Leeds United vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Elland Road
West Ham United brought an end to a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats as they battled to a 2-2 draw at Leeds United on Wednesday.
The writing looked to be on the wall for the visitors after teenage forward Wilfried Gnonto gave Leeds the lead in the 27th minute, but David Moyes’s side responded well and deservedly levelled just before halftime through a Lucas Paqueta penalty.
With supporters still taking their seats for the second half, Gianluca Scamacca stunned Elland Road with a second for West Ham 44 seconds after the restart to complete the turnaround.
Leeds toiled as the rain came down, but a thunderbolt out of the blue from Rodrigo restored parity once more with 20 minutes to go.
Both sides had chances to win it but had to settle for a point apiece, with West Ham remaining 17th in the table, level on 15 points with Everton in the relegation zone, while Leeds are two points clear of the bottom three in 14th.

WIDE! Rice latches onto a deflected cross from Paqueta and launches a volley first-time at goal, only to slice his attempt well wide of the target. He should have done so much better there.

Rodrigo mistimes his run and scuffs his strike at goal from Gnonto's layoff. Not the best moment for the forward.

Coufal swings a dangerous cross into the box from the right flank, but Aguerd fails to connect with his header in the middle. Paqueta then sees his strike charged down by a wall of white shirts. The flag goes up late for offside against Aguerd, much to the relief of the defender, who spurned his free header.
