    Time:90'
    • West Ham United
    • Everton
    • 90+5 The final whistle goes, and it's not good news for the Hammers. They remain in 18th place, one point from safety.
    • 90+3' Franco does brilliantly to knock the ball over his marker and get through on goal... the flag is up for offside.
    • 90+2' Parker knocks a ball across goal that Franco just can't get to before Howard slides in to collect and hold.
    • 90' The Hammers have five additional minutes to salvage something from this match.
    • 90' More possession around the final third for West Ham, but Behrami knocks a ball down the channel out of play.
    • 88' Yakubu shields the ball by the West Ham corner flag, but not for very long. The Hammers launch another counter, but they're held in midfield.
    • 86' West Ham are still throwing men forward, but could be vulnerable on the break. One long ball forward is for Yakubu but Spector tidies up nicely.
    • 85' Everton have a corner now. Headed well clear by Upson. West Ham luanch the counter attack. Everton resist but the Hammers retain possession. The move ends with Diamanti firing into the crowd.
    • 83' Hines is up and can continue.
    • 81' The Hammers have a corner. The ball ends up in the arms of Howard but Hines stays down. He's receiving treatment on the pitch now.
    • 80' Diamanti toe pokes an eoffrt on goal that is wide of the target. Howard looked like he had it covered.
    • 78' Hines is called up for controlling the ball with his arm as well as his chest in the Everton box.
    • 77' Handbags alert! There's a bit of aggro after Cahilll barges Behrami over and the Swiss reacts by dragging him down too! The referee comes in and calms things down, but keeps his cards in his pocket.
    • 76' Diamanti STRIKES... Another good save from Tim Howard.
    • 76' Yobo is the fifth Everton player to be booked after tripping Hines as he chased after yet another ball over the top. Another good set piece opportunity for the Hammers here...
    • 75' David Moyes brings on Lucas Neill to face his old club. Gosling is the player to come off.
    • 74' Wave after wave of Hammers attacks now. Baines diverts the ball into the path of HINES... well saved by Howard!
    • 73' Hines is in behind Yobo and onside... he shoots wide! The youngster holds his head in his hands! That was a big chance for West Ham.
    • 72' Yakubu rolls his marker and fires on the turn... A routine catch for Green in the end.
    • 70' Diamanti cuts back in from the right and goes for the curling left-footer for the far post, but it's over the bar.
    • 69' Parker is putting in a real all-action display, and he meets his match in Cahill as he barges his way into the area.
    • 67' West Ham are throwing it all at Everton. They don't want to go into the international break in the bottom three.
    • 66' This match has really come alive now. Heitnga is booked for a foul on Parker. Everton break following the free-kick but nobody can get on the end of Cahill's ball from the left.
    • 65' GOAL!! West Ham hit straight back! Diamanti chips a ball over the top for Stanislas, who lifts it over Howard and Tony Hibbert comes charging back but can only swipe his clearance into the roof of the net!
    • 64' GOAL!! Everton have plenty forward and Yakubu finds Gosling on the right in space. The first shot is saved but it rebounds right to the youngster, who makes no mistake with his second strike!
    • 63' Behrami in the thick of it again as he combines with Diamanti to bring down Cahill. Everton once more fail to make full use of a set piece.
    • 62' Stanislas has time to control and strike from distance... the low shot whizzes past the foot of the post with Howard beaten.
    • 60' Yakubu charges down the left flank and is felled from behind by Behrami... no foul says the referee, much to the striker's annoyance.
    • 58' West Ham play a short corner to Parker on the edge of the box and the Hammers skipper shoots... Curled just wide of the far top corner!
    • 56' Faubert gives away a free-kick deep on the left. Baines sends it in but its a disappointing delivery.
    • 55' Zola brings on Diamanti for Jimenez, while Moyes throws on Yakubu in place of the goalscorer Saha.
    • 54' Great back-tracking from Fellaini there just as West Ham were beginning to lay siege to the Everton goal.
    • 53' Jimenez chases the long ball forward and tries to dink it over Howard, but he was under pressure from both centre-backs.
    • 51' Bright start from the Hammers at the start of the hlaf, but they are still being kept at bay on the edge of Everton's area.
    • 50' Hines battles away like a trooper after losing the ball int he Everton box, but to no avail.
    • 49' Fellaini is a tad unfortunate to go into the book here. Behrami played himself into trouble and barged into the Belgian as he went down. The referee points out Fellaini had made several other fouls previously, but that one was harsh.
    • 47' Hibbert goes flying in on Hines and picks up a booking.
    • 47' The cross is floated to the far post and headed wide by Jimenez.
    • 46' Stanislas makes an instant impact as his cross is put behind for a corner.
    • 46' The second half has kicked off!
    • HT An attacking change by Gianfranco Zola at half-time, as Junior Stanislas replaces Jack Collison.
    • 45+1' The whistle goes to end the first half, with Louis Saha's strike the difference between the two sides at the moment.
    • 45+1' Manuel da Costa is the man to fire the dead ball for the Hammers, and he does... high and into the crowd.
    • 45' chance for West Ham as they win a corner. Parker takes it short to Jimenez, who forces another. This time Rodwell concedes a free-kick in a central area, and gets a booking for it.
    • 43' Everton are the ones putting the pressure on as the half draws to a close and they win another corner. It's cleared but the second ball comes in high and falls for CAHILL... the Australian tried to volley it on the turn, but guides the ball back to Green.
    • 42' Saha rises to meet the corner with a header that bounces wide of the near post!
    • 41' Spector turns the ball behind for another Everton corner.
    • 39' Everton come forward and Gosling fancies his chances from distance... into the Upton Park crowd.
    • 38' Jimenez to STRIKE... the shot deflects off the wall and loops up into the air. It's simple catch for Howard in the end.
    • 37' Another West Ham attack, and this time Everton can't play themselves out of danger. Fellaini bundles over Franco and the Hammers have a free-kick in a promising area for the shot.
    • 36' Leighton Baines has taken a blow to the face. The left-back should be ok to continue.
    • 34' Distin has kept Jimenez pretty quiet thus far, and the French defender comes over to stop the forward in his tracks at the expense of a throw.
    • 33' Fellaini goes over in midfield and Everton have a free-kick. It's worked out to Gosling, and the youngster's cross is caught by Green.
    • 31' As it was before the goal, West Ham are enjoying most of the possession. They seem preoccupied with trying to get the ball over the top for Hines, but Everton aren't giving him the chance to run.
    • 29' Fellaini goes into the back of Parker and concedes the free-kick. Those two players both love a booking, the clash between them in midfield will be key.
    • 28' That's Saha's 7th goal in 10 league games this season.
    • 27' GOAL!! Saha drills a clinical low strike right into the corner to give Everton the lead! Green was rooted to the spot - he had no chance!
    • 25' West Ham come again but this time the offside flag is up against Hines.
    • 24' Hibbert fouls Franco and West Ham have a good set piece chance fromt he left wing. The delivery comes in... punched clear by Howard.
    • 23' Distin sends Behrami tumbling in the Everton area, but it was a good tackle.
    • 22' Faubert tries to dig out a cross which Baines blocks for a throw. Second time round the cross comes in but there aren't any Claret shirts around to get on the end of it.
    • 20' Hines hares away as he looks to get on the end of a through ball. Howard comes charging off his line but it's Yobo who nips in to take the ball away from hines and clear.
    • 18' Scott Parker wriggles his way past Yobo at the byline and his cross/shot is gathered at the near post by Howard.
    • 17' Nonne of the Toffees players in the box can get a touch on it, and West Ham clear. The visitors are getting into this match a bit now.
    • 16' Gosling wins Everton a throw in the final third. Collison turns it behind for a corner.
    • 15' Cahill fights for space by the West Ham corner but Faubert gets the better of him.
    • 13' Everton have men movign forward as Gosling cuts in and chips a ball over the defence, but it's too high and goes for a throw.

    • 11' Gosling is down in a heap from a challenge by Spector.
    • 9' West Ham have got Everton under pressure here. The Toffees are struggling to get out of their own half.

    • 6' Everton trying their best play their way thorugh, but so far the balls in the final third are all running to Green.
    • 4' Jimenez sends forward a through ball for Hines to latch on to. He tries to jink his way through the Everton defenders but they're having none of it. They will have to be on their guard against the tricky youngster.
    • 3' Everton have a free-kick from deep on the left. Yobo goes up for it, aines will take. West Ham clear the initial ball, and the second delivery ends in the hands of Green.
