53'
West Brom have a free-kick and Pereira's threatening cross is headed clear by Soucek. The Brazilian's crosses have been deadly this evening!
51'
Liverpool are 2-0 up against Burnley which puts them into fourth, leapfrogging Leicester also on 66 points thanks to their superior goal difference as it stands. West Ham occupy the final Europa League spot on 60 points, one point ahead of Tottenham who lost to Aston Villa earlier this evening.
49'
JUST WIDE! Fornals curls an effort looking for the top corner from the edge of the box, but he lifts it just over the bar! That was a good chance and it was agonisingly close to going in.
47'
West Brom have an early corner and yet again Pereira's cross is curling into the net, but Randolph tips over before referee Oliver blows for a foul on the goalkeeper by Bartley.

HALF-TIME!
An entertaining first half comes to a close. Soucek has scored an own goal and at the correct end to ensure we go into the break level. Keep it here for second half updates!

GOAL? Right on the stroke of half-time West Ham level and it's Soucek who stabs in from point-blank range! Benrahma's squared pass finds the Czech midfielder and he taps in... but was he offside? VAR is checking it.
45'
Liverpool will be moving into the top four as it stands on 66 points, seven ahead of West Ham. The Hammers must get all three points tonight if they are to stand any chance of securing a Europa League spot.
43'
Fornals' shot is blocked before Cresswell flights a cross in looking for Soucek, but he's offside as he heads wide. The Czech international has had a tricky evening.
40'
Lingard cuts in from the left flank and curls a shot looking for the bottom orner but Johnstone parries behind for a corner. Moments ago referee Oliver books Yokuslu for a late sliding challenge.

West Brom have a corner and Gallagher takes but Ogbonna heads clear. West Ham counter and Antonio sprints down the left before curling a ball into the box. He finds Fornals and he gets a shot away but it's blocked before Soucek fires well over.
36'
The following corner is played short and then whipped in by Pereira, but Coufal heads clear at the far post with Bartley breathing down his neck. This time the corner from Gallagher is headed clear at the near post by that man Coufal again.
34'
Ogbonna is handed his fifth booking of the season for fouling Robson-Kanu just outside the box and West Brom have a free-kick in a very dangerous position. Phillips and Townsend are standing over it. The latter hits it straight into the wall... but it comes straight out to Pereira in the box and he curls an effort on goal which deflects off Cresswell and is tipped over by Randolph! A good strike and a great save.

It's been a very open, entertaining first half and West Ham are still very much in this. Both sets of players look really up for it tonight in front of the vocal supporters.
30'
Cresswell's dangerous cross is cleared behind for a corner. It's taken quickly but comes to nothing as West Brom's backline hold firm.
29'
The home fans loved that. It was a very dangerous cross and essentially the power, aided by the deflection off Soucek, carried it past Randolph. It looks it will be given as a Soucek own goal as his touch altered the direction of the cross, albeit only slightly. It means West Ham are now five points off fifth-placed Liverpool as it stands.
26'
Furlong's cross into the area towards the near post is cleared behind by Ogbonna under considerable pressure. GOAL!!! Pereira's powerful cross from the corner goes straight into the net!!! His cross comes off the top of Soucek's head and gets the better of Randolph! West Brom lead!

Robson-Kanu nods his header onto Phillips. It's played out wide to Pereira on the right before he passes back to Furlong to get a first-time cross in. Maitland-Niles is there waiting to head on goal but Coufal clears.
22'
Robson-Kanu tees up Pereira in space from 25-yards out, but his left-footed strike floats wide of Randolph's left post. Pereira already has ten goals and six assists in the Premier League this season which is not bad at all for a team who have been relegated.
20'
Lingard in space dinks a ball out wide to Coufal. He plays a cross into the area looking for his compatriot Soucek but Bartley clears behind for a corner. Dawson attempts an audacious overhead kick against his former club but he gets it all wrong, which the West Ham fans enjoyed, and West Brom clear their lines.
