West Ham left it late against Leicester City to steal a point in the race for the Premier League top four.
Albit most sides in the pursuit are stuttering their way towards the European elite, this was undoubtedly an opportunity missed for the Hammers.
However, despite taking an early lead through a sublime Jarrod Bowen goal, David Moyes’ side failed to capitalise on their advantage and were second best for the most part.

Bowen was by far and away the pick of the bunch on an all too familiar off-day for the Irons in recent weeks.
The 25-year-old early a 7.90 Sofascore rating for a display containing a goal and an assist as well as 15 accurate passes, one tackle and 40 touches.
Micah Richards even described the forward as ‘impeccable’ in the aftermath of the opening goal.
Here’s how we rated the others…
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
XI: Lukasz Fabianski 6; Vladimir Coufal 5, Craig Dawson 6, Issa Diop 6, Aaron Cresswell 4; Declan Rice 6, Tomas Soucek, Jarrod Bowen 8, Pablo Fornals 5, Manuel Lanzini 6; Michail Antonio 5.
Subs: Ryan Fredericks 6, Nikola Vlasic 5, Said Benrahma 6.
Despite showing superb early season form this was another poor display from Fornals in particular as the Spaniard remained a peripheral figure for the majority of the match.
In truth, a few players could be looking over their shoulders and Moyes may have a number of big decisions to make ahead of hosting Newcastle United next weekend.
