Tomas Soucek earned West Ham United a point against Tottenham Hotspur in a 1-1 draw in the Premier League on Wednesday after an own goal had given the visitors the lead.
Thilo Kehrer diverted Harry Kane's low cross into his own goal in the 34th minute after unbeaten Tottenham had also had a penalty overturned by a VAR check.
West Ham responded well though and Tottenham could have no complaints at having to settle for a draw.
Soucek thumped home a close-range finish in the 55th minute after which both sides could have snatched a winner with West Ham going closest in stoppage time.
Third-placed Tottenham have 11 points from their opening five games, four behind leaders Arsenal.
West Ham, who got their first win of the season at the weekend, are in 14th place with four points.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
