opening goal in the fourth minute when Jarrod Bowen found the back of the net. David Moyes’ men went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
