Curbs happy with replay

Despite believing his Hammers side edged the game they will have to settle for a replay at the City of Manchester stadium on the 16^th of January.

Curbs said, "It was tough, Manchester City have come here on the back of a fantastic result and in top form so we knew it was going to be difficult.

"Both teams gave it their very best efforts and it wasn't to be. Neither side created that chance to finish it off.

"Their keeper probably made more saves and we had a couple of chances. It was probably going to be a 1-0.

"My players gave me everything they have got and I think everybody connected with the club know they gave it their best effort and they will continue to do that.

"I think we probably shaded it in terms of chances, but we go back to Manchester."
