Marko Arnautovic's quickfire double rescued West Ham from another defeat by bogey side Brighton.
The Hammers were staring at a fourth loss in four meetings with Brighton since they were promoted after goals from Dale Stephens and Shane Duffy put the visitors in charge.
But two goals in two minutes from Austrian forward Arnautovic lifted the hoodoo as West Ham snatched a 2-2 draw.
All the goals came in the space of 12 second-half minutes of a contest which came to life after Brighton struck from two corners. Re-live the action below:

Prediction
West Ham 3-1 Brighton: Brighton are a very different side away from home and have struggled when visiting teams. West Ham were poor against Burnley but with that loss aside, they’re still on good form. I’m confident they’ll respond and I think they’ll win this one.
GOAL! Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United (Marcus Rashford, 80 minutes)
Game over.
Romelu Lukaku moves down the right and draws the Newcastle defence to him, squaring for Alexis Sanchez in space on the edge of the box.
The whole defensive unit is shifted towards Lukaku, and Sanchez draws the two defenders on the other side to him, leaving Marcus Rashford completely free on the left.
Rashford is found simply by Sanchez, takes a touch and slots past Martin Dubravka.
A hard-earned point for Southampton. A disappointing draw for Chelsea. 0-0.
From 2-0 down, West Ham secure a point thanks to two goals from Marko Arnautovic. West Ham 2-2 Brighton.

A crucial three points for Burnley, with goals from striking duo Chris Wood and Ashley Barnes turning things around after Steve Mounie gave Huddersfield the lead, Christopher Schindler's red card proving costly for David Wagner's side. 2-1.
Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 87 minutes
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will make his final alteration, with Jesse Lingard stripped and ready.
Marcus Rashford pulls himself wide out to the left touchline to leave himself as long a walk as possible off the pitch as he is replaced.
Bournemouth 3-3 Watford, 85 minutes
After six goals in the first half, surprisingly there has been no goal action in the second 45 minutes at the Vitality.
Troy Deeney does have the ball in the net after heading home from Tom Cleverley's cross, but Deeney has fouled Nathan Ake and the goal will not count.
Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 minutes
Six minutes for Manchester United to see out what would be just their third clean sheet of the season.
Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 + 3 minutes
A cross into the box bounces around a number of Newcastle and Manchester United players, but the hosts aren't able to make telling contact to get a shot away.
Manchester United then break, and Paul Pogba is able to charge free and round Martin Dubravka. His touch makes the angle tight and he can only bend the ball into the side netting.
