Fulham vs West Ham United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Fulham 1-1 West Ham: There was late drama as Danny Ings rescued a point for the visitors
A late Danny Ings goal snatched an unlikely 1-1 draw for West Ham United at Fulham in their Premier League derby at Craven Cottage.
Fulham went ahead in the 24th minute, with Raul Jimenez getting on the end of a pass from Emile Smith Rowe to find the net from close range and give the home side a fully deserved lead.
West Ham barely threatened in the opening half, and looked like coming away empty handed before substitute Ings struck late in added time to stun the home side.
Fulham are unbeaten in their last three league games while West Ham bounced back from their 3-1 loss to Manchester City before the international break.

It has been a rather average start for both Fulham and West Ham so far in this new Premier League season. The pair go into this weekend 12th and 13th, respectively, with one win each to their credit thus far. Fulham are coming off a 1-1 draw with promoted side Ipswich Town before the international break. The Cottagers did win their only home league game thus far, a 2-1 success over another promoted team, Leicester. For West Ham, they fell 3-1 at home to last season's champions Manchester City at home. Fittingly, the Irons' only league success this campaign came on the road - a 2-0 success at Crystal Palace, another London derby at that.
