West Ham snatch draw at Millwall

A late rally from the visitors denies Millwall a home win.

Millwall looked set for victory with goals from C. Taylor and C. Neghli, the latter arriving in stoppage time before half-time. However, West Ham fought back after the break with strikes from M. Kanté and K. Mavropanos to secure a 2-2 draw. This result defied Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a Millwall win, turning what seemed a home triumph into a shared spoils scenario.
