    West Ham 1-0 Astra

    West Ham are finishing the half on top with a succession of corners - Zarate wallops a shot wide from the latest Dimitri Payet delivery.

    Should be! Isn't.

    Victor Wanyama has time to line up his left-foot shot as the ball falls into his path from Maya Yoshida's knock-down, but never looks comfortable.

    His punt from 15 yards out is palmed away by Eloy Room in goal. The ball rebounds towards Yoshida but it comes to nothing.

    Nice work from Southampton with Matt Targett's outside of the foot pass picking out Sadio Mane, but the striker's square pass to the unmarked Graziano Pelle is cut out by a covering defender.

    It looks like a left hamstring for Joey O'Brien. It's a shame that's the end of Enner Valencia's night. West Ham aren't blessed with lots of strikers and it might be something they look at before the start of the season.

    Anyone fancy Southampton v Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League final next May?

    Former Saints striker Matt Le Tissier certainly does.

    And there is more bad news on the injury front for the Hammers.

    Goalscorer Enner Valencia has suffered a leg injury and has to be stretchered off. That is nasty and he is taken straight down the tunnel for further treatment.

    Modibo Maiga is off the bench to fill the striker's role.

  8. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:20

    West Ham 1-0 Astra

    A change for West Ham as Joey O'Brien is hooked and Reece Burke is shoved on in his place.

    Might have been a muscle tweak.

    A decent chance for Saints as Steven Davis''s corner is drilled into the near post with no-one taking charge in the Vitesse defence. A stooping Maya Yoshida meets it, but does not connect cleanly with his header. It is straight at Eloy Room in goal and he snaffles with ease.

    "Great atmosphere around St Mary's in the early exchanges of this one.

    "A sell-out crowd are creating quite a buzz, while the setting sun opposite is creating quite a hindrance for the assembled press.

    "Didn't think I'd be pulling my shades out of my bag for this one to read the teamsheets.

    "Vitesse have started confidently with Djurdevic and Kazaishvili combining well up front for the visitors."

    You're preaching to the converted Christopher. Less impressive than he was at Fulham was all I was saying. And I reckon that's about right.

    Never has a man looked more disgusted by the Hammers' pre-match bubbles.

    It's all part of the job Slaven.

    Dimitri Payet has a touch of Carlos Tevez about him. He's small and muscular and it was his cross that allowed Enner Valencia to power a downward header into the net. It's been coming."

  15. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 20:11

    Southampton 0-0 Vitesse

    Saints have a penalty shout, but they never get to find out if the referee agrees that Dusan Tadic was fouled as he tried to get onto Matt Targett's pass.

    The offside flag was up already.

    Oh - so close for the away side. A poor headed clearance from Maya Yoshida is almost punished by Valeri Kazaishvili but his low strike across goal is inches wide.

    All about Dimitri Payet this one.

    The little Frenchman does his marker like a kipper and sweeps in a delicious cross with Enner Valencia just needs to apply his forehead to.

    I think Slaven Bilic will want a bit more detail on the passing. If they can find that then it won't be long before they take the lead."

    West Ham have been busy, hustling and harrying when they lose the ball and making plenty of runs off it.

    But it has not quite clicked yet for the hosts...
