West Ham United overcame a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.
Robbie Brady opened the scoring for Canaries nine minutes after half-time with a curled effort following a mistake from Michail Antonio, before Wes Hoolahan doubled the home side's advantage from close range in the 65th minute.
Dimitri Payet was the first to react when Victor Moses' shot was parried into his path, finishing strongly from close range to make it 2-1.
The Hammers were back on level terms less than two minutes later, with Mark Noble's third goal of the season completing the London club's comeback.

Carrow Road, Norwich (27,101)
TALKING POINTS
Norwich managed to end their streak of five consecutive Premier League defeats, but will no doubt this result would have felt like another loss for the Canaries, having blown a 2-0 lead at home to a Hammers outfit missing a host of key players due to injury.
West Ham star Payet did not have his best game in the claret and blue but delivered when it mattered most, contributing a goal and an assist to ensure his side managed to come away from Carrow Road with a point.
WHAT'S NEXT?
West Ham travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday, while Norwich visit Premier League leaders Leicester City in fortnight's time.

QUOTES CORNER
Norwich manager Alex Neil was upset his side couldn't hold their two-goal lead:
"We created good opportunities and it was a better performance than we have had recently. But from 2-0 up at home and with the way the game was going we should have seen it out.
"We will take a lot from the performance but we are disappointed we let a lead slip."
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic was pleased with his side's resilience:
"We are never happy with a point, we are not buzzing. But when that point comes after being 2-0 down it gives us confidence and satisfaction.
"After Tuesday night (the FA Cup fourth-round replay against Liverpool) when we played 120 minutes, to show that kind of strength, resilience, character and quality makes us happy."
