Live Reporting

Phil Dawkes and Emlyn Begley

  1. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Matty Cash has a crack from long range but shoots well wide.

  2. SUBSTITUTION

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Leon Bailey, who hasn't made such a big impact on his first Premier League start, is replaced by Anwar El Ghazi.

  3. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Jarrod Bowen is picked out in space. He tries a pass, which is cut out and it comes back to him. This time he shoots but it's a simple save.

  4. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    YESSSSSSS. I've never seen this before.

    Jarrod Bowen hits the opposite corner flag from his corner and it stays in play.

    Villa clear though.

  5. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Declan Rice hammers a low free-kick around the wall and Emiliano Martinez tips it round the post with a good diving save.

    Tyrone Mings half-clears the corner and Pablo Fornals' shot is blocked... for another corner.

  6. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Manuel Lanzini goes for a volley and Ashley Young, trying to block the shot, is penalised for a foul.

    Free-kick in shooting country for West Ham.

  7. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    West Ham win a corner as Tomas Soucek is looking very interested in the centre.

    Jarrod Bowen's corner doesn't reach the Czech though and is cleared.

  8. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    John McGinn pumps a long ball down the right and Ashley Young is unlucky with the bounce as Aaron Cresswell cleans up.

    Villa are playing just as well with 10 men as they were with 11. Which admittedly isn't the biggest claim in the world.

  9. SUBSTITUTION

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Villa are having a decent spell right now so West Ham respond. Manuel Lanzini replaces Said Benrahma.

  11. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Aston Villa win a free-kick on the right wing. Ashley Young whips it in but it's headed away.

  12. 'Watkins has to occupy the whole back four'

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It is difficult for Villa, they've got a 4-4-1 and Ollie Watkins has got to occupy the whole West Ham back four.

  13. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    A lot of you on Twitter are suggesting Kortney Hause should have been sent off for Villa - and Ezri Konsa shouldn't.

    A game of opinions, as they say.

  14. 'It is going to be tough for Villa'

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    West Ham are a good side 11 v 11, so 11 v 10 is going to be tough. They'll keep shifting the ball, but Villa will get an opportunity.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Aston Villa go so close to an equaliser as Ollie Watkins heads off the crossbar from John McGinn's cross.

    Actually it was a fingertip save by Lukasz Fabianski onto the bar. Crucial save.

  16. 'Dean Smith had to do something'

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Now they need Tyrone Mings, and they will because Konsa has been Villa's best centre half over the last couple of years. It is a huge blow for them. Buendia is not happy but it was going to be either him or Leon Bailey. Dean Smith had to do something.

  17. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Ezri Konsa is the first Aston Villa player to receive a straight red card in the Premier League since Aly Cissokho in April 2016 against Watford.

  18. Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    It's a big ask for Aston Villa here, down to 10 men against Champions League chasers.

    Matty Cash hurls a long throw into the West Ham area but it's cleared.

  19. 'It is the right decision'

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Clinton Morrison
    Former Republic of Ireland striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

    It is harsh. He is trying to pull away, but it is a denial of a goalscoring opportunity and by the letter of the law that is the right decision.

  20. SUBSTITUTION

    Aston Villa 1-2 West Ham

    Tyrone Mings was left on the bench today but Villa need him now. Emi Buendia is replaced.

    Mings takes the armband from John McGinn.
