Tomas Soucek was denied a late winner for West Ham as they had to settle for a Premier League point against Aston Villa at London Stadium.
Soucek thought he had won it for the Hammers in the dying stages of added time, after getting on the end of James Ward-Prowse's inswinging free-kick but it was ruled out for handball after a lengthy Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check.
Nicolo Zaniolo rescued a point for Champions League chasers Villa, scoring in the 79th minute.
Moussa Diaby's cutback into the box was expertly prodded home by the Italian as he scored his second league goal for Villa.
Michail Antonio had put the Hammers in front after scoring his first Premier League goal since August.
The Jamaica international executed a superb diving header, getting on the end of Vladimir Coufal's pinpoint delivery in the 29th minute.
Antonio had a second ruled out for handball shortly after the break as he was adjudged to have used his arm to convert Jarrod Bowen's cross.
David Moyes' side remain seventh while Villa are three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham.
