Andy Carroll came off the bench to secure a point for West Ham United against a plucky Stoke City side.
Peter Crouch thought he had secured all three points for Paul Lambert's side after pouncing on a spillage from Joe Hart.
But Carroll's goal keeps the Potters in 19th place, with just four games to go.
The visitors had not won an away game since October, and it desperately showed.
It was a cagey opening in the first 45 minutes, with former Potter Marko Arnautovic forcing a point-blank save from Jack Butland in what was an otherwise dour first half.
