LATE DRAMA! | West Ham v QPR extended highlights

Here come the players to a full house at the London Stadium as the EFL returns at last after that extended international break. Not a bad way to come back, either, is it? A London derby between two of the championship's top six. The Hammers bidding for a fourth home league win in a row to go back to the top of the table. Rangers hoping to put their injury woes to one side and nab second place. Well, for now the focus is on Ludo Mikloschko, the 1991 Hammer of the Year. Who played 373 times for West Ham and became a cult figure here? And of course, when he left in 1998, he ended his playing career. With tonight's opponents, QPR playing 57 times for them before a spell as goalkeeping coach back here with his beloved Hammers, so tonight the perfect occasion to pay tribute to a fabulous footballer and a wonderful, much loved human being. Kemper tracking him in field. Why by Kilman? So check now, Walker Peters. A lot of West Ham players forward here, Bowen. Quite capable of producing something spectacular and acrobatic. Neely was as well. I mean, this is a lot better from West Ham. A little bit more patient, and then. So clever, isn't it, from Jared Bowick? Forward by Dunn. Colly, well cut out by Morata. So check now. That's a giveaway to Smith. Smith advancing, but look at the recovery there. Oh, it's a penalty. Challenged by Socek, disbelief etched over his face. He gave it away. Then he recovered. He thought it was a great tackle. The referee Ruben Ricardo points to the spot. By the way, I nearly said what a great challenge that is from Socek. Oh my word! Definitely not a penalty. Just what I thought initially. I mean, this is an absolute howler. It really is. I mean, the follow through. I mean, it's not even dangerous, is it? But. Ready to keep on? They put the press on. It's here. He gets in off of the ball, doesn't he? Well, what an opportunity here! For Queens Park Rangers early on, it's Maxin, and he just strokes it in. The QPR Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year nets his first of the season to stun the London Stadium. And Rangers seize the initiative. Yeah, they certainly do. I mean, it's a brilliant penalty. First and foremost, look at them, Rangers fans. They are absolutely delighted with this start. And it's all about composure, you know. Sochet West Ham there absolutely furious, but there's a big smile on. Nicholas Matson's face, and just love the fact that he strolls up. This is a big moment. Let me tell you, that is taken brilliantly. I mean, quite clearly there. It's a big touch from Solchet. Not a penalty for me. No way on this earth. But, UPR get on with it, and they take advantage. On that far side, by Morato. Charles has to palm that over his own bar. Certainly wasn't looking for gold, there Morato, but he might have found it, but for Charles's intervention. They're sensible. I think the ball in for Morato. I don't think he's shooting by any stretch. He's trying to put a whip delivery in, and it's a teaser. In with the corner. Have been so dangerous from those this season, but Rangers could be dangerous on transition. And Colly well found by Pocket. Ryan Colly wants to go all the way, pushed away by Hermanson. That all came from West Ham's corner. Absolutely brilliant counter attack play at its best. He got that second goal. Challenge got the ball by Bowen. Little flick from Pablo. It goes by Castellanos. Here is Bowen taking it on. Challenge kept on going. The ball home to make it one-one with 20 minutes to go. Talk about a captain's contribution. Yeah, I said, listen, a lot depends. On results, creativity, flair, goals from this man, and this is the reason why, because he does it brilliantly, and we haven't seen enough of it. This took 70 minutes, and a substitute that's changed from. QPR, Tariq Lamptey. I mean, he's no slouch whatsoever, is he? But as soon as Jared Bowen and it's brilliant play in that centre of the area, right up, Croy, Castianos, and then the direct, the positive that achieved from Jared Bowen. Yes, he gets fortunate. He pounces on the beats, but he does it brilliantly because he's still got to stick it in the back of the net. KPR will be kicking themselves. And here's Bowen again, and suddenly the whole atmosphere has changed inside the London Stadium. That wasn't a foul. It was West Ham's first shot for forty-two minutes. They needed it badly. Here's Peru. Have to wait 42 minutes for the next shot. 42 seconds. Positive energy that he brought to this West Ham side forces a big save there from Charles. Just looking to regroup here. Poku just lost his bearings, and Engels will bring it away. A lovely ball by Castellanos to Bowen. Everyone on their feet here at the London Stadium. It's Bowen. He and they have just come to life. Great switcher play there from, it's Dionos, on front, Noel Perut. He wants that pass. What Jared Bowen's like once he gets the opportunity, he likes to take them strikes. He's not a million miles away. House post ball in, done. Heads away. Shots on for Nabrapanos, maybe. Instead, he finds Bowen. Nabrapanos bundling his way through. It's Bowen. Oh, and tipped away by Charles. Before Pablo could get a touch. Brilliant from Bowen. Pulls his way through, and then this is a really big save on the way from. Here's Charles in goal. It's really, really good. The limit towards Pablo now as he pulled down in the box. It looked like a shot call. It's a penalty. Yellow card as well, but a chance here for West Ham. To win the game and go back to the top. Now that is a penalty, and you literally. The word straight out of my mouth, clear, clear tug, and pull. Very, very slow by the referee to make the call, but the ball that switched in here. And you can see it clear as day. I mean, he's going to get on the end of it. He's got every chance. And what on earth is he doing there? I do not know. And now a chance for West Ham's captain to double his tally in the game and surely win the match for West Ham United. Here goes Bowen. Oh! By Charles, and then on against the woodwork as well, and QPR survive. Pierce Charles, the hero for Rangers, a majestic contribution from the goalkeeper, and Jared Bowen and West Ham are denied. What a game! This is ended up being Jared Bowen. What a save this is from Charles. Double save. I mean. It's outrageous! Is it awful that has the follow-up? He must have thought he'd scored, and he heads it straight back. And the young man has been outstanding. What a double save! And it looks like, DPR are going to take a point after all. That's it! Despair for Jared Bowen and West Ham United. He missed the chance to seize top spot in the championship. With his penalty, magnificently saved by Pierce Charles. Bowen, who got West Ham level single-handedly, really. In a match that was completely drifting away from Nuno's side. They were so disappointing for so long, but the stage was set for Bowen to win it in stoppage time. That QPR will leave the London Stadium with what they will see as a fully deserved point. It is finished in this London derby. West Ham United one, Queens Park Rangers one.
