    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    Teemu Pukki has taken a knock and is hobbling. The last thing Norwich need is to lose their main goal supply to injury.

    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    There's a familiar pattern to the start of the second half. Two quick corners for West Ham but nothing comes from them.

    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    Norwich need to be more adventurous. They're heading for a sixth straight league defeat and have hardly threatened.

  4. KICK-OFFpublished at 45 mins

    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    Back under way at London Stadium. No changes.

    HT: West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    Seven goals for Jarrod Bowen this season. He's playing some of the best football of his career at the moment. Time for Gareth Southgate to give the former Hereford youth player a chance in this summer's Nations League games?

    West Ham have not been at their best but Norwich are just keeping possession and you don't win matches by just doing that. They have to show more. It needs to improve.

    HT: West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    West Ham have lost only one of their nine Premier League matches this season in which they've scored the opening goal, at home against Manchester United on 19 September.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:34 GMT 12 January 2022

    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    The Hammers are on course for a third straight Premier League win.

    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    Bowen could have had a hat-trick.

    He was denied by Tim Krul in the opening minutes, had one chalked off before finding the net for real.

    What does that goal mean? The Hammers are in a Champions League spot as it stands.

    Jarrod Bowen is on fire at the moment. He cannot do anything wrong. It was a delicious ball into the box and probably the smallest man on the pitch gets up to nod it in.

    I know Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of Bowen and you can understand why. To see him in this form is great. It takes the pressure off Michail Antonio.

    West Ham 1-0 Norwich

    A bad time for Norwich to concede.

    There will be questions about that goal. Jarrod Bowen is one of the smallest players on the pitch but was still allowed to get a header in.

    GOAL - West Ham 1- Norwichpublished at 20:27 GMT 12 January 2022

    Jarrod Bowen

    And this one does count.

    Aaron Creswell overcooks a cross but Vladimir Coufal retrieves it and sends it back into the box where Jarrod Bowen gets ahead of his man to nod the Hammers ahead.

    Nothing controversial about that. West Ham lead.

    West Ham 0-0 Norwich

    Grant Hanley is doing a fine job marshalling the Norwich defence.

    Nikola Vlasic runs into the back of the defender and goes down clutching his face inside the box.

    The referee is not buying that.

    The home fans have been subdued but that has lifted the atmosphere now.

  15. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 35 mins

    West Ham 0-0 Norwich

    Jeers as Bowen's attempt is ruled out for offside.

    No doubt about it. West Ham have upped the tempo and that disallowed attempt is only going to fire them up even more.

    The home players are not happy.

    Jarrod Bowen

    Jarrod Bowen finds the net from distance and turns to celebrate.

    But hang on...

    What's going on?

    West Ham 0-0 Norwich

    Vladimir Coufal wins a free-kick on the right hand side of the box. Aaron Cresswell plays it to the edge of the box where an unmarked Manuel Lanzini is waiting. The less said about his attempt the better.

    Both teams are playing too many long balls. The game is getting stretched and that is why it is so slow.

    West Ham 0-0 Norwich

    Grant Hanley is sticking to Michail Antonio like glue and doing a decent marking job. Antonio has yet to have a shot.

  20. Postpublished at 26 mins

    West Ham 0-0 Norwich

    The Hammers are back to 11 as Nikola Vlasic returns to the pitch.

    Two attempts on target so far - one for each side - but both teams are lacking that bit of quality in the final third.
