    Time:90'
    • West Ham United
    • Fulham
    • 90' It's all over and the points are shared, but what was Johnson doing at teh end?
    • 90' MUST SCORE, NO! Fulham break forward, Johnson beats Green to the ball and has an open goal to aim at. He elects to cut inside and as a defender and Green get back, he drags his effort wide. What was that all about?
    • 90' GOAL WEST HAM! Heartbreak for Fulham as Stanislas drives in hope rather than expectation, it takes a wicked deflection and beats Schwarzer.
    • 90' A late corner for West Ham as Gera clears in front of Cole. The delivery is awful and Fulham lash it clear.
    • 90' The groans ring round Upton Park as Faubert makes a lung-burstnig run down the right but the pass he is chasing is too long.
    • 89' A chance for West Ham again, but Stanislas sees his shot fly over the top.
    • 87' Good keeping from Schwarzer as he comes through a crowd to punch clear.
    • 84' Dempsey is off and is replaced by Riise.
    • 84' Dempsey's landed on his shoulder and he does not look too good.
    • 82' Fulham throw on Johnson for Kamara. Kamara's put in a good shift.
    • 81' Stanislas shoots low again but this time the power is not there and it's easy for Schwarzer.
    • 80' A rare Fulham attack sees Green dive to his right to push away a curler from Dempsey.
    • 79' STanislas is afforded space on the left, he winds up and shoots hard from 25 yards and Schwarzer needs two grabs to gather it in.
    • 78' Cole cuts in on to his right foot, his shot is true but is deflected wide. MATCH GALLERY
    • 77' Tomkins strides forward from the back and is invited to shoot, he does not disappoint but the effort flies a yard wide.
    • 75' West Ham are enjoying a decent spell of possession and Fulham are dropping very deep.
    • 72' Changes for West Ham, Parker is off for Behrami and Hines is replaced by Stanislas.
    • 70' Diamanti loves a shot, he cuts in from the right but once again drags his shot from 20 yards wide of the near post.
    • 69' Faubert gives the linesman a mouthful after he is adjudged to have fouled Konchesky. He'd better watch his step.
    • 67' Chance for West Ham, Diamanti volleys into the ground and the ball spins a couple of yards wide.
    • 66' Nearly disaster for Fulham, a long ball sees Hughes head the ball back but Schwarzer had come off his line and the Aussie had to turn and gather.
    • 63' No danger after all, as Jimenez's free kick clatters into the wall.
    • 62' Cole is felled on the edge of the box, danger...
    • 60' Faubert picks up a caution and at the moment West Ham are in disarray.
    • 58' GOAL FULHAM! The ten men are in front. Green goes for the corner but gets nowhere near it and Gera arrives at the back post to volley home.
    • 57' Dempsey wins a free kick off Upson, Konchesky's drive takes a wicekd deflection off the wall and Green has to readjust and turn the ball round the post.
    • 55' A snap-shot from Dempsey on the edge of the area, but he does not get over the ball and it drifts high and not very handsome.
    • 54' West Ham spring forward and Faubert delivers a deep cross that Pantsil does well to head clear of danger.
    • 49' Great feet from Diamanti who slides between two Fulham defenders, but once again the finish is weak and Schwarzer saves.
    • 46' GOAL FULHAM! Murphy makes no mistake as he sends Green the wrong way. What a start to the second half for Fulham.
    • 46' PENALTY FULHAM! Upson gets in a mess trying to deal with Kamara and brings him down.
    • 46' Fulham get the second half underway.
    • - The players are back out and Fulham are throwing on Chris Baird.
    • 45' Half time and the Hammers are in front, but the talking point is that sending off. Roy Hodgson has a face like thunder.
    • 45' West Ham are searching for that killer second and Diamanti races on to a square ball and slices his shot wide.
    • 45' Hines is close again, cutting in from the left and slashing his shot a yard wide of the far post.
    • 45' Brilliant play from West Ham. Parker threads a pass to Hines, he picks out Noble in the box but his shot lacks venom.
    • 41' RED CARD! Dikgacoi is off and from the sketchy replay i've just seen it appeared he and Parker had a coming together. I'll do some digging on that at half time.
    • 39' It's all teeing off. Parker is cautioned and Dowd is speaknig to his assistants.
    • 37' Cole displays the acceleration of Usain Bolt as he bursts past Hangeland, but his shot is charged down. Cole has always had great potential but he now looks to be fulfilling it.
    • 35' GOOD STRIKE! The ball is half-cleared to Parker and he sets himself and shoots low through a crowd and Schwarzer makes a decent save.
    • 34' A moment of quality at last from Fulham, Kamara eases past Parker and shoots on goal from 25 yards but Green is well placed to make the save.
    • 34' The Hammers threaten again, as Parker breaks past a couple of players and finds Cole in teh box. He is crowded by Fulham players and slices his shot just wide.
    • 31' Brilliant play from Jimenez in the middle of the park, but his pass to Cole is just wide of the mark.
    • 28' Noble bursts into a gap made by Cole but slips when about to pull the trigger and the ball fies wide.
    • 26' Cole is proving a real handful for Fulham, he muscles his way in but is just unable to take the ball down.
    • 23' BIG CHANCE! Johnson gets in behind Upson and gets a sight of goal but drags his effort a foot wide.
    • 19' Chance again, Tomkins finds space at the back post from a corner but heads the ball wide.
    • 16' GOAL WEST HAM! Diamanti flicks the free kick in to the danger area, Cole climbs high to head the ball into the corner. The man Cole is on fire.
    • 15' A booking for Hangeland who brings down Faubert with a crunching tackle.
    • 14' Fuham are seeing plenty of the ball, but the final ball is lacking. Cagey stuff in the capital.
    • 11' The Hammers work the ball short along the box to Diamanti but he gets under the ball and it flies over the top.
    • 10' A bright passing move from West Ham and Pantsil brings down Ilunga on the edge of the box.

    • 7' A corner for Fulham, but it's wasted by Murphy as Green gathers with ease.
    • 5' Gera flashes a shot in on goal but Green saves with ease.
    • 4' Strong defending from Upson who shrugs Johnson off the ball and clears.
    • 3' Parker is helped to his feet but he looks a little groggy. He's okay though, he's a tough fella.
    • 2' A clash of heads between Parker ansd Dempsey. Parker comes off worst and is receiving treatment.
    • 1' Early chance for West Ham, the ball is lofted in to Cole who takes the ball on his chest 20 yards out and fires a volley just over the top.
    • 1' West Ham get the game underway.
