    Michail Antonio is trying to play right down the middle, as close as possible to Sebastian Haller, and the Southampton defenders don't know what to do - they're not sure how to pick him up.

    It's leaving loads of space for Haller to get into. Both teams playing well but West Ham just look better.

    Roses are red

    Compost is brown

    If West Ham keep scoring

    They'll avoid going down

    Newcastle 0-0 Burnley

    Almost 25 minutes in and we're yet to see a shot on target, in fact Opta has only registered a blocked shot apiece.

    Jonjo Shelvey is the latest to have a dig, but sure enough his strike hits a defender.

    West Ham 1-0 Southampton

    No side has won fewer Premier League points at home than West Ham this season (12 before kick-off). And you can tell.

    It's really tense and quiet inside the ground despite that early goal. Jarrod Bowen looks sharp again to run away from a defender but his low shot is tame.

    Newcastle 0-0 Burrnley

    Burnley are piling on the pressure.

    Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has to punch away a looping ball to clear the danger.

    Newcastle 0-0 Burnley

    Wonderful persistence from Jay Rodriguez after he hooks the ball out of the Newcastle sky and bundles several defenders out of the way before firing a low effort on goal - there was just one too many black and whites shirts in the way. Corner.

    Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea

    Jorginho is pleading with Andre Marriner... the Chelsea midfielder says that tackle was his first of the game, but it's landed him in the book. He'll miss the next two games.

  9. CLOSE!published at 15:19 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2020

    West Ham 1-0 Southampton

    As it stands West Ham are up to 16th in the table with Villa in the drop zone.

    Could be two, too! Michail Antonio did superbly on the left to sling in a cross and Seb Haller, unmarked, can only nod straight at Alex McCarthy.

    Newcastle 0-0 Burnley

    Chance for Dwight Gayle, but Phil Bardsley gets a shinpad in the way and deflects his snapshot wide for a corner. It was a better touch this time from the Newcastle man inside the box, but a good recovery from Bardsley.

    Look at the finish, the way Bowen just caresses it over the keeper, it's a brilliant finish. Why's he been on the bench?!

    Chelsea have woken up, and in turn are seeing more of the ball. Spoiling that early end-to-end fun we were enjoying... Frank Lampard's Blues, playing in white today, are starting to put their foot on the ball.

    GOAL - West Ham 1-0 Southamptonpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 29 February 2020

    Jarrod Bowen (15 mins)

    That's the way to do it!

    Brilliant goal from Jarrod Bowen on his first start in the Premier League. Southampton give the ball away cheaply, Pablo Fornals slides a lovely pass into his run, he gets inbetween Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens and from a very tight angle he just chips it into the far corner.

    West Ham 0-0 Southampton

    Can the Premier League put on a clinic on how to score an overload please? Norwich had six-on-three last night, Palace had two v the keeper about an hour ago and now West Ham make a total hash of a three-on-one from the halfway line!

    Michail Antonio's ball to Jarrod Bowed is overhit and delayed, didn't give him much of a chance and in the end his shot is blocked.

    So pleased to see Brucie playing four at the back today. It's a crucial week for Newcastle and we needed to change something. Front foot football at last!

    Burnley are popping it around nicely in possession, but their more considered approach is yet to produce any real opportunities. Comfortable for Newcastle.

    David Sullivan is unmoved by these protests, still doing his Soviet tribute act up in the stands. Not much happening on the pitch, or off it.

    Better touch from Dwight Gayle there and the Newcastle forward was in. Nick Pope is out quickly for Burnley to smother the loose ball after the striker overcooks it.

    I fear for this Bournemouth side. When they came up, they were playing beautiful football, but teams have now found out exactly how they play - and they find themselves wanting at times.
