West Ham fight back from two down to draw fiery derby at Millwall

Millwall surged ahead in the first half of their heated derby thanks to close-range finishes from Caleb Taylor and Camiel Neghli, both created by Lyndon Dykes throw-ins, while Mark Sykes also rattled the woodwork from 35 yards. The contest grew contentious around the 65th minute when Millwall keeper Filip Marschall claimed Taty Castellanos spat in his direction, an incident that prompted a stoppage without disciplinary sanction.

West Ham overturned the deficit after the break through substitute Mohamadou Kante's 25-yard strike and Konstantinos Mavropanos's 80th-minute header at the back post. The visitors were reduced to ten men when Kante received a red card for hauling down Kyrell Lisbie as the last defender, marking the fixture's fourth dismissal across seven games, before Dykes missed a late chance to settle the contest at 2-2.
