West Ham United staged a remarkable second-half comeback to earn a 3-3 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Spurs took just 45 seconds to open the scoring through Son Heung-min before a Harry Kane double had them cruising at half time.

Gareth Bale made his long awaited second Tottenham debut as a second-half substitute and the Welshman's poor finish with only Lukasz Fabianski to beat proved costly.

Fabian Balbuena's header set up a nervy finish and Spurs looked all at sea when Davinson Sanchez headed in an own goal.

With seconds remaining, West Ham substitute Manuel Lanzini pounced on a loose ball to slice home a sensational equaliser that had manager David Moyes dancing on the pitch in celebration.
