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.

Moreno allows Aguerd to overcommit as he leaps for a long ball and bursts in behind the defender. He fails to break into the box, but finds Ayling on the charge down the right. Ayling hangs a cross to the back post that just goes out of play before Gnonto can keep it alive.

BLOCK! Leeds attempt a clever move from the free-kick as three players run off the ball before Roca floats a cross for Rodrigo to attack on the volley. He scuffs his strike, but it deflects off Coufal and goes behind for a corner.

Kehrer is asleep at the back as he allows Ayling to win the ball on the byline. Roca takes over and lifts a cross into the box that Fabianski drops under pressure from Summerville. West Ham clear the danger as far as Aaronson, who is fouled by Paqueta.
