West Ham rejected an approach from Marseille for Said Benrahma ahead of this replay. After his act of pure petulance en route to this FA Cup exit, David Moyes may wish to reconsider that ‘not for sale’ stance if the French return.
Championship Bristol City had a plan to rough up the Premier League visitors. That much was evident at Ashton Gate. But when Joe Williams flew into Benrahma, the Algerian winger responded with a kick into his opponent’s nether regions. Not even VAR was needed to know it was worthy of red, as Moyes blanked Benrahma while he disappeared down the tunnel.
