Lionesses legend – and West Ham fan – Ellen White fears Manchester United’s late equaliser could give the Hammers a mountain to climb.
Tomas Soucek looked set to have given West Ham three points before Benjamin Sesko struck in injury time to make it 1-1.
“It’s two points dropped for West Ham,” said White on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily.
“To have 26 points would have have put them in an amazing position. If Nottingham Forest beat Wolves on Wednesday it’s a five-point gap. That’s a huge mountain to climb again. This will be a huge devastating result for them. I’m not sure whether one point is enough.”
Ex-Premier League midfielder Michael Brown agreed “it’s a big blow” but still “a huge point” and praised the work they did in the January window.
“I feared for West Ham. I didn’t think they had a chance unless they were creative at the end of the window. They did a little bit, not as much as we thought. The training ground will be a good place.”
He added: “Bournemouth is the must-win game to try to close the gap. West Ham are coming back and showing great signs.”
