We were a bit of a mess early on, and West Ham's goal had a feeling of inevitability about it, but we responded well, kept the ball and limited their chances after that. The equaliser was deserved after some good chances went begging. Early second half we were on top but couldn't make it count, and then when it started to look like West Ham were turning the screw again, good substitutions got us sorted. Varela's late chance took a deflection and should have been a corner, but with Brunt on his typical set-piece form, I doubt it would have made much of a difference.
One of those either team could have nicked with a bit more luck, but 1-1 was fair in the end. I'm sure I heard some boos from the West Ham fans after the whistle, too; no pleasing some folks, it seems!
