Pre season is underway! Bowen on target as West Ham come from two goals down to draw against Dundee

West Ham have kicked off pre-season for Premier League sides by coming from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against Dundee.

The Scottish Premiership side looked set to consign the Hammers to defeat in their opening pre-season game when Charlie Adam scored within a quarter of an hour before Paul McMullan's second eight minutes into the second half.

But West Ham were level after two second-half goals in six minutes from Jamal Baptiste and Jarrod Bowen, as the east London side capped off a week-long training camp in St Andrews with a stalemate.

David Moyes had a mix of youth and experience at the Kilmac Stadium, with the likes of Declan Rice, Tomas Soucek and Andriy Yarmolenko unavailable as they still are or have just finished competing for their countries at Euro 2020.

But Dundee - just four days away from the start of their Scottish League Cup campaign - started the brighter and took the lead when former Liverpool midfielder Adam rose and headed Declan McDaid's corner past Nathan Trott.

Michail Antonio went close to an equaliser just before the half-hour mark, thudding a shot into the chest of Adam Legzdins after good work from Nathan Holland.

Dundee stopper Legzdins was called into action again in stoppage time of the first half, this time sticking out his right boot to divert Bowen's drilled strike away from danger.

Moyes made seven changes at half time, but suffered another blow eight minutes into the second half when an unchallenged McMullan unleashed an effort past with Darren Randolph's left hand.

Eight minutes later however the Hammers were back in the friendly, as Baptiste powered a header past Legzdins after Bowen had forced a corner with a free-kick.

The duo then combined to win a penalty for West Ham six minutes later, with Bowen collecting a lofted pass from Baptiste before going down under Ryan Sweeney's clumsy challenge inside the box.

Bowen then picked himself up and sent the keeper the wrong way from the spot kick, picking out the right hand corner to draw the Hammers level.

The former Hull forward was then replaced by Xande Silva and he along with had chances to win the game for their sides, but were off target with their efforts.

West Ham will now return south of the border, with the first team squad split between a double header against League Two sides Leyton Orient and Northampton on Tuesday at the same time.
