Ings scores stoppage time equaliser as West Ham frustrate Fulham

westham Utd striker, Danny Insg

Danny Ings scored in the 95th minute to rescue a point for West Ham against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Ings was introduced as a last throw of the dice by manager Julen Lopetegui in the 82nd minute as he saved the Hammers from a second consecutive defeat.

Captain Jarrod Bowen did brilliantly to find the striker in the box in the final minutes and Ings needed one touch to set himself before firing beyond keeper Bernd Leno.

Calvin Bassey thought he had won it for Fulham a minute later but he put his free header wide of the post.

Raul Jimenez gave Fulham the lead in the 24th minute with a composed first time finish from eight yards out.

Emile Smith Rowe proved influential once again with his run beyond the Hammers’ back line timed to perfection before putting the ball on a plate for Jimenez.

Fulham felt as though they should have been awarded a penalty before the deadlock was broken but referee Tim Robinson judged Max Kilman’s challenge on Adama Traore to be fair.

Lopetegui looked to his substitutes bench at half-time after his side failed to register a shot on goal in the opening period.

The arrival of Lucas Paqueta and Crysencio Summerville added some attacking intensity before the Hammers eventually found a way past Leno.

Bowen found space in the box but his bundled effort was met by the outstretched leg of Leno.
