Norwich: Dimitri Payet scored one goal and set up another to inspire West Ham's comeback from two goals behind in a 2-2 draw at Norwich in the Premier League on Saturday.
Two days after signing an improved deal with West Ham, the France midfielder again showed his worth by slotting home from close range in the 74th minute to make it 2-1, before laying the ball off for Mark Noble to equalize from the edge of the area in the 76th.
Norwich ended a six-match losing streak but it will feel like two points dropped after Robbie Brady's opener in the 54th was added to by Wes Hoolahan in the 65th.
Third-from-bottom Norwich stayed in the relegation zone with 12 games left.
Stoke end losing run with 3-1 win at Bournemouth
Stoke ended a run of three consecutive 3-0 defeats with a morale-boosting 3-1 win at Bournemouth.
Newly-signed from Porto, French midfielder Giannelli Imbula gave Stoke the ideal start, volleying home from 25 yards (meters) in the ninth minute.
Bournemouth tried to respond in the second half but came off worse from three goals scored in the space of five minutes.
Ibrahim Afellay struck his first Premier League goal in the 52nd minute and Xherdan Shaqiri provided a superb cross for Joselu to make it 3-0 just a minute later.
Bournemouth's Matt Ritchie smacked a left shot past Jack Butland in the 57th and then came close to a second, but Mark Hughes' side held on for the victory.
