Jonny Evans scored headed a stoppage-time equaliser to earn West Brom a 2-2 draw in a lively mid-table Premier League scrap with West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday.

West Brom took an early lead when Nacer Chadli punished slack home defending to fire home, but West Ham improved and Sofiane Feghouli equalised just past the hour, tapping in after Manuel Lanzini's curling shot was tipped against the crossbar by West Brom keeper Ben Foster.

West Ham went ahead in the 87th minute when Lanzini was rewarded for an impressive display by firing home a fiercely-struck shot after a pass from Feghouli, but Evans headed home at the death for a draw.
