He added: "It was a missed opportunity that we didn't get the second goal and the performance in the second half probably warranted it. We kept the focus and the belief to come back. We like his hold-up play, he is really good at it but we haven't seen it as much in the work we've been doing." "The biggest thing was to get a result on Thursday [in the Europa Conference League]. We played a good game and had many chances but just couldn't score. West Ham manager David Moyes told Sky Sports: "The performance was much improved in the second half. He is demanding and critical of himself and listening a lot." We controlled the game more in the first half but they pushed us and had chances. "The result is positive. West Ham substitute Maxwel Cornet had a glorious chance to win the game in stoppage-time but attempted a bizarre step over before firing straight at Martinez. Villa began to tail off after an hour and had to rely on their goalkeeper again as he tipped over a long-range effort from Benrahma cutting in from the left. But West Ham responded quickly from the penalty spot after Bailey was penalised for a soft challenge on Paqueta.

Ollie Watkins put Villa in front with an industrious and clever header of an Alex Moreno cross, but Said Benrahma made the most of a silly Leon Bailey foul to ...

Losing Boubacar Kamara to injury is a blow as his form alongside Douglas Luiz is a big reason behind Villa’s upturn in results. That was back at the start of October. Villa exits the game in 11th with 35 points. Emiliano Martinez has been excellent in goal, while Tyrone Mings is also back to his best at the back. Declan Rice is doing his best to drive them on from midfield but defensive mistakes behind him are costing West Ham big time. West Ham and Aston Villa combined for nearly 30 shots but the hosts will feel aggrieved not to have found a winner in a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium on Sunday.

Saïd Benrahma's penalty cancelled out Ollie Watkins's opening goal as struggling West Ham were held to a 1-1 draw at home against Aston Villa.

A lively Benrahma was the chief threat, drawing a couple of excellent saves from Martínez. “But it was a very soft penalty.” They were light in midfield without Boubacar Kamara, forcing Emery to start Leon Bailey on the right and move John McGinn into a deeper role, and West Ham saw vulnerabilities. The attacking angles were less predictable here but the aim was awry. After 25 minutes the winger won and took a corner. Cornet would have to wait until four minutes from time and Gianluca Scamacca, the £35.5m Italy striker, was not given a chance to show whether he could flourish alongside Danny Ings, who was poor against his former side. “The moment we were in control was when we could have scored the second goal,” Emery said. Douglas Luiz strolled through midfield, Kehrer stood off Moreno and Aguerd lost Watkins, who punished the West Ham defence by glancing a bouncing header past Alphonse Areola. It was not until the 77th minute that he called on Fornals. They struck out of nothing in the 17th minute, Álex Moreno advancing from left-back and finding Watkins with a gorgeous whipped cross. But this was still a missed opportunity. West Ham did not look like a team who are about to embark on a triumphant march to safety.

Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive reports on the wider media reaction to London Stadium stalemate and what it means for both clubs.

West Ham started the day in the bottom three after Bournemouth’s shock win over Liverpool. They were light in midfield without Boubacar Kamara, forcing Emery to start Leon Bailey on the right and move John McGinn into a deeper role, and West Ham saw vulnerabilities. They knew a victory would lift them 14th, but they were unable to find a winner with Danny Ings drawing a blank against his old club. Immediately ahead of that group sit Villa, doubtless frustrated to be in one of those mid-table ‘nothing’ positions but out of danger at least. The point that saw Villa move to within two of Chelsea in 10th, while West Ham are hovering above the drop zone on goal difference. Villa, 11 points above the bottom three, were lax in possession at times. Bowen and Benrahma are joint top league scorers while summer signing Gianluca Scamacca has three and Danny Ings, recruited in January, has two. Douglas Luiz strolled through midfield, Kehrer stood off Moreno and Aguerd lost Watkins, who punished the West Ham defence by glancing a bouncing header past Alphonse Areola. But the Hammers were soon back on level terms after Leon Bailey conceded a first-half penalty was converted by Said Benrahma. They struck out of nothing in the 17th minute, Álex Moreno advancing from left-back and finding Watkins with a gorgeous whipped cross. Ings played up front here and was anonymous. “The moment we were in control was when we could have scored the second goal,” Emery said.

West Ham and Aston Villa combined for nearly 30 shots but the hosts will feel aggrieved not to have found a winner in a 1-1 draw at the London Stadium.
