Daily Mail | January 8, 2018

Joe Hart admits West Ham are lucky to still be in the FA Cup after surviving a scare at former club Shrewsbury.

The goalkeeper - who needed to borrow a hat from travelling fans to deal with the low sun - kept Mat Sadler and Shaun Whalley out to secure a 0-0 third-round draw on Sunday.

The Hammers were second best for long spells with Hart coming into the side after being on the bench for the last four games, having not played in the Premier League since November.
