Hammers fight back to deny Arsenal

25 October 2009 18:41
Arsenal threw away the chance of a fifth straight Barclays Premier League win as West Ham battled back to earn a 2-2 draw at Upton Park. The Gunners had looked in complete control following first-half goals from Robin van Persie and William Gallas. However, Carlton Cole pulled a goal back before substitute Alessandro Diamanti netted a late penalty. West Ham finished with 10 men when Scott Parker was shown a second yellow card, but were not to be denied a much-needed positive result.
