Hammers' glimmer of hope

West Ham striker Araujo Ilan snatched a last-gasp equalizer to earn his relegation-threatened side a vital 2-2 draw at Everton on Sunday.

Gianfranco Zola's team looked certain to suffer a seventh successive defeat when Ayegbeni Yakubu headed Everton into the lead with five minutes remaining at Goodison Park.

But Brazilian substitute Ilan struck with a brilliant diving header less than two minutes later to lift the Hammers one point clear of the relegation zone.
