We are sixty seconds away from penalties. This has been a very entertaining, high-tempo game. I've enjoyed it.

Daniel Sturridge backheel - blocked! Liverpool really pushing on for a winner...

Glimpses, glimpses of real class from Daniel Sturridge as he beats two defenders and tries to nutmeg the last man, so nearly does too but Michail Antonio sticks out a boot and whips it away. 

Enner Valencia was hurt in having that shot blocked by Lucas but he should be able to carry on. Five minutes remain. 

Enner Valencia wide on the left for West Ham, he cuts inside, beats one man, inside another, should he lay it off? No he drives on, beats another and his shot is blocked by a fine block from Lucas!

Jon Flanagan tests out that dodgy knee by nailing Andy Carroll on his follow-through, no foul given! Plenty to enjoy and observe throughout this game...

Liverpool's front three are looking dangerous at every mention now as Daniel Sturridge runs at them, the ball falls to Christian Benteke and - and that is a wretched effort. Rash, rushed, rotten, really really wide...

Daniel Sturridge runs at West Ham, options either side, but he goes for goal and it's a very good effort, always rising but just over the top!

Les Pearson: Benteke and Balotelli making Liverpool fans long for the days of Heskey...how LOW can you go!

Ash: To be fair to Heskey, he was actually a good player for Liverpool. Benteke isn't redeeming himself at the moment.

And here we go. Darren Randolph earning a lot of praise for his performance in the West Ham goal tonight. 

Liverpool have won 14 of their last 17 penalty shootouts.

I sure know who ONE of the three were...

I wonder if Christian Benteke will take a penalty - if we get that far?Half-time in extra time.

I could go on - you're all talking about Christian Benteke. And not in a good way.

Benteke then heads a [difficult] header over as James Milner comes on to replace Pedro Chirivella.

That's all subs used now....

Andrew Priestley: Christian Benteke, butchering gilt-edged opportunities since August 2015.

Ash: Benteke is absolutely woeful at 1v1s.

JavelBleach: How many 1-on-1s has #Benteke, external missed this season? Has he scored any?

Giannina Siragusa: Benteke, you mug

I will lose my ruddy nut

If you miss again

And now Christian Benteke has an even better chance! Dear me he has to score this, one-on-one, clean through on goal and while it is a great save by Darren Randolph, Benteke shouldn't have given him a chance.

'He's actually turning into Emile Heskey,' observes an esteemed colleague. A comparison both players would probably find offensive...

In the same way that you expect £9m Jordan Rhodes to head in stoppage-time equalisers, you expect £32m strikers to score these.

Christian Benteke has a shot at goal from 15 yards out - and puts it wide!

It's all West Ham. Dimitri Payet works the ball from left to right, Mark Noble opens up his body and curls in from 22 yards and Simon Mignolet makes a decent save. The Belgian then comes out well to punch away from Andy Carroll.
