West Ham midfielder Ward-Prowse happy FA Cup hopes still alive

West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse admitted relief after their FA Cup draw with Bristol City.

Ward-Prowse says the players are happy to still be alive in the tournament.

Of course both teams would have preferred to settle it in one, but that's the way it goes," he told whufc.com. We're still in the competition and have the chance to go through, but we're disappointed with the way we played today.

I think we started the game really well, penned them in and showed our quality early on, but after that we seemed to drop our standards overall and they deservedly got back in the game.

Overall it's a disappointing result. We'd have liked to do it today but we've got to go again now.

The positive is we still have the chance to go through to the next round and still a chance to win silverware.

That's the main thing and If it takes another game to do it, then so be it. Hopefully it will be worth it in the end."
