Kanté and Mavropanos rescue late point for West Ham in derby thriller at Millwall
In a pulsating London derby in the Championship, West Ham looked set for defeat at Millwall before N'Golo Kanté and Konstantinos Mavropanos struck late to secure a point. The result extends West Ham's unbeaten run in the second tier but leaves questions about their defensive frailty, having conceded multiple goals at The Den. Millwall, buoyed by the underdog occasion, will feel hard done by after leading deep into stoppage time.
Read the full story at theguardian.comWest Ham's habit of late rescues is becoming a defining trait of their Championship campaign, with Kanté's midfield influence once again proving decisive in a hostile away environment. Mavropanos' contribution at the back — turning scorer rather than simply defender — hints at a side finding ways to win ugly points on the road. For Millwall, the inability to close out a derby they largely controlled will sting, and defensive concentration in the final minutes remains a concern heading into the next set of fixtures.
