Danny Ings showed all the quality, experience and composure that had seen him score 71 Premier League goals to net a dramatic late leveller and secure a 1-1 draw at Fulham on Saturday.
The Hammers looked on course for a third defeat in four top-flight matches to start the 2024/25 season at Craven Cottage before Ings climbed off the bench and sent the Claret and Blue Army wild with a superb touch and finish in the fifth and final minute of added time.
In shades of the 2023 UEFA Europa Conference League final, Vladimír Coufal’s quickly-taken throw found Jarrod Bowen who, rather than win a penalty, cut the ball back for Ings, who took a touch and fired a low shot past Bernd Leno at the near post.
The goal snatched a point West Ham did not look like snatching for long periods of the 94 minutes prior to Ings’ intervention.
