Early danger for Burnley as Leighton Baines' wicked free-kick delivery is flicked on by Ashley Williams.

There is nobody on the far post to profit though.

And then Enner Valencia thrashes a shot goalwards. Strong hands from Tom Heaton to keep it out...

We are getting back under way around the grounds.

A change at Goodison Park by the way. Idrissa Gueye off and Enner Valencia on.

Jordan Pickford probably stuck a bag of frozen peas on his ankle, and maybe a spray of something, during the break. The Sunderland keeper looks fine to continue after that first-half ankle injury, as does Andre Ayew following his late tangle with John O'Shea. The Hammers striker is laughing and joking with Jermain Defoe ahead of kick-off.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth defender Steve Cook speaking to Sky Sports: "That was tough. Tottenham were outstanding today. We hardly touched the ball all game. 

"When you play one of the top four teams, you expect to be under pressure but today we only mustered a couple of shots on target.

"That’s the first time we have been a bit embarrassed.

"We have had a tough run of games and we knew Tottenham were going to be a tough team to beat.

"We very much need to improve but all credit to Spurs as they were a different class today.

"I am just disappointed with our defensive display."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino: "I am proud of our players after that performance today. We have to wait to see what happens.

"Harry Kane is a fantastic player - he is one of the best in England and it is fantastic he is fit again to help the team.  

"Son is brilliant - he needed time to adapt his game but he is now fit and healthy and he is feeling really comfortable.  

"I was happy for Vincent Janssen because I knew it was his only chance to score and it’s important he feels the happiness when you score.

"At the end of the season when everyone is tired, we need everyone to have the right mental attitude and happiness helps. We now need everyone to rest and get ready for the next few games. 

"The three points are very important to keep our dream."

In the lunchtime kick-off earlier today, Tottenham dispatched Bournemouth double-quick. 

A 4-0 victory leaves Spurs four points behind Chelsea at the top of the table.

Mauricio Pochettino is cautious, but clearly still believes that the title race is not quite dead yet.

So how do these half-time scores affect the relegation battle? Not a great deal to be honest.

Sunderland are the only side in the bottom six on course to pick up a point, with Palace, Hull and Swansea all losing. Middlesbrough are not in action today, remember.

But one suspects the Black Cats, who are still nine points adrift of Hull, will need more than a draw.

The West Ham goal really took the sting out of the Sunderland crowd, but that little bit of luck saw the Black Cats score straight from a corner.

Since that moment, Sunderland have been right back in the game and if anything look the more likely to score.

No more goals as Andre Marriner toots his half-time whistle. Don't bet against more after a slice of orange and a tactical discussion.

Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford and Hammers scorer Andre Ayew, who looked in serious pain after being clattered, will be using the 15-minute break to regain full fitness.

Saido Berahino stabs a shot wide after a flurry of stepovers out on the right by Stoke team-mate Xherdan Shaqiri.

And that is your lot for the first half from the Bet365.

Big Sam Allardyce chomps furiously on his chewing gum as he bolts down the touchline. Palace finished the half strongly but sloppy defending has handed Leicester a narrow half-time lead.

Oooh. Penalty? Sunderland fans plead for one as Robert Snodgrass and Lee Cattermole clash again - this time in the Hammers box.

Snodgrass slides in, Cattermole tumbles. Ref Andre Marriner, rightly, says Snograss won the ball.

Into stoppage time.

We are into injury time at the end of the first half.

The natives are getting restless. Sunderland fans are furious with Hammers winger Robert Snodgrass after he nails Lee Cattermole with a hard tackle. Ref Andre Marriner reckons it is fair.

Palace are growing into this game now. Andros Townsend was excellent on Monday night against Arsenal and the Eagles winger is again providing plenty of spark. He races into the Foxes penalty area from the right, shooting from a tight angle. Robert Huth's big boot blocks.
