90'+3
SHOULD DO BETTER
Ings fails to connect with a teasing Bowen cross - and manager David Moyes has his head in his hands! Final chance tonight?
TONIGHT'S PLAYER OF THE MATCH?

NO ONE'S THERE!
Bowen is furious as none of his team-mates can get on the end of his devilish ball across the face of goal. Ings puts his hands up to apologise.
83'
SHOULD BE GAME OVER!
Benrahma bursts forward down the left, playing a give-and-go with a team mate as he drives into the box. He should put the game beyond doubt but leans back and fails to hit the target with his shot.

AZ ALKMAAR SUB
And for the visitors, Mihailovic takes the place of Van Brederode.

PENDULUM HAS SWUNG
The momentum has shifted to West Ham and the home side are applying pressure on AZ now. The fans have found their voice, too. Still plenty of time for a winner.

PENALTY TO WEST HAM!
Bowen is caught in the face by AZ goalkeeper Ryan while challenging aerially and the referee has no option other than to point to the spot.
He also gets a yellow card for his trouble.
61'
JUST WIDE!
That's more like it from West Ham! Paqueta wins his header, flicking it into the path of Bowen, who cuts inside and fires a shot towards the goalkeeper's near post - but it's just wide.
