28' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both West Ham United FC and Southampton FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
33' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering West Ham United FC that had 341 games and scored 462 goals.
34' The referee has no hesitation. Declan Rice is booked for West Ham United FC — Yellow card on 34.
39' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 39 minutes.
44' The 31-year-old James Ward-Prowse has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
46' The West Ham United FC bench stirs into life. Nikola Vlasic is withdrawn and Michail Antonio gets his opportunity.
49' What a strike from Michail Antonio! The score is 1-1.
54' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Ralph Hasenhuttl will be considering his options from the bench.

75' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nathan Redmond suffering a number of foals already.
80' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.

90' Southampton FC ring the changes. Oriol Romeu has done his job and it is now time for Ibrahima Diallo to step up.
