A 90th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot saw West Ham United U23s held to a 2-2 draw by Stoke City U23s at London Stadium on Monday night.
The Hammers remain unbeaten with 13 wins and 4 draws this season.
The stalemate helped Dmitri Halajko’s Premier League 2 side extend their lead at the top of the Premier League 2 Division 2 to three points, albeit having played a game more than promotion rivals Manchester United U23s.
Xande Silva who suffered from an obstructed bowel last summer scored for the Hammers in the first half before Gabriel Kyeremetang found a leveller for the visitors midway through the second half.
West Ham were back in front minutes later through Sean Adarkwa’s calm finish and looked set to claim all three points as time waned, but with just a minute left of regulation time, the Potters’ had the chance to clamber back into it when the referee pointed to the spot, Ryan Corrigan putting it past Anang in the West Ham to ensure a share of the spoils.
