West Ham fell to defeat in the FA Cup as Bristol City won their third round replay.

Beset by injuries, David Moyes saw his rotated side well-beaten as Ashton Gate on a costly couple of weeks for the club.

Here's how David Moyes's side rated at Ashton Gate...

Lukasz Fabianski 5

Sold short by Mavropanos for opener, for all he could have been more decisive.

Kurt Zouma 5

Gestured furiously at those around him but did not exude calm himself.

Konstantinos Mavropanos 4

Terrible backpass gifted City their opener. Strong in the challenge but often a liability in possession .

Aaron Cresswell 5

Increasingly involved in second-half flashpoint during what became a fiery clash.

Vladimir Coufal 4

Not at the races and given a testing time by the tricky Mehmeti.

Tomas Soucek 5

Came close to leveller with sharp volley meeting Cornet's cross but otherwise ineffective in midfield two.

James Ward-Prowse 6

By some margin the most composed of West Ham's offensive players.

Emerson 6

The likeliest source of chances in the first-half, made one each for Cornet and Ings.

Maxwel Cornet 5

Overhit simple pass to put Ings in, then missed awkward opportunity from close range. Did make Soucek chance late on.

Danny Ings 3

Looks so sluggish. Showed lack of sharpness when taking a touch rather than hitting Emerson cross first time. Ironic cheers from visiting fans when replaced.

Said Benrahma 2

Started despite transfer interest from Marseille, sent-off for clear kick out at Williams. May well have played his last West Ham game.

Substitutes

Ben Johnson (Coufal 66') 5

Tried to bring a bit of drive down the right.

Callum Marshall (Cresswell 80') N/A

On for his senior debut in thankless circumstances.

Unused: Areola, Anang, Ogbonna, Casey, Scarles.
