West Ham came from behind to draw 2-2 with Southampton in an entertaining game at St Mary's.

Alan Curbishley sent out a strong side with Valon Behrami making his second appearance in the space of three days, but it was Saints who started the brighter.

David McGoldrick broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute with a close-range finish and the 20-year-old striker then grabbed a second four minutes later as he fired past goalkeeper Marek Stech.

Calum Davenport pulled one back for the Hammers on the stroke of half-time with a header from Julien Faubert's corner.

West Ham were frustrated at the start of the second half before Zavon Hines stepped off the substitutes' bench to score a stunning equaliser in the 75th minute.
