  • Live Commentary

    Time:90'
    • West Ham United
    • Aston Villa
    • 90'+5 And it's all over!! An extraordinary end to the match sees the youngster win it for West Ham!! West Ham are out of the bottom three! It ends West Ham 2 Aston Villa 1!!
    • 90'+4 AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!! With seconds remaining Scott Parker runs at the Villa defence...digs the ball out of his feet..finds Hines who squeezes it past Friedel!! 2-1!! West Ham lead!!
    • 90'+3 Wrong ball by Hines and Friedel has it.
    • 90'+2 Cleared by the home side and Scott Parker has won a throw.
    • 90'+1 Cleared as far as the 18-yard box!! Falls to Ashley Young!! Shoots!! Green saves to his right hand side!! Another corner!!
    • 90' There will be four minutes of added time as Villa win another corner.
    • 90' last minute. Dunne concedes a corner...taken quickly by Jimenez, looking for Noble but Reo-Coker gets there first.
    • 89' Sub by Zola. Franco is off and Luis Jimenez is on.
    • 88' We're in the last two minutes. Parker with the effort!! Pushed away by Friedel!!
    • 87' And the resulting free kick is wasted. The ball drifts out and Martin O'Neill brings off Carew to be replaced by Luke Young.
    • 86' And Beye is off!! Jonathan Spector runs at the Villa box and the ref has blown for the foul with West Ham in a great position. Second yellow for the Villa man but the Hammers are livid!!
    • 85' The free kick's floated to the back post. Agbonlahor with a half chance but that's wide.
    • 84' And now Franco's in the book! Clumsy challenge on Petrov.
    • 83' Parker tries to find Hines. Friedel is quick off the mark to claim that one.
    • 82' Headed by Upson..da Costa rolls it back to Green.
    • 81' Zola is looking pensive on the touchline as Franco's cross is too deep for Collison.
    • 80' We're in the last ten minutes. Parker looks for Collison, cut out by Petrov. The Hammers regain possession, snapshot comes in at the near post, saved by Friedel!
    • 78' Petrov tries to release Agbonlahor. It's blocked..and again West Ham look for Hines..tries a left foot shot and that's wide of Friedel's post! Worth a pop that one, but Friedel seemed to have it covered!
    • 76' Villa have it on the half way line. Reo-Coker's ball is cut out by Noble, Noble looks for Hines, that's just too long for the Hammers forward. Throw to Villa.
    • 75' The ball falls to Hines. tries to flick it over his shoulder but that's a Villa goal kick. Hines has looked a good choice to replace the injured Carlton Cole on this showing!
    • 74' Again Villa lose possession, the corner comes in, and straight out for a second corner.
    • 73' Sent forward, regained by West Ham. Hines picks it up, runs at the Villa backline, tries a shot and that's wide!
    • 72' Spector with the ball. Crosses it in but claimed by Friedel.
    • 70' Carew's fouled and it's a free kick to Villa. Ashley Young delivers it to the far post, but there's no one there and it's easy for Green.
    • 69' The free kick comes to nothing, but West Ham regain possession. Parker to Collison..to Spector, finds Franco..shoots, and that's over the top!!
    • 68' Agbonlahor is flagged offside. Taken quickly and Scott Parker is brought down by Petrov. Yellow card for the Villa man.
    • 66' Ashley Young with another great run, but that's a good tackle. West Ham counter...Hines has it and he wins another corner from Beye.
    • 64' But Villa have given it away. West Ham counter and have won a free kick. Noble delivers but that's a waste and Villa come away with it.
    • 63' But it's a corner to West Ham. Finds da Costa, fires wide!!
    • 62' West Ham with a good spell of possession. That's some six or seven passes. Faubert jinks his way through and the ball bobbles inches wide of Friedel's post with Parker stretching!!
    • 60' Hines and Dunne now battling for the ball. Dunne is pulling Hines' shirt off his back, but Hines is penalised!! Unbelievable decision that one!
    • 59' That's poor by da Costa. Another corner for Villa. In it comes, falls to Petrov in a similar position to his first half effort. Shoots! but it's blocked and there's a foul on Green.
    • 58' West Ham win it back from the goal kick. Launched in, looking for Hines...Friedel gathers.
    • 57' That's cleared by the Hammers, but that goal has probably made Gianfranco Zola's team talk completely redundant.
    • 56' Spector and Reo-Coker tussling for the ball. Reo-Coker goes down accompanied by a chorus of boos, but that's a Villa corner.
    • 55' Faubert with the cross now looking for Hines, headed over by the sub! That was a reasonable chance!
    • 53' What a stunning strike by Young! No wonder Green looks amazed!
    • 52' GOAL VILLA!! OUT OF NOTHING!! The ball finds Ashley Young on the corner of the West Ham box and he thumps an amazing curling strike into the corner of the net!! WHAT A STRIKE BY YOUNG!! 1-1! and what a start to the half!!
    • 51' And that's a foul by Scott Parker and a deserved yellow card.
    • 50' SAVED BY GREEN!! Ashley Young with the spot kick and Green saves to his left!! Great stop!! And it remains 1-0 to West Ham!!
    • 49' Looks like Da Costa went for the ball but the ref says he's climbed over the back of Collison. That looked a harsh decision!!
    • 49' Villa launch it forward. Manuel Da Costa has gone for the header, and the ref's given a penalty!!
    • 48' Villa win a throw. It finds its way all the way back to Friedel.
    • 47' Jack Collison tries to break down the Villa left..broken up by the Villa defence.
    • 46' And away we go!
    • 46' And the second half is just about to get underway. Sub for Villa. Nigel Reo-Coker is on for Emile Heskey - to a chorus of boos.
    • 45'+3 And that's the half time whistle. Martin O'Neill has to shepherd his angry players away from the ref. Quick thinking by the Villa boss because a red card may well have been brandished if that carried on!
    • 45'+2 AND VILLA ARE FURIOUS!! Ashley Young and James Collins are both booked for protesting!!
    • 45'+2 GOAL NOBLE!! Thumps the ball into the top of Brad Friedel's net. No chance for the keeper!! 1-0 West Ham!!
    • 45'+1 And Beye is yellow carded as Noble waits to take the spot kick.
    • 45'+1 Heskey now tries to find a way through the West Ham rearguard. It's cleared. Great counter!! Hines is played through into he box and he's brought down by Habib Beye!! PENALTY!!
    • 45' Hines has his first meaningful touch of the match. Wriggles down the left of the Villa box. There's two waiting in the area, but the sub is crowded out.
    • 44' Oooh! Awful delivery by Warnock! He was practically on the 18-yard line and thumps it deep into the Bobby Moore stand to jeers from the Hammers' faithful!
    • 42' Ashley Young now with a superb run. He's clattered by Parker and that'll be a Villa free kick. The ref has a quick word with Parker. There's no yellow card, but this is dangerous for West Ham. It's just outside the box.
    • 41' Sidwell tries to make progress down the Hammers' right. That's an uncompromising challenge by Scott Parker. No foul says the ref and Villa have a throw.
    • 39' Heskey finds Carew, turns the defender..gets his shot away from six yards!! Saved by Green!! Good save at the near post by Green, but if Carew had made proper contact on that, it might have been in the net!!
    • 38' Green clears his lines. Plenty of time for the Villa rearguard to knock it around their own box.
    • 37' Villa are pressing now. The loss of Cole has understandably affected the Hammers.
    • 36' In it comes, and that's safely out for a goal kick. Some relief for West Ham.
    • 35' And Villa have won ANOTHER corner. Stephen Warnock delivers but the ref pulls it back for a bit of pushing and shoving. Looked like Carew was the offender but Warnock has the opportunity to retake it.
    • 33' And Villa have won another corner. There'll be without Cole's presence as Heskey and Carew lurk in the box. Headed away by Franco and it's a throw to Villa.
    • 33' Parker tries to lift the Hammers, Franco making the run, but Villa step up and catch him offside.
    • 32' And there's the change. Zavon HInes comes on for the luckless Carlton Cole.
    • 30' Mark Noble put his head in his hands as soon as Cole went down. There's no way he's going to continue. Meanwhile Green hacks clear as Agbonlahor bears down.
    • 29' Franco now with a back heel looking for Noble, just fails to find his target. Faubert has it, looking for Cole but too long. And it looks like Cole may have pulled his hamstring!!
    • 28' West Ham coming forward. Guillermo Franco is muscled out. Agbonlahor on the counter tries to find John Carew but Mark Noble mops up.
    • 27' First showing from Ashley Young, beats Valon Behrami, gets the cross in and that's headed over by Agbonlahor. The Villa man just couldn't get the contact he wanted to trouble Robert Green.
    • 24' Carlton Cole is a bit isolated up front. That's another long ball loking for him, but the flag's up for offside.
    • 23' And now Villa have won a free kick. Blocked by Scott Parker - right in the family jewels!! No wonder he takes a deep breath!
    • 22' And now Agbonlahor with an effort on goal. Saved again by Green! The Hammers are rattled.
    • 21' In comes the corner...it falls to Stiliyan Petrov!! Thumping drive! Superbly tipped over by Green. That's a world-class save!!
    • 20' And now West Ham have given away a cheap corner. Julien Faubert with an awful pass to Green gives the keeper no chance of reaching that.
    • 19' Shocking delivery by Mark Noble, it's headed clear.
    • 18' And West Ham have won possession. The ball finds Spector. Good run and he's bundled over by Steve Sidwell. Free kick to West Ham in a good position!
    • 17' NOBLE!! he works his way into the box...beats James Collins and shoots!! Great save by Friedel!! Best chance of the game falls to the Hammers!!
    • 16' Heskey rises, but that's lumped away.
    • 15' Manuel da Costa looks for Cole again, but Villa come away with the ball. Finds Agbonlahor and Villa have the corner.
    • 14' West Ham again with the ball and Spector wins a throw for the hosts.
    • 13' West Ham regain possession, that's a long ball looking for Cole...cleared by the Villa backline.
    • 11' Good passing by West Ham...finds Scott Parker - who tries his luck from way out! But that's no threat to Brad Friedel who gathers.
    • 10' West Ham have slightly gone off the boil, but Carlton Cole has won a free kick just inside their own half.
    • 9' In comes the corner, it bounces around in the box and it's eventually cleared. Robert Green looked a bit indecisive there.
    • 8' And West Ham make the change. Ilunga is off, replaced by Jonathan Spector.
    • 8' Villa have won a corner. Scott Parker pushes it behind.
    • 7' The game resumes and Ilunga is getting his thigh strapped up. West Ham are down to ten men at the moment.
    • 6' The Hammers have it. Herita Ilunga has collided with Dunne and Ilunga is limping off. Not sure how serious it is at the moment. It may be a hamstring injury.
    • 5' Bright start here at Upton Park. End to end stuff.
    • 4' And Villa go straight up the other end, snapshot by Gabriel Agbonlahor and that's comfortable for Robert Green
    • 3' Carlton Cole now on the break...he's got a couple of yards on Richard Dunne, but that's great defending.
    • 2' Bright start by the Hammers and the chorus of "I'm forever blowing bubbles" rings out into the East London night sky.
    • 2' Villa get it away and that's a straight race between John Carew and Matthew Upson and Upson shepherds it out for a goal kick.
    • 1' Noble now with an effort and Villa again get it away.
    • 1' Jack Collison with an early effort and that's blocked by the Villa defence.
    • 1' And West ham get us away!
    • - And here come the teams!!
    • - And the Villa XI: Friedel, Beye, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Agbonlahor, Petrov, Sidwell, A. Young, Heskey, Carew. Subs: Delfouneso, Albrighton, Guzan, L.Young, Delph, Shorey, Reo-Coker.
    • - West Ham line up as: Green, Behrami, Upson, Faubert, Ilunga, Da Costa, Parker, Noble, Collison, Franco, Cole. Subs: Hines, Jimenez, Stanislas, Spector, Diamanti, Kurucz, Tomkins.
    • - The last time the teams met resulted in a 1-1 draw, but Villa haven't lost in their last six encounters with the Hammers, drawing three and winning the others by a narrow 1-0 scoreline.
    • - Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last four matches, but have drawn three of them. However, a win today would be Villa's 100th away victory in the Premier League.
    • - The Hammers have made their worst ever start to a Premier League campaign and are looking for their first win in nine matches.
    • - Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of tonight's Premier League match between West Ham and Aston Villa at Upton Park.
