Full-back Ben Johnson picks the pocket of Sadio Mane and has a go from 30 yards out but cannot find the target.

The game is getting stretched now.

Liverpool looking to push forward to exploit the gaps, West Ham aiming to hit them on the counter.

Neither side can quite apply the final pass through.

We tick onto the hour mark, this one is finely poised.

Said Benrahma is causing Trent Alexander-Arnold problems because there's lots of space in behind, Liverpool full-backs like to get forward and he occupies that space so that West Ham can get out.

You have to work hard to play under David Moyes and he's bought into it. Credit to him and credit to David Moyes.

Now Mohamed Salah does have a chance to let fly, pick out following a bustling run from Sadio Mane but the Egyptian lashes a few yards out.

Craig Dawson is so dangerous in the air but this time his header lacks power and Alisson collects.

Mohamed Salah has been shackled well by West Ham today, he gets a shot off but it is blocked.

Said Benrahma then carries the ball forward but it tugged back by goalscorer Trent Alexander-Arnold who is booked.

It's brilliant, the pass from Trent Alexander-Arnold to Andy Robertson, the ball across is even better. Sadio Mane's left-foot hit is straight at Lukasz Fabianski, but it's still a really good save.

If it's in the corner, it's a goal, but it's a difficult technique.

Good save from Lukasz Fabianski, moving across his line to bat away Sadio Mane's thumping volley.

The Senegal international couldn't find the corner of the net.

It was a good delivery by Pablo Fornals. It's so unlucky, they are a threat from set pieces West Ham. Very close and really unlucky from Craig Dawson.

And they are agonisingly close to scoring with their second corner.

It is whips into the six yard box, Alisson elects to stay on his line and sub Craig Dawson's header smashes the crossbar.

West Ham earn their second corner of the game.

They scored with their first.

Who's the better player defensively though?

Thumbs up for Reece James.

Thumbs down for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Off we go for the second half.

Will West Ham show a little more ambition?

It was a brilliant half. West Ham started on the front foot, then Liverpool slowly came into the game and were the best team in the last half hour.

It was an outstanding equaliser from Trent Alexander-Arnold. He's been like that all season, he's been outstanding, one of the best right-backs.

Arsenal

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta speaking to BBC Match of the Day on reaching 100 games as manager: "I'm just a baby in management, when I compare myself to someone like Claudio [Ranieri] for example. I am so honoured to be where I am."

On his side's improvement this season: "It shows the unity, the courage and the development of the team. We have achieved good results in the last two months but there is still a lot to do.

On Watford's complaints that Arsenal should have given the ball back prior to Emile Smith Rowe's goal: "I understand. Claudio mentioned it to me after the game but what can I say? It was never bad intentioned. It is not an intention."

On going 10 games unbeaten: "I feel a lot of unity around the club, among the players. I can see they players, the day before a match they are excited to play at the Emirates and the players on the bench are desperate to come in."
