FULL-TIME: Saints 0-0 West Ham
What a frantic ending... 😅 Saints go agonisingly close to claiming all three points, as substitute Armando Broja hits the post and has a header cleared off the line, before West Ham's Michail Antonio is shown a late red card. In the end, both side settle for a share of the spoils.

OFF THE LINE! 😫
How close can Broja get without scoring?! Ward-Prowse's corner is met by the Albanian, but Declan Rice hacks it off the line to deny a late winner!
Five additional minutes...
We'll have another five minutes at the end of this one, and it's Saints doing all the attacking!

Referee David Coote halts a promising Saints attack as Ogbonna is down in the middle holding his head, prompting a vocal response from the home support.
Saints continue to press...

OFF THE POST! 😱
It's Broja again! The Hammers defence can't handle the youngster! The Albanian weaves past Ogbonna and goes for goal from the edge of the box, but his low strike cannons back off of the post!
Electric from Broja ✨
The striker storms past Ogbonna on the right wing and looks to find Elyounoussi in the middle, but Coufal does enough to prevent the winger getting on the end of it. Great play from Armando 👏
Into the final 15 ⏱

Back under way 😇
The second half gets up and running. COYS! 🔴⚪️
HALF-TIME: Saints 0-0 West Ham
We go in level at the break, with very little to separate the two sides at the halfway stage. Both teams have enjoyed spells of possession, but neither keeper is yet to truly be tested. A big second 45 ahead...
Djenepo drills over...
The resulting corner falls to Djenepo in the box, but with the ball bouncing his half-volley only flies over the bar.

Hammers hampered by Saints
The visitors enjoy a spell of possession, but are unable to find a way through a tightly packed Saints defence.
Tino almost catches Fabiański out...
Tino's cross from the right is overhit, but causes the visiting goalkeeper to back-track and claim the ball before hitting his own post on the way down.
Dangerous from Djenepo! 👏
The Malian winger cuts onto his right foot from the left and sees his curling effort flicked over the bar by Craig Dawson. It could've troubled Fabiański!
Air Romain ✈️
