    • West Ham United
    • Newcastle United
    • - Don't forget you can watch highlights of this match, along with every Premier League game, from 00:01 on Monday morning (UK only).
    • 90+3' The final whistle finally goes, and those still in the ground voice their discontent at their team's limp performance.
    • 90' Three minutes are to be added on at the end of the match.
    • 89' Carroll charges forward and fires a low strike wide from the edge of the area.
    • 87' Manuel da Costa goes for the acrobatic effort but he miscues his shot and Newcastle have a goal kick.
    • 86' Jose Enrique is penalised for a foul on Obinna wide on the right. This could be the chance the Hammers were waiting for...
    • 85' The crowd are really beginning to get on the home team's back now. Green makes a routine save, but a third could well happen.
    • 83' Ameobi's strike is deflected wide for antoher Magpies corner. Green punches the set piece clear.
    • 82' Obinna clears Barton's corner at the second time of asking. West Ham are in danger of conceding a third here. They seem to have just switched off.
    • 81' Jose Enrique weaves his way forward before having a shot defelcted behind for a corner.
    • 80' Cole controls a diagonal ball and turns to head ofr goal, but he's caught offside.
    • 79' Upton Park has gone very quiet. There seems to be little belief among the players or the fans that they can battle back and salvage something from this game.
    • 78' It is 14 months since West Ham last lost a PL match after scoring first – a 2-1 home defeat to Tottenham in August 2009. On that occasion Carlton Cole also gave them the lead. (Infostrada)
    • 76' West Ham substitution: Pablo Barrera replaces Valon Behrami.
    • 74' West Ham struggle to clear the corner before Ameobi heads wide of the near post.
    • 73' Barton pinches the ball from Noble, drives forward and has his shot blocked by Gabbidon. Corner to Newcastle.
    • 72' There have currently been no away wins in the Premier League today. It is eight months since the last matchround with no away victory – there were seven home wins and three draws on February 9/10, 2010. (Infostrada)
    • 71' Behrami hauls down Jonas Gutierrez. It's hard to see how West Ham can get back into this now.
    • 70' Andy Carroll's fifth goal of the season - and his first since August - means West Ham have it all to do now.
    • 69' GOAL!! Barton swings in another teasing delivery and Carroll is on hand to head Newcastle into the lead!
    • 69' The corner is headed clear and West Ham push up, but they cannot make anything of their break forward.
    • 68' Ilunga heads Barton's ball behind for a corner.
    • 67' West Ham substitution: Benni McCarthy replaces Piquionne.
    • 66' Ameobi is caught by Da Costa out on the left. A clumsy tackle. This is a promising position for a set piece from Barton.
    • 65' Piquionne is hobbling off the pitch. West Ham have already lost Upson, can they afford to lose another player?
    • 64' Piquionne is now down on the turf holding his ankle after landing awkwardly from that header. He's being treated on the pitch.
    • 63' Noble sends a high ball up for Piquionne, but the Frenchman can't pick out a target with his nod down.
    • 62' West Ham are struggling to get any meaningful possession inside the Newcastle half. The longer this goes on, the more nervous the players will get, and the more it will favour Newcastle.
    • 60' A good challenge from Gabbidon stops Carroll getting his shot away on the turn.
    • 59' Three of West Ham's last four matches have finished 1-1. (Infostrada)
    • 58' Ameobi muscles his way past Gabbidon and into the area, but the referee blows his whistle for a foul on the Hammers defender.
    • 57' Ameobi fires another tame effort from distance that rolls easily for Green.
    • 56' Ilunga's first chance to get up the left and support the attack sees him curl a cross from deep high and out for a goal kick.
    • 55' After a little lull in tempo following Upson's exit, Newcastle are the ones beginning to apply pressure again.
    • 53' West Ham substitution: Herita Ilunga replaces Upson
    • 52' Upson missed last weekend's draw at Wolves with a neck strain. He's walking off now, but no one seems sure who will replace him!
    • 51' Jose Enrique's cross from deep is no good for Carroll. Upson is down on the ground. His team-mates signal to the bench for a substitution.
    • 50' Newcastle are one win short of 250th PL victories – they will become only the seventh club to reach this milestone in the division. (Infostrada)
    • 49' Ameobi lines up a strike but loses his footing at the crucial moment.
    • 48' Mark Noble has taken a knock to the back of the head from Danny Simpson's knee. The Hammers midfielder walks off for treatment and can rejoin play.
    • 47' Nolan tries to repay the favour from the first half by nodding down Barton's cross into Carroll's path, but the striker can't get the same clean strike on the effort.
    • 46' Right away Obinna gets in a decent cross that Piquionne just can't get a clean header on to.
    • 46' Newcastle kick off to get the second half underway. A point is not really much good for either side, so let's see who is bold enough to go for the win.
    • 45+3' Newcastle can't create a chance fromt he corner, and the referee blows for half time.
    • 45+2' Newcastle set up camp around the edge of the West Ham box. Eventualy Carroll earns them a corner.
    • 45+1' Two minutes of added time to be played at the end of the half.
    • 45' Newcastle take their turn to attack now, but Gutierrez can't wriggle his way through two defenders in the box.
    • 44' Krul comes off his line confidently to claim Noble's floated cross.
    • 43' Upson leaps but so does Carroll and the header for goal is blocked and cleared.
    • 42' Obinna fires a ball across the face of goal which is blocked for a corner.
    • 41' There's a good battle in midfield developing now. Neither side can grab the initiative as the clock ticks down to half time.
    • 40' West Ham are getting back into this match now. Obinna's arrival seems to have lifted the whole team.
    • 39' Obinna rampages down the left again, but this time he's caught offside as he latches on to Noble's pass.
    • 38' Obinna with more skill in the area before laying the ball back for Parker to strike over the bar!
    • 37' West Ham have scored at least two goals in five of their last six Premier League home games against Newcastle. (Opta)
    • 36' Obinna beats his man on the halfway line and surges down the left wing. He jinks this way and then that way inside the Newcastle box boefre firing a low ball across the six-yard box that Coloccini just manages to steer away from Cole!
    • 34' West Ham will climb out of the bottom three with a win here, while Newcastle can move five points clear of the relegation zone. Premier League table
    • 33' There's a break in play as the referee has to inspect the ball, after Jose Enrique complains it's not pumped up enough.
    • 32' Obinna has been quieter so far today in his midfield role, but his endeavours have won him a corner, which Krul claims well in a crowded penalty area.
    • 30' With half an hour this match has already delivered two goals. Don't be surprised if we see a couple more. In both the 07/08 and 08/09 seasons, the two league meetings between these two clubs produced eight goals in total.
    • 29' The Hammers are unbeaten in four matches. This is West Ham manager Avram Grant’s longest unbeaten run as a manager since his time at Chelsea when he was unbeaten in his final 21 PL matches from December 2007 to May 2008. (Infostrada)
    • 28' The Argentina winger is hopping his way to the touchline to continue receiving treatment now. Play resumes.
    • 27' Gutierrez remains down after a clash with Parker. He's clutching his leg now. He looks in real agony.
    • 26' Piquionne heads high and iwde after meeting Noble's free-kick.
    • 25' Newcastle's performance level has been rising since just before the opener. It's almost as if West Ham never scored.
    • 24' Nolan's fourth goal of the season was set up by his new room-mate Carroll.
    • 23' GOAL!! Carroll nods down Barton's cross into the path of Nolan, who sweeps a crisp low finish into the far corner giving Green no chance!
    • 22' West Ham have been saved by their own woodwork more than any other side this season, nine times. (Opta)
    • 21' Carroll jumps with Green and makes him drop his catch, and the referee doesn't like it. Free-kick to West Ham.
    • 20' Coloccini again gets the better of Cole, this time beating him to a header.
    • 19' Cole latches on to a decent ball forward from Jacobsen, but he is penalised for the way he tries the wrest the ball from Coloccini.
    • 18' West Ham clear the first ball in and as the second cross comes Coloccini thinks he should have a penalty from Cole! The officials are not interested.
    • 17' Gutierrez chips in a ball for Carroll that Da Costa is equal to. Tiote lines up a strike from distance that deflects off Parker for a corner.
    • 16' Ameobi sends in a low ball from the byline that Upson clears.
    • 15' Wes tham have been rewarded for their bright start with a goal, but now Newcastle are applying the pressure once again. The Hammers are holding their shape well though.
    • 14' Cole has ended a run of 174 days without a PL goal - his longest wait for a goal in three years since a 274-day run from January to October 2007. (Infostrada)
    • 13' That's Carlton Cole's first goal of the season in over 500 minutes of first-team action.
    • 12' GOAL!! Great long ball over the top from Noble for Piquionne, who spins and fires a low pass across the box for Cole to slide in and score!
    • 11' Guteirrez charges down Rob Green as the keeper goes to clear a back pass. The England keeper than outjumps Carroll to catch a high ball. Newcastle starting to get into this match now.
    • 10' There have been exactly four goals scored in the last five Premier League matches between West Ham and Newcastle. (Opta)
    • 9' First period of sustained possession for Newcastle in the West ham half, but it ends with Simpson's wayward cross from deep. Goal kick to the Hammers.
    • 8' Noble plays Cole into space out wide. The striker plays a square ball across to Piquionne, who draws a good save from Krul... the offside flag is up, it wouldn't have counted anyway.
    • 7' Cole goes down inside the area and the crowd want a penalty... the officials saw that Cole was tugging on Williamson's shirt, and the foul goes against West Ham.
    • 6' Newcastle have won only one Premier League away game in October since 2003. (Opta)
    • 5' Cole and Piquionne combine inside the Newcastle box but the former gets the ball trapped under his feet and Newcastle can clear.
    • 4' Piquionne picks his moment and his cross perfectly to aim for Cole at the far post.. Danny Simpson does very well to get in ahead of the striker!
    • 3' Jonas Gutierrez is fouled by Piquionne on the left wing. Coloccini has come up for the set piece... Barton's ball is nooded down but then cleared by a West Ham defender.
    • 2' Tiote bodychecks Noble in the centre circle, just to let him know he's there early doors.
    • 1' The match at Upton Park is underway!
    • 17:30 Just before kick-off, there is a minute's applause for Malcolm Allison and Eddie Bailey, who both passed away recently.
