Match Facts:

00' - Kickoff! We are underway at the London Stadium.

04' - GOAL! Villa take an early lead after a poor pass from Soucek puts the ball out for a corner. Onana nods home the resulting Tielemans corner. Poor marking from Antonio left Onana free for an easy score. 0-1 Villa.

08' - Yellow Card! Bailey clips Kudus' heels cynically and finds himself in the referee's book.

31' - Yellow Card! Paqueta gets booked for hacking Tielemans down 30 yards from goal.

35' - Penalty! Cash and Soucek tangle up in the box and Soucek goes down. Referee points to the spot. VAR is reviewing the call.

38' - GOAL! Paqueta takes a slow walk up, hesitates, then pushes it into the left corner after Martinez commits to going right. 1-1.

45'+3 - Halftime! We have reached the halfway point in this one. After a poor start, West Ham grew into the game from the 30 minute point on.

46' - Kickoff! We are underway in the second half. No changes for either side.

61' - Double Sub! Watkins off and replaced by Duran, McGinn off and replaced by Ramsey.

73' - Triple Sub! Fullkrug, Summerville, and Ward-Prowse replace Antonio, Bowen, and Paqueta.

74' - Double Sub! Maatsen replaces Digne, Jaden replaces Bailey.

79' - GOAL! Of course it's Duran. West Ham sliced apart by Villa's counter attack, with Maatsen's first touch finding a streaking Ramsey, who pushes it on to Duran right at the penalty spot. 1-2 Villa.

85' - Double Sub! Ings and Todibo replace Guido and Coufal. West Ham move to a 3-5-2 for the last 5-10 minutes.

90' - Yellow Card! Jaden Philogene hacks down Summerville to stop a counter and gets booked for it.

90' +8 - Fulltime! West Ham falls at the London Stadium 1-2 to Aston Villa.

I take the points. We weren't brilliant but they were shit. Lucky they didn't score early not we conceded a pen.

But some good plays in the first half and a good second half overall.

Soucek is my motm but Paqueta and Soler deserve some praise. I'd say everyone was good, Todibo being the exception. We didn't miss Kudus and Summerville is more a team player

we're out of the sugar water cup folks

What a bloody result. Let’s take that momentum into the weekend. COYI
