West Ham United produced a stunning recovery to claim an unlikely point in a 3-3 draw against Tottenham Hotspur today.

Spurs were rampant in the first half, as Son Heung-min fired them into a first-minute lead before Harry Kane scored twice.

The game looked to be done and dusted even with 20 minutes to go, but Fabian Balbuena gave West Ham hope before Davinson Sanchez’s own goal set up a nervy finish.

West Ham then produced their final act of this stunning fightback, with Manuel Lanzini smashing a long-range strike past Hugo Lloris for a last-gasp equaliser.

David Moyes should be ecstatic with the comeback, and it now means that the Hammers are three games unbeaten in the Premier League.

Theres is only one place to start with any reaction, as Lanzini’s goal lit up the game and served as a reminder to fans of what he can do.

The Argentinian has suffered injury hell and a loss of form in recent times, but fans lauded him on Twitter, suggesting that ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’.

Others joked that Lanzini is better than Gareth Bale having made more of an impact as a substitute, and is on his way back to his best after taking so much criticism in recent times.
