    We will leave you tonight with this. The ball placed on the bar at the very end of injury time. Cheikhou Kouyate headed against the woodwork.

    So what will that mean? Could it be the point to win Manchester City the title? You never know.

    Andrew Priestley: Dimitri Payet will take all the plaudits in this West Ham side, but Alex Song is the engine behind it all. He was immense.

    What about Dimitri Payet, social media is in meltdown as praise comes in for the West Ham man. 

    He played two key passes and lost the ball 10 times. Arguably better than David Silva on this showing then.

    A little look through our stats system here shows David Silva was perhaps at not his imperious best today.

    One key pass (yellow) but he gave the ball away 13 times. Uncharacteristic for the little magician.

    West Ham manager Slaven Bilic speaking to BBC Sport:

    "It was a great game of football. I'm so proud of our team and Man City. There was everything in it. Four goals, chances, yellow cards and a penalty. 

    "We were a little bit disappointed but I said to the players they shouldn't be. But if you are disappointed after playing Man City then that's good.

    "We defended well and created many chances.

    "I didn't see the penalty - from here it looked soft, but I was far, far away. It looked like a red for City player Martin Demichelis, but I'd like to see it again.

    "We hit the post at the end, but they hit the post twice. If it wasn't for Joe Hart in goal then Dimitri Payet's free-kick would have been in."

    Man City manager Manuel Pellegrini on Sky Sports:

    "It [a draw] was not what we wanted before the game. If you analyse the whole game we had two or three clear chances. It was a difficult game - I was not happy the way we conceded the second goal.

    "It was a close game for both teams and a good game for both sets of fans. It was end to end because both teams play in an attacking way.

    "Sergio Aguero played very well and scored. I think he is 100% again. Vincent Kompany needs a couple of weeks more."

    West Ham midfielder Mark Noble on Sky Sports:

    "They're a top, top team. A little bit of luck went their way for the second goal. Against a team like that you have to be proud of a point, but I'm a little bit gutted. 

    "We can compete with anyone when we play like that and we showed that tonight."

  11. 'City win would have been unfair'published at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 23 January 2016

    West Ham 2-2 Man City

    Man City keeper Joe Hart on BBC Sport:

    "That save did feel good from Dimitri Payet. I had to move my feet quickly. It was a great game of football. I thought it was a brilliant game. They played football. It was great the way Enner Valencia was attacking. 

    "Sergio Aguero is a killer - even though he is not at the standard he says is his best, he's still scoring. We've come from behind. A draw was a fair result, a West Ham win would not have been unfair. A City win would have been unfair."

    Leicester City fans, the floor remains yours for the night.

    Arsenal take on Chelsea tomorrow. And we will not overlook Tottenham. Some win today and they are still in there.

    So was that a fair take on proceedings? What are your thoughts.

    Possession quite even, not too much to choose on the shot count.

    Is it enough from Manchester City though? Could be a costly weekend if Arsenal win tomorrow, Leicester won today of course.

    Jonathan Cowley: If you can't win don't lose I guess. Iheanacho made a difference. Sergio magic again. Payet is some player.

    "Well that was an unbelievable delivery from Payet, an unbelievable arrival from Kouyate and Hart didn’t come but it has hit the bar. It has been a really entertaining game."

    Deep breaths. A fine display packed with guts by West Ham. Manchester City will look to a sloppy second goal for the home side as the creation of a mountain they almost climbed.

    Sergio Aguero is Sergio Aguero again. That's ominous in this title race but there is still something vulnerable about Manuel Pellegrini's side.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 90+3

    West Ham 2-2 Man City

    The last attack. West ham free-kick from inside the Manchester City half. It will be Mark Noble to cross. In it comes and Cheikhou Kouyate leaps... OFF THE BAR.

    Wow. What a finish to a fabulous game of football. The last attack and his header clattered the top of the frame. Joe Hart looked beaten, City take a point.

  20. CLOSE!published at 90+2

    West Ham 2-2 Man City

    Sam Byram is a target now, he can barely move at right-back. It's the other flank under siege here though and Kevin de Bruyne will shoot will he? No, find defending by Winston Reid.

    City come again, the ball drops for SERGIO AGUERO... straight at Adrian who falls on the ball. Not the man you want to see linking up a shot at the death.
