MATCH RATING

Entertainment 7

BEGOVIC: Some fine goalkeeping, in all aspects, and no chance with goal 8

CAMERON: Another tough education, but once again his temperament wasn't found wanting 7

WILKINSON: Fell foul of Carroll's Hong-Kong Phooey challenge early on and never quite recovered 6

SHAWCROSS: Will be disappointed with equaliser, but otherwise few signs of any England hangover when the pressure was on 7

HUTH: Another to stand strong with body and soul when the heat was on second half 7

WALTERS: Fine finish early in the piece and soldiered on manfully with late injury at the end 7

NZONZI: So unlucky not to open his account, while his passing wasn't always the safest 7

WHELAN: Big moments at both ends of the pitch before that pre-match hamstring problem left him retiring early from the game 7

ADAM: Mixed excellent fluency with a few scuffed passes during a decent offering 7

ETHERINGTON: Put in a shift for the cause, but not the sparkling return he would have craved at his old club 6

CROUCH: Few sighters of goal and found the going tough in the air 6

SUBSTITUTES

SHOTTON (for Wilkinson, 32): Baptism of fire at times on his return, but one he stood up to well 7

PALACIOS (for Whelan, 62): Fresh legs and ideas, but no chance to really impose himself 6

KIGHTLY (for Etherington, 74): Full of useful running, but wasted one excellent crossing opportunity 6

Not used: Sorensen, Jones, Upson, Jerome.

WEST HAM: Jaaskelainen, O'Brien (Demel, 77), McCartney, Reid, Tomkins, O'Neil, Diame, Noble, Maiga (Taylor, 86), Nolan, Carroll (Cole, 86). Subs not used: Spiegel, Collins, Spence, Hall.
