Leeds vs West Ham LIVE!

West Ham brought an end to a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats as they battled to a 2-2 draw at Leeds on Wednesday. The writing looked to be on the wall for the visitors after teenage forward Wilfried Gnonto gave Leeds the lead in the 27th minute, but David Moyes's side responded well and deservedly levelled just before halftime through a Lucas Paqueta penalty.

With supporters still taking their seats for the second half, Gianluca Scamacca stunned Elland Road with a second for West Ham 44 seconds after the restart to complete the turnaround. Leeds toiled as the rain came down, but a thunderbolt out of the blue from Rodrigo restored parity once more with 20 minutes to go.

Both sides had chances to win it but had to settle for a point apiece, with West Ham remaining 17th in the table, level on 15 points with Everton in the relegation zone, while Leeds are two points clear of the bottom three in 14th.

21:13 , Marc Mayo

The mood in here has turned on its head in a few minutes of football either side of half-time. Suddenly Leeds are gifting possession away at every turn and the crowd are getting right on their backs.

50 mins: Leeds look for a quick reply and the home fans are furious when Ayling takes a tumble up against Kehrer but David Coote waves it away.

Malik Ouzia at Elland Road

20:54 , Marc Mayo

How about that for a finish from Gianluca Scamacca?! He’s not had a sniff - not only tonight, but in most of the games he’s played of late.

20:32 , Marc Mayo

That felt like a huge moment. Paqueta, the man Moyes put club-record amounts of cash into signing, standing over the ball with a kick to potentially keep the Scot in a job. Long way to go yet, but a big goal before half-time.

Three minutes added on.

GGGOOOOAAALLL!!! Leeds 1-1 West Ham | Paqueta

20:31 , Marc Mayo

44 mins: Some West Ham complaints as Gnonto tries to scuff up the spot before Paqueta puts the ball down...

20:26 , Marc Mayo

40 mins: Cooper booked for felling Scamacca on a dangerous break. The Italian had him done all ends up, there.

CLOSE!

20:24 , Marc Mayo

38 mins: Meslier comes off his line to clear and he doesn’t get enough on it, Coufal sending his long-range shot into the stratosphere before it lands on the roof of the net!

20:23 , Marc Mayo

36 mins: Bit of a chance for Paqueta following a fine ball from Fornals. The Brazilian collects well but just overruns it as the angle tightens and he hits the side netting.

Malik Ouzia at Elland Road

20:21 , Marc Mayo

Tomas Soucek, playing in central-midfield, has had eight touches so far - the same number as Lukasz Fabianski.

LEEDS CHANCE!

20:20 , Marc Mayo

34 mins: Aaronson sends Aguerd for an ice cream before Kehrer turns his cross into touch.

Leeds looking threatening and the corner lands for Aaronson, who catches his volley while leaning back and it goes over!

20:18 , Marc Mayo

32 mins: Leeds by far the more confident since that goal, West Ham now having to weather a bit of a storm and graft their way back into the contest.

20:17 , Marc Mayo

It’s a nice bit of play between Gnonto and Summerville but how easily were West Ham cut open there?

There were a cluster of Claret shirts in the shot as the ball hit the net but none able to get to the Leeds man.

GGGOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!!! Leeds 1-0 West Ham | Gnonto

20:14 , Marc Mayo

27 mins: A first Leeds goal for the youngster! A proper blast that left Fabianski without a chance.

What were we just saying about conceding out of nowhere..?

Malik Ouzia at Elland Road

20:12 , Marc Mayo

Relatively even game so far. The problem for West Ham is that in this run there’ve been several games where they’ve been well on top and then suddenly conceded out of almost nothing.

20:10 , Marc Mayo

23 mins: Nothing doing from either the free-kick or subsequent corner, in fact we’re still waiting on Leeds’ first shot.

20:08 , Marc Mayo

21 mins: Good play by Rice and then Aguerd as Leeds put West Ham under pressure, emboldened by a poor Kehrer pass.

Fabianski palms away a cross from the right after Ayling steals in behind a lazy Kehrer touch, the Hammers conceding a free-kick in a good spot.

Malik Ouzia at Elland Road

20:05 , Marc Mayo

A few lovely touches and passes in behind from Lucas Paqueta so far. Trouble is they’ve mainly been to full-backs unable to pick out the giant frame of Scamacca in the middle.

WEST HAM CHANCE!

20:03 , Marc Mayo

17 mins: Soucek nearly gets on the end of a fine Bowen cross from the right that was just begging to be nodded in, six yards out with Meslier stranded.

20:00 , Marc Mayo

14 mins: Brighter start from the Hammers so far, Paqueta launching a volley into a sturdy Leeds block.

19:59 , Marc Mayo

13 mins: Rice spots the top corner from a bouncing ball and attempts to score what, realistically, would have been the goal of the season from 30 yards.

He skews it so far wide that Bowen can pick it up and West Ham continue the attack, eventually winning the ball back off Leeds to force a corner.

Malik Ouzia at Elland Road

19:58 , Marc Mayo

Interesting little tweak to the West Ham midfield shape here.

It’s tended to be Rice and Soucek as a pair with Paqueta in the No10 when all three have played, but it’s much more of a three tonight, with Rice as the single pivot.

19:54 , Marc Mayo

8 mins: Rice takes a sore one after a high foot by Rodrigo.

Foul given and, eventually, a yellow card as the physios treat the West Ham captain. He took that one right on his ear, which is a bit bloodied.

5 mins: Scamacca gets in behind Leeds after a Koch error but the Italian is offside, and crowded out as he looks to get a shot off anyway.

Malik Ouzia at Elland Road

19:49 , Marc Mayo

Thilo Kehrer at left-back looked an interesting selection and it’s not started brilliantly, has it? His West Ham career has been a strange one so far.

He’s looked a solid, classy operator for large periods of games but punctuated them with some dreadful bits of play.

19:48 , Marc Mayo

2 mins: Kehrer and Fornals on the left for West Ham and that is where a huge error comes from, allowing Rodrigo to rush into the box...

Aguerd makes a fine sliding tackle in the box!

“Really sad, we’ve known he was ill for a little while but unfortunately today he passed away. Our condolences to all his family, he was a really good man.

Writing in West Ham’s club statement, the manager said: “I am extremely sad to hear this news and, on behalf of all of the players and my staff at the training ground, I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to David Gold’s family at this very difficult time.

“Mr Gold was a regular visitor to Rush Green and always a source of great support and encouragement to myself and the players.

“It was clear that he had a genuine and sincere love for the club and was a true supporter at heart. He took a great interest in the people working behind the scenes and was always keen to help in any way he could.

“He will be greatly missed.”

Evening Standard score prediction

18:03 , Marc Mayo

The Hammers are in a bad way and a defeat could spell the end for Moyes in east London. It will be interesting to see if going on the road will help improve their confidence and desire.

A 2-0 Leeds win.

Tributes pour in for David Gold

17:49 , Marc Mayo

Tributes have been paid to West Ham joint-chairman David Gold after his death at the age of 86.

Gold, who died on Wednesday morning following a short illness, was born in Stepney and played for the Irons' boys team. Gold became joint-chairman of the Premier League club in 2010 alongside David Sullivan after a successful takeover.

Sullivan spoke of the club's "profound sorrow" in announcing the death of his long-time friend and business partner, with condolences from clubs, officials and players soon following.

He said: “Of all our joint ventures, none gave us more pride and happiness than the day we took ownership of West Ham United, our club, in January 2010.

“David had a long-standing connection with the Hammers, having grown up opposite the Boleyn Ground in Green Street, and represented the club at junior level.

“He always wanted what was best for West Ham United, and his passing is a great loss for all of us.”
