Ciaran Clark
It's that man Matt Ritchie again.

West Ham have no more options.
GREAT SAVE AND CLEARANCE!published at 66 mins

So unlucky Matt Ritchie!
The man-of-the-match so far cruises forward and fires a low shot which Joe Hart parries.
The ball almost lands at the feet of Joselu, but the Spaniard is denied a second goal as Pablo Zabaleta clears.

Imagine if Hernandez had scored then?
Rob Elliot makes a great save to keep out Aaron Cresswell's drive.
Elliot takes the sting out of Javier Hernandez's follow up which is cleared pretty much off the line by Ciaran Clark.
The game has livened up and West Ham have woken up much to the relief of their fans.
