That was how the match remained at half-time, before West Ham hit back just after the break.

Mohammed Kudus found the net from Bowen’s low cross – he is now has the most Prem assists of any player in the club’s history on 36.

Bowen then made it 37 as his curling cross was met by the diving Tomas Soucek, who found the bottom corner with his header.

That looked like being the winner until Karou Mitoma struck in the 89th minute to rescue a late point for the home side.

There was yet more drama at the Amex as Carlos Baleba unleashed a curler from distance that nestled in the top corner.
