West Ham 1 Stoke City 1: Bojan rescues point for Potters

A howler from Adrian handed Stoke City a deserved 1-1 draw with West Ham in another difficult afternoon for the hosts at the London Stadium.

Glenn Whelan's own-goal midway through the second half looked to have given the Hammers victory, only for Adrian to inexplicably abandon his goal to try to intercept a long ball forward, allowing Bojan to grab the equaliser.

Neither side was able to make an impression in an extremely quiet opening period, with Jonathan Walters' flashed drive across the face of goal the only opening of the first 15 minutes.

West Ham's performance forced Bilic into a double change on 63 minutes, withdrawing Ayew and Manuel Lanzini and pushing Michail Antonio up into attack with substitute Ashley Fletcher.
