Andy Carroll rescued a point for West Ham against Stoke City on Monday night.

Peter Crouch netted for Stoke on 79 minutes, but Carroll scored a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw for West Ham in the Premier League.

Crouch said afterwards: "Their goal killed us. We've got five minutes left, it would have been vital 3 points, a lifeline. A draw still a good result but three would have done us a world of good."

"I thought we defended well, were good for three points. It was a great goal, but a bit of a kick in the teeth. I think since the new manager has come in we have showed a lot of fight and character and not conceded lots."

On their survival chances, he added: "We can take heart in our remaining games, there are some winnable ones, if we can win three who knows?"
