    Time:90'
    • Middlesbrough
    • West Ham United
    • 90+1 I'm not sure anyone's happy with a point there.
    • 90+1 And that's it from the Riverside. A real thriller, West Ham dominated the first half, 'Boro much of the second but the Hammers could've stolen victory in the last minute.
    • 90' Ross Turnbull makes a dramatic superb double save to deny West Ham a victory. First, blocking from Bowyer and then getting up to save the rebound from Bellamy, following good work from Faubert.
    • 85' It's real end to end stuff now, both sides frantic to score the winner. Bellamy has an effort well saved, 'Boro are up the other end but their endeavours come to little.
    • 83' Mido comes close again, having received a Downing ball in the left channel he works Green and earns his side a corner. West Ham break and Matty Etherington's cross spins out for a corner past the post, that could have snuck in.
    • 81' Goal...definitely this time. It's Mido, he drives the free-kick, from the edge of the area, straight through the wall and into the bottom corner.
    • 77' Mido heads over from a Aliadiere cross and then draws a foul from James Collins.
    • 75' Goallllll for Hoyte!! Nope, lino's flag has ruled it out, just about rightly so. The full-back diving in to head home a sweetly struck Andrew Taylor shot that was going wide. It seems almost inevitable that 'Boro will score.
    • 72' Tuncay heads down for Mido to swivel and volley, via a defection, just wide. Middlesbrough are penalised for a foul following the corner. An incredible turn around at the Riverside.
    • 69' Downing whips in a free-kick for Riggott, Green scoops up a tame header.
    • 67' Hoyte squares to O'Neill and his blistering shot stings the palms of Green. It's all Boro now.
    • 65' 'Boro are giving it a real go now, but West Ham still look to break.
    • 62' Aliadiere is denied by an excellent Upson block, if Boro are to get back into this it's the Frenchman who looks likeliest.
    • 57' Collins brings down Alves on the edge of the box. The Brazilian picks himself up but it is a woeful effort. Truly woeful.
    • 55' The visitors have the first real chance of the second half, a cushioned Bellamy header invited James Collison to burst forward but Turnbull does brilliantly to thwart him, point blank.
    • 54' Middlesbrough have started the second half well, but West Ham are beginning to reassert themselves territorially.
    • 48' And it's Hoyte who plays a dangerous inviting ball into West Ham's danger area - Robert Green does well to claim.
    • 46' Middlesbrough replace Wheater with Hoyte in an attempt to reinvigorate a lacklustre display.
    • 46 And West Ham get the second half underway.
    • 45+2 And that's it from the Riverside for the first half, a thoroughly entertaining first half that West Ham dominated and, in truth, will be a little disappointed not to have cemented their dominance with another goal.
    • 45+1 'Boro are finishing the half the strongest, a searching cross from the right forces a scrambling Robert Green to punch it out for a corner. Following that corner and some generous West Ham defending Aliadiere, arguably the home side's best player, caught a sight of goal but a combination of Collins and Upson force the ball out for a corner.
    • 44' Alves serves a reminder to the visitors, his effort is a warning albeit a tame one.
    • 42' It's Mullins again...almost!! This time the midfielder, having received a square ball from Sears, wrapped his foot around it and was unlucky to see his effort fly past the wrong side of the post.
    • 39' West Ham are getting a lot of joy down the wings, this time Faubert puts in a cross. If Zola will have one gripe about an excellent first-half performance, it will be that at times their final ball has been poor.
    • 35' This time Bellamy is in behind, Ross Turnbull does well to claim his low cross. West Ham are dominant and look good for another goal.
    • 32' West Ham break following a 'Boro attack, and they are growing in confidence. Boa Morte crosses for Faubert but the Frenchman sees his shot blocked.
    • 28' Middlesbrough are having a lot of the ball but appear to lack a real goal threat, which is in stark contrast to the Hammers. When on the ball and going forward they look dangerous.
    • 23' And West Ham go close again. Riggott takes out Bellamy, who rolls the ensuing free-kick to James Collins for the centre-back to fire inches wide of the post.
    • 21' West Ham have the lead and Gareth Southgate will be disappointed about the manner in which it came about. Having had ample opportunities to clear the home side's defence looked on haplessly as the ball found its way to Mullins, via Bellamy and Boa Morte. The midfielder scuffed his first effort, but made no mistake with the second - rifling the ball past Turnbull.
    • 18' West Ham are looking dangerous on the break, especially Sears. Having earlier been a whisker away from getting on the end of Faubert cross the youngster turns provider, this time seeing his centre cut out.
    • 15' West Ham have a free-kick in a promising position after poor lunge from Wheater - they make little of it.
    • 12' The returning Bellamy looks lively, but his service thus far has been poor.
    • 9' West Ham have the first real chance of the half, and it's Sears. Picking the ball up 30 yards out, the youngster jinked his way past much of the 'Boro defence before dragging his shot wide of the far post.
    • 5' Both sides are now making inroads, and half chances. But nothing of real note thus far.
    • 3' The start has not been as boisterous as the weather, both teams appear to be feeling their way into the game - the Hammers particularly cautious.
    • 1' Andre Marriner gets the game underway, 'Boro will look to make it two wins on the bounce - a feat they have thus far failed to achieve this season. While the Hammers will be desperate to avoid a fifth straight defeat.
    • - West Ham line up with youngster Freddie Sears leading the attack whilst 'Boro keep the same side that beat City on Wednesday. West Ham: Green, Neill, Collins, Upson, Ilunga, Faubert, Collison, Mullins, Boa Morte, Bellamy, Sears. Middlesbrough: Turnbull, Wheater, Riggott, Pogatetz, Taylor, Aliadiere, O'Neill, Digard, Downing, Tuncay, Alves.
