West Ham v Liverpool player ratings: Bowen 8, Antonio 7; Quansah 5, Diaz 7

Hammers fight back to draw 2-2 at the London Stadium

Alphonse Areola 6/10

West Ham ratings. Might have done better with equaliser given he got a big hand to it, unlucky for the own goal and then made solid saves from Mac Allister and Diaz. Reuters

Vladimir Coufal 6/10

Pretty much everything came down Liverpool's left and he was given a tough afternoon by Diaz, in particular. Made exceptional clearance on the cover late on as he denied Nunez an easy finish. Reuters

Kurt Zouma 6/10

Blocked and cleared with determination as Liverpool came on strong after the break. AP

Angelo Ogbonna 5/10

Saved by the linesman's flag as he looked to have given away a penalty in the first half. Got the main deflection that resulted in the visitors going 2-1 up. Reuters

Emerson Palmieri 6/10

Tested Alisson with rasping strike midway through the second half. Couple of important late headed clearances. PA

Tomas Soucek 6/10

Strong in the first half but tired as game went on. Reuters

Edson Alvarez 6/10

Looked to play with the ball at his feet and got through plenty of defensive work. Butchered late chance to play in Kudus. AFP

Lucas Paqueta 6/10

First big involvement was a nasty tackle on Mac Allister he was lucky to get away with. Not as influential as he can be. AP

Jarrod Bowen 8/10

Even if quiet at times he so often has an impact on games, as he did here with a goal and an assist. EPA

Mohammed Kudus 7/10

Gave West Ham energy and quality on their left flank and crossed for Bowen's opener. AFP

Michail Antonio 7/10

Not in the game at all apart from almost cleaning out Klopp on the touchline, but when his chance came he headed home with authority. Getty Images

James Ward-Prowse 6/10

West Ham subs. Ward-Prowse (on for Soucek, 74'): Helped his side's comeback and delivered some good set-pieces. Reuters

Alisson 6/10

Liverpool ratings. Made some good saves, especially from Bowen. Reuters

Trent Alexander-Arnold 6/10

Given freedom to roam around and some of his switches of play helped his side get in down the left. Faded as game went on and was replaced. PA

Virgil van Dijk 6/10

Solid individual display. Could be seen ranting at teammates. Reuters

Jarell Quansah 5/10

Looked comfortable until a stray pass in the prelude to West Ham taking the lead. Then given the slip as Antonio headed home. AP

Andrew Robertson 7/10

A threat down the left and got his reward with equalising goal. Showed leadership to get his team going after the break. AP

Wataru Endo 5/10

Too many errant passes. Booked and subbed. EPA

Ryan Gravenberch 7/10

Instrumental in Liverpool's strong start to the second half. Getty Images

Alexis Mac Allister 7/10

Always a threat when deployed further forward. Shook off early knock and kept trying to create. AP

Harvey Elliott 6/10

Should have done better with early chance he fired wide at the near post. Hit the bar with late effort from range. Reuters

Cody Gakpo 6/10

Mixed afternoon as he lost Bowen for West Ham's opener but caused home defence problems and forced own goal. AFP

Luis Diaz 7/10

Involved in the good moments his side produced in a quiet first half, including hitting the post. Found Robertson for the equaliser. Getty Images

Mohamed Salah 6

Liverpool subs. Salah (on for Diaz, 79'): Argued with Klopp as he entered the pitch. One terrific surging run; Gomez (on for Alexander-Arnold, 79'): 6; Nunez (on for Endo, 79'): 6. Getty Images

West Ham dealt another blow to Liverpool's slim Premier League title chances on Saturday in the lunchtime kick off, coming back to earn a 2-2 draw at the London Stadium.

Jarrod Bowen headed the home team in front in the closing minutes of a drab first half but Andy Robertson squeezed in a volley to level after the break.

A bizarre Alphonse Areola own goal 20 minutes into the second period put the visitors in front, but Michail Antonio powered West Ham back on terms in the 77th minute with a thumping header.

The draw leaves Liverpool third in the table on 75 points, one behind defending champions Manchester City, who have two games in hand.

Leaders Arsenal are two clear of Liverpool and have a game in hand. The Gunners face Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday, while City visit Nottingham Forest. If City win all their games they will retain their title.

Liverpool's woes were added to by a touchline spat between manager Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah, who could be seen remonstrating with his manager as he prepared to come on as a 79th minute substitute.

Klopp refused to discuss the incident, saying they had "spoken about it already in the dressing room".

The German added: "I'm not in the mood to talk about [the title race] to be honest or look at that at all. We had to win here, we knew that, and we didn't, and now we have a little bit more time between now and the next game. We try to get the boys ready again and we will go again."

West Ham manager David Moyes was pleased by his side's effort.

"I would have liked more than a point, we've drawn a lot and today is another. It is a good point and to be 2-1 down and take a battering, we did great to keep going."
