West Ham recover from three down to draw 3-3 with Cardiff

Three goals down at half-time in Scott Parker's first match, West Ham still came away with a point. Divine Mukasa, Arne Engels and Max Kilman scored after the break to turn Jack Moylan's hat-trick into a 3-3 draw with Cardiff City.

Mukasa started the comeback after 58 minutes, Engels scored seven minutes later and Kilman completed it. The first half had looked like a bleak opening for Parker; the final score tells a rather different story, without turning a three-goal deficit into a good start.
