Ten-man West Ham fight back to draw 2-2 at Millwall
Ten-man West Ham came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Millwall in the Championship on Saturday 19 September 2026. It was a south London derby with everything, and it finished level.
Millwall led 2-0 at half-time, according to The Guardian. Caleb Taylor put the hosts ahead in the 16th minute. Camiel Neghli added the second before the break.
This was no ordinary league game. It was the clubs' first meeting since 2012. The 12:30 kick-off brought a heavy police presence, with 400 Metropolitan Police officers on hand for the fixture.
West Ham hit back in the second half. The Championship is England's second tier, one step below the Premier League, and the leaders showed why they are there.
Mohamadou Kanté and Konstantinos Mavropanos both scored for the visitors to make it 2-2. Kanté was also sent off, leaving West Ham to finish with 10 men. The final score was confirmed as 2-2 by BBC Sport.
West Ham arrived at Millwall top of the Championship. They were riding a four-game winning streak, a run that stretched back before the international break.
What makes this stand out is the shape of it. Millwall were in control. Then West Ham were down to 10. A point from there will feel like a small win for the away end, and a missed chance for the home end.
