Someone get a proper hit on it!

Another delightful delivery comes in from Aaron Cresswell but Michail Antonio misses an attempted header from eight yards out, Vladimir Coufal scuffs the follow-up into the box and Pablo Fornals cannot get enough purchase on the stretch.

Good to see Junya Ito making a recovery from that ankle knock in the first half.

He looks to fire one in from long range but blazes it over.

Away we go for the second half.

What will David Moyes have said to his men?

Napoli are behind at Legia Warsaw in Leicester's group...

Chris Peters: Re. Kevin at 18:20, Lanzini was players' player of the year in his first full season. Tell us you don't really follow West Ham without telling us you don't really follow West Ham.

The Gambling Commission says it will investigate how seven Premier League and Championship clubs had direct links to betting sites from children's pages of their websites.

BBC Sport contacted top-flight clubs Arsenal, Tottenham, West Ham and Aston Villa, plus Championship clubs QPR, Millwall and Reading, to inform them of the links, which contravene the regulatory body's rules.

The links appeared at the bottom of their junior membership and games pages, and have since been taken down.

In some cases the links clicked through to offers of free bets.

But at the time of publication there is still a direct link to West Ham's gambling sponsor on its children's 'colouring in' page which has pictures of a teddy bear, the club mascot and former captain Bobby Moore.

The sponsor features on a banner across every page of its website.

David Moyes' 1,000th game as a manager is not going to plan, trailing at the break.

He needs to give stern telling off to his players if they are to turn it around in the second period.

A replay shows the ball on the goalline but not over it. One of the goal-saving challenges of the season that.

How has he missed????

This is an incredible goalline clearance from Patrik Hrosovsky.

Michail Antonio's shot is half-saved and is creeping towards the line where Declan Rice has a tap-in from less than a yard out, but the Genk player gets back to make a sensational sliding challenge to preserve his side's lead.

First clear-cut chance for West Ham but Said Benrahma's shot from inside the six yard box is superbly kept out by Maarten Vandevoordt.

Genk pour forward on the counter and Joseph Paintsil - who has recovered fully from the earlier rolls - cuts in from the left but is denied a second of the night by Alphonse Areola's flying stop.

Will: Moyes is using the squad. We’ve got a tough game on Sunday and almost home and dry in Europe. People are too quick to jump on the Moyesiah when things don't go our way.

Jon: Dear Kevin, do us all a favour and keep your negative thoughts to yourself. Moyes has done unbelievable so far.

Michail Antonio, who recently got called up to the Jamaica national team for their World Cup qualifiers, has had scraps to feed off so far.

He tries to go it alone but a sea of blue shirts crowd around him and the shot is snuffed out.

Three, four, five, maybe six rolls on the ground from goalscorer Joseph Paintsil as he goes over following a challenge from Issa Diop.

Ref sees nothing wrong with it and waves play on.

There'll be a Paintsil meme coming out soon of him rolling to the Great Wall of China and off into space.

Kevin: What is Moyes thinking? Lanzini has been a passenger since he came to the club. Noble has been finished for two years and we've got a second-rate left back 'supporting' Antonio!

Nice little flick from Junya Ita.

Genk break forward and Joseph Paintsil's low shot is pushed away while Bryan Heynen's follow-up is scuffed wide.

Genk keep coming.

What? Junya Ito is back on. He wants to hobble on, they are going to drag him off that pitch.

Said Benrahma sees a shot well blocked in the final third.

Oh no, this is a sad sight. Genk's star man Junya Ito is down again and it looks like his day is done.

The midfielder lays down on the turf with his head in his hands.

Tom: Probably good for West Ham to have a test and struggle in at least one game in the group, kind of experience that will hold them in good stead if they reach the knockout rounds.

Junya Ito is back on after treatment but is hobbling very heavily.

Meanwhile, Craig Dawson gets to another header but this one is comfortable for Maarten Vandevoordt.

Genk 1-0 West Ham

One way to stop Junya Ito? Take him out.

West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola comes steaming off his line and gets all of the ball as well as all of the man, with the Genk midfielder receiving a painful knock to his ankle.
