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.
Red Card for Michail Antonio (West Ham United)
It's a late dismissal for the visitors, as Antonio picks up a second yellow for a late challenge on Djenepo.
Yellow Card for Mohammed Salisu (Southampton)
Salisu picks up a late booking.
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!
Frustration as the ref halts play...
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...
Livramento swings in yet another cross, but Elyounoussi's attempt is deflected and it gives Ward-Prowse the chance to swing in a corner.
I M P A C T 👊
Armando Broja has revitalised Saints' attack in the closing stages.
Diallo fires over...
Saints are flying forward now and it's Diallo who's next to go close. Livramento's cross picks out the Frenchman, but his shot on the turn is over the bar.
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 ⏱
We enter the final quarter-of-an-hour with both sides pushing for the opener. Buckle in, Saints fans! 😬
Yellow Card for Declan Rice (West Ham United)
Rice cynically brings down Livramento as he looks to drive through the West Ham midfield on the halfway line and is cautioned.
Yellow Card for Jack Stephens (Southampton)
The Saints defender is cautioned for his part in the coming together with Antonio.
Yellow Card for Michail Antonio (West Ham United)
The West Ham striker has an off-the-ball tussle with Jack Stephens, which results in the pair being shown yellow cards.
Great stop, Macca! 👏
Coufal's cross from the right fails to be cleared and falls to Bowen on the volley, but his strike is well-tipped over by McCarthy.
Armstrong nips in...
Good movement from Adam Armstrong in the middle, who comes from nowhere to get a head to Perraud's cross, but it flies a yard or two over the bar.
Soucek heads over
The Hammers midfielder rises highest in the middle to meet a cross, but his looping header lands on the roof of the net.
Warming up 📈
Early signs in the second half that the game could become end-to-end, with both sides enjoying early chances.
Redmond with a chance...
Saints then hit West Ham on the break, with Armstrong spotting the run of Redmond on the left. After having his first strike blocked, the winger then blazes over the bar from an acute angle.
Bowen's corner causes havoc
The winger's in-swinging corner somehow misses everyone in the middle, with Ward-Prowse on hand to hack away the danger...
Antonio denied by McCarthy!
The visitors catch Saints on the break with Benrahma laying the ball off to Antonio. After engineering half-a-yard of space, the striker's low strike is kept out by a diving McCarthy at his near post.
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.
What a ball, Romain 👏
Perraud whips in a delicious delivery from the left, but no one is close enough to connect in the middle and Cresswell sweeps the ball behind for a corner.
In a battle ⚔️
There's very little between the two teams so far, with chances remaining at a premium.
McCarthy claims 👐
The resulting corner is first cleared by Stephens, with Declan Rice's cross then claimed by Alex McCarthy to bring an end to the danger.
Bowen denied ❌
Engineering a bit of room on the edge of the box Jarrod Bowen decides to shoot, but his strike is deflected for a corner by Jack Stephens.
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 ✈️
Romain Perraud gets up above Jarrod Bowen to win a header.
Solid Salisu 💪
The Saints defender wins a free-kick off of Michail Antonio over by the corner flag. What a battle that's evolving into!
Cresswell blazes over
Aaron Cresswell's free-kick is blocked by the wall, with the rebound being wildly blazed over the bar by the full-back.
Yellow Card for Oriol Romeu (Southampton)
The midfielder is shown a yellow card for the challenge, too.
Free-kick in a dangerous area...
West Ham are awarded a free-kick right on the edge of the box, as Oriol Romeu is adjudged to have fouled Saïd Benrahma.
Stephens intercepts ❌
A dangerous Hammers counter ends with Jarrod Bowen looking for Michail Antonio in the middle, but Jack Stephens is perfectly placed to cut out the danger on the penalty spot.
Looking sharp, boss 😎
The waistcoat is back out for Ralph!
A change in shape 🧮
Ralph Hasenhüttl appears to have deviated from his usual 4-2-2-2 system, with Adam Armstrong on his own through the middle with Nathan Redmond and Moi Elyounoussi supporting on either flank.
Elyounoussi threatens...
Some good play from the hosts who pass it around nicely before picking out Moi Elyounoussi in the box, but his dangerous drilled cross is hacked away by Aaron Cresswell.
🎶 Tino, Tino! 🎶
Tino Livramento in action after earning his first England Under-21 cap in midweek.
An early strike from Arma 💥
The first shot on target comes from Adam Armstrong, as his low drive from just inside the box is gathered by Łukasz Fabiański.
We're up and running! 👊
The ball is rolling at St Mary's... COME ON YOU SAINTS!
🎶 On when the Saints... 🎶
Loud and proud support from the St Mary's faithful as the teams walk out onto the pitch.
