West Ham battled back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at arch-rivals Millwall in a fiery renewal of one of football's most famous derbies, which included a late red card for Mohamadou Kante.

The half-time sub had helped change the game for the visitors, arrowing into the bottom corner from 25 yards to launch the comeback. The Hammers then levelled on 80 minutes when Konstantinos Mavropanos headed in at the back post and looked set to push on for a winner.

But Kante brought down Kyrell Lisbie with a last-man foul after he had been caught in possession to receive the fourth red card in the past seven meetings between these sides and Lyndon Dykes blasted over a last-gasp chance for Millwall to clinch it.

It was a dramatic conclusion to a game which lived up to its billing, 14 years on from the last Dockers derby. The home side overwhelmed West Ham in the first half with close-range goals from Caleb Taylor and Camiel Neghli from Dykes long throws.
