    It was a good chance for John McGinn. All he had to do was direct it because it was a free header.

    Villa push for an immediate response but John McGinn's glancing header is wide from Matt Targett's cross.

    He has been brilliant, Emi Martinez, but I have to question him over this goal. He has to save that. He has not moved his feet quick enough.

    Declan Rice

    Villa's defenders let Said Benrahma move in too easily - no pressure - and he picks out Declan Rice about 25 yards out.

    Rice just lets it roll across and hits a low bouncing first-time effort which goes in off the inside of the post.

    Emiliano Martinez saw it late, or so he says.

    The mood does seem to have lifted a bit at Villa Park.

    That's where Emi Buendia wants to go. It is poor defending from Pablo Fornals but a great finish from Ollie Watkins. Game on.

    Ashley Young has come on with his experience and been excellent for Villa, helping to turn this around.

    Michail Antonio almost restores West Ham's lead immediately but his shot is tipped over by Emi Martinez at the near post.

    Ollie Watkins

    A big goal for Ollie Watkins and Villa.

    John McGinn plays a reserve ball to Emi Buendia, who brushes past Pablo Fornals and pulls it back to Watkins, who scores from near the penalty spot.

    Lukasz Fabianski gets a toe to it but can't keep it out.

    Why not? Matty Cash has got the ability to put it into the top corner from there.

    Only Villa's second chance of the game. Matty Cash controls a mis-placed West Ham pass about 30 yards out and half-volleys it well over the bar. Ambitious.

    Lukasz Fabianski flaps at the corner but does enough to get it away.

    Ollie Watkins is against Angelo Ogbonna and Kurt Zouma. He does not want to get the ball played up to neck height. It has been frustrating for him so far.

    Good pressing by Ollie Watkins from the front here and West Ham keeper Lukasz Fabianski passes the ball out for a corner.

    Half an hour gone and Villa striker Ollie Watkins has touched the ball four times - none of them near the box.

    Aaron Cresswell clips a straight free-kick over the top and Michail Antonio ghosts away from his defender before flicking a header which Emiliano Martinez catches.

    Aston Villa have been poor at the back so far. There's a reason they're down near the relegation zone.

    Free-kick to West Ham now as Marvelous Nakamba hacks down Said Benrahma.

    If Aston Villa start playing and start pressing their fans will get behind them but at the moment it is not good enough from them.

    It's been a proper away performance from West Ham so far.

    A bit better from Villa now but Leon Bailey and Matt Targett both put in sloppy crosses from the left.

    Villa try to get a move going from the back but West Ham are holding their shape - and there's eventually an offside call in the Hammers' favour.
