    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    It was not pretty, but West Ham will not care. Their five-game losing run is over. 

    For Swansea, they stay in the bottom three and they only have six matches left to save their Premier League status.

    West Ham now have an eight-point cushion between themselves and 18th-placed Swansea.

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    Excellent defending from Sam Byram snuffs out a half-chance for Gylfi Sigurdsson. That could be it.

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    The West Ham fans are in good voice, and their side are three minutes away from a valuable three points.

    Manuel Lanzini shows his silky skills to create some space for the cross. Jonathan Calleri slides in at the back post but can only hit the side netting. Still hope for Swansea. Five minutes injury time.

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 85 mins

    West Ham's Andre Ayew heads down into the ground from a good chance and that is his last action as Edimilson Fernandes comes on to replace him.

    Now we're getting a better game. Andre Ayew forces a fine save from Lukasz Fabianski, who keeps the Swans in it.

    A bright end to the game from the visitors. Where has this Swansea been? Substitute Jefferson Montero hares down the left wing and his cross takes a deflection off Mark Noble.

     The ball loops over goalkeeper Darren Randolph but James Collins is well placed to acrobatically hack it clear.

    They haven't deserved an equaliser, but they very nearly get one. Gylfi Sigurdsson's corner swings in from the left and goalkeeper Darren Randolph is nowhere near the ball. Leroy Fer is charging in at the back post but cannot get a touch that would have brought it level.

    Moments later Luciano Narsingh unleashes an attempt from a tight angle. It looks like Randolph got his fingertips to it, to push it over, but the officials say it is a goal kick.

    Corner to Swansea. Is this their moment?

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    Swansea are having to push men forward in the hope of an equaliser. They could be vulnerable on the counter atttack, and Federico Fernandez gets a yellow card for a cynical foul on Andre Ayew.

    Manuel Lanzini takes the free-kick but it is just over the top.

    It's fair to say this has not been a classic. Can Swansea get back into this one?

    West Ham have a free-kick in a dangerous position. Manuel Lanzini takes it but Fernando Llorente is there at the near post to head it clear.

    Feghouli nearly makes an instant impact as his low cross finds Jonathan Calleri, but, under pressure, his dinked effort is deflected over the bar.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 68 mins

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    We have not had many chances in what has been a low-key second half. Mark Noble goes for an optimistic one, 30 yards out, but it is straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

    The Hammers then make a change with Sofiane Feghouli coming on. A very annoyed Robert Snodgrass is the man to come off.

    Jordan Ayew has been one of a few plus points for Swansea today. He is certainly putting in the effort, but runs into a dead end as he aims to get into a position to cross. Swansea need to do more.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 62 mins

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    Swansea have now used up all three substitutes with more than 25 minutes of the game remaining.

    Jack Cork cannot carry on and is helped off the pitch by two of Swansea's medical team after an ankle injury. Jefferson Montero is the man who replaces Cork.

    Swansea have not had the best of days and now Jack Cork needs some medical attention after landing badly on his ankle when jumping for a challenge

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 56 mins

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    Embarrassing from West Ham's Manuel Lanzini who throws himself to the ground in the penalty area, under no contact from Federico Fernandez - the defender closest to him.

    Lanzini is rightly cautioned for a shameful piece of play-acting.

    West Ham 1-0 Swansea

    It has been better from Swansea since the restart and the introduction of Llorente. Swans fans will also hope it leads to an improved performance from Gylfi Sigurdssson who had a surprisingly quiet first half.
