West Ham ended their five-match losing run with a deserved point in a 2-2 draw at Leeds.
Wilfried Gnonto rifled in the opener just before the half-hour for his first Leeds goal before Lucas Paqueta opened his account for West Ham with a VAR-awarded penalty moments before the break.
The Hammers were playing for the first time since the death of joint-chairman David Gold earlier on Wednesday, and a bouquet of flowers was placed in the directors’ box at Elland Road where he would have sat alongside David Sullivan.
His old side found themselves in front 45 seconds after the restart when Brendon Aaronson’s poor pass was pounced on by Gianluca Scamacca, who bent in a stunning second past a helpless Illan Meslier.
Leeds bounced back again and deservedly levelled through Rodrigo, who netted his 10th goal of the season 20 minutes from time with a smart finish.
The hosts pushed for a late winner but were forced to settle for a point, while West Ham finally ended their losing streak – but are still searching for their first win since October 9.
