Player of the Match - Danny Ings
A brilliantly executed free kick on the edge of the box from Ings saw the Hammers bring a goal back, sparking the late comeback and equaliser. An impact off the bench is what Ings has been hoping to do for many months now, and he may just be getting his chance in Lopetegui's system.
