West Ham United played out a frantic and pulsating 2-2 draw with Leeds United to kick-off 2023.
Wilfried Gnonto gave the Peacocks the lead on 29 minutes, playing a quick one-two with Crysencio Summerville before lashing a low strike past Łukasz Fabiański.
The Hammers fought back, however, and got their leveller in first-half added time after Jarrod Bowen was fouled in the penalty area. A VAR check saw the spot-kick confirmed, and Lucas Paquetá coolly dispatched his first West Ham goal from 12 yards.
Less than a minute into the second half and the Irons took the lead when Gianluca Scamacca fired in his seventh goal of the season. The Italian received the ball from a wayward Brenden Aaronson back pass, turned and curled in from distance via the base of the post.
Leeds would level the match up at Elland Road on 70 minutes through Rodrigo, who combined with substitute Jack Harrison and tucked in to tie the contest up.
Declan Rice went close twice for the Hammers with shots from outside the area, while Tomáš Souček also saw a scrambled, close-range effort ruled out for offside.
