FT Blackburn 1-5 West Ham. Payet inspires West Ham to a crushing win over Blackburn. Emenike also finds the net twice on his full debut. Those Hammers fans will enjoy their journey home from Lancashire.

GOAL! Blackburn 1-5 West Ham. Payet scores a brilliant individual goal. Yes, another one. He gets the ball on the halfway line, drives through the Rovers defence and finds the bottom corner with a sensational strike. It's officially a rout.
90'
Emenike has another goal ruled offside!
89'
West Ham torturing Rovers at the moment. The home fans are streaming out of the stadium, and the players probably wish they could do the same.

OFF THE POST! Emenike almost gets his hat-trick! Payet puts it on a plate for the striker, whose smart drag-back buys him some time in the box, but he shoots against the outside of the post.

GOAL! Blackburn 1-4 West Ham: Emenike gets another! he beats the offside trap, keeps his head to beat the keeper with a stepover and lashes the ball into the empty net from close range. Curtains for Blackburn.
83'
Lanzini shamlessly throws himself to the floor in the box looking for a penalty. Should be booked.
81'
Almost another for Emenike, but again the flag is up. Luckily for him it is, because Emenike put his shot wide from five yards out.

Rovers sub: Watt on, Brown off.

Not what Bilic needed after making those changes.

RED CARD: Kouyate is dimissed! Bilic is protesting after last man Kouyate appears to trip Henley as he was about to drive into the box on the break. Was there contact? Not conclusive, but the referee's mind is made up and Kouyate walks.
72'
Bilic making some changes to shore up his side and see out the win.

West Ham sub: Lanzini on, Obiang off.
66'
Ironically, that looked more offside than the one that was disallowed for offside two minutes before.

GOAL! Blackburn 1-3 West Ham: Emenike scores his first West Ham goal! Steele denies Antonio, but it's cleared to Kouyate, who passes to Emenike to tap in. Game over.

CHALKED OFF! West Ham think they've scored the third, but the flag is wrongly raised against Kouyate, who taps in at the far post. What is so hard about putting your flag up when the player is offside?

NOBLE CHANCE! Payet (who else?) rolls the ball into the midfielder's path, but he drags his shot just wide of the post. Almost the killer goal, that.

Blackburn sub: Jackson on, Conway off.
