A look at that Joe Hart save again... wonderful.

Dimitri Payet had 49 touches in that first half. Yaya Toure was closest to the tally on 41.

West Ham's Dimitri Payet is producing all the tricks and flicks this evening. Some pirouettes, you name it, plenty in the locker.

Former West Ham midfielder Jack Collison is tweeting for West Ham today...

Terry Lambert: That was a red card all day for Demichelis. 100% ref is having a shocker.

Liz Tray: Someone should tell Hammers fans not every single foul is a yellow. Demichelis, mind you, v close to a red there. Great game! 

Darren W: Cresswell should be in England squad. Always seems consistent and good attacking/defending whenever see him.

That's probably a fair state of affairs at the break. West Ham excellent in parts, City showing enough bottle to get back into things after a tough start.

The big talking point will be on Martin Demichelis. Was he the last man when only a booking came his way fro hacking down Michail Antonio.

West Ham need to tune in here. They don't want o create issues before the break. A minute left and Aaron Cresswell takes a heavy touch to concede a throw. Their keeper Adrian did him no favours with a tame clearance.

"I am not sure about Yaya Toure today he looks like he is carrying an injury to me. He has not really done a lot to be honest."

We will have three added minutes. Carl Jenkinson left the field early on with an injury remember.

This is the touch map of the most active player on the field. Who do you think it is?

It's Dimitri Payet. He started on the left side but pops up to cause problems across the front line. It's 45 touches so far, 18 more than David Silva for the visitors.

Excellent work from Michail Antonio as he jockeys Sergio Aguero to prevent a clear City chance on the break. Antonio has to match his man on halfway or the away side would have a huge overlap. The home fans like that.

"West Ham have certainly been the best side in the last five minutes."

Joe Hart must be able to feel Jack Butland's breath on his back in the duel to remain England's number one.

More excellent work sees the City stopper jump to flick an inviting cross away in the six-yard box.

If you're just joining us, Enner Valencia gave West Ham the lead inside a minute, Sergio Aguero then hit the post with a wonderful lob before being fouled moments later for a penalty which he converted.

Martin Demichelis is lucky to be on the pitch perhaps after appearing to deny a goalscoring chance and Joe Hart has made one of the saves of the season.

Mark Noble into the book for a slightly wild challenge on Jesus Navas who had slipped his man. 

"You're not fit to referee," comes the chant.

All pretty even as things stand. Cheikhou Kouyate chases down a long ball but Joe Hart is on the mark to gather on the edge of his box.

"It is Craig Pawson in the middle and he certainly isn’t a Hammer because he’s upset the fans with a few of these decisions."

West Ham will have to make something from a free-kick, they feel like they should have more. Replays do show Martin Demichelis may be a little fortunate.

Dimitri Payet is over the free-kick. Right footed... brilliant curler... even better save.

That's stunning from Joe Hart. One handed, he dived high to his left and just got a strong hand to the ball. Different class.
