West Ham's only frustration will be that it is still just 1-0, because they have completely dominated that half.

Chance for West Ham to lose out the half.

Lucas Paqueta feeds in James Ward-Prowse, who cuts on to his left foot but fires a tame shot straight at Noah Atubolu.

Brighton's disappointing start to life in European football continues.

Why did Brighton wait 40 minutes to start playing? Solly March slices a half-volley just wide from the edge of the box.

Huge chance for Brighton to get back into this game. Danny Welbeck is in on goal but he's denied by the legs of Pau Lopez, who is quick off his line.

Albion's only two shots on target have been in the past few minutes.

There will be three minutes of added time here.

Two minutes added on.

Ansu Fati almost gets Brighton back into this game. The Barcelona loanee runs in behind from Mahmoud Dahoud's ball over the top and floats a clever header towards the top corner which is well saved by a diving Pau Lopez.

I think Alvarez and Ward-Prowse have created a good shield in front of the back four. It has been a good game plan and they have been the dominant side.

Perhaps not in terms possession now, but in terms of creating chances.

James Ward-Prowse with an important touch back to his keeper.

For a moment, it looked like Freiburg might be able to pose a threat to the Hammers goal following a heavy tackle to rib Jarrod Bowen in midfield.

Kaoru Mitoma cuts out a crossfield ball in his own half and runs forward for Brighton before losing possession.

The Seagulls have a corner. Lewis Dunk is having words with the referee about something - maybe the non-penalty/penalty/non-penalty?

The corner finds Dunk, who heads over the bar.

Brighton were the second favourites to win the Europa League. With English bookmakers anyway.

The referee has keep his cards in his pocket so far. This is probably the biggest threat to that so far as Thilo Kehrer hammers into Roland Sallai over on the right side.

Freiburg enjoy their longest spell of possession in the West Ham half but they fail to get a shot away as a cross from the right is snatched out of the air by Lukasz Fabianski.

Almost a third for Marseille. Amine Harit hammers one in from 25 yards and Jason Steele palms it over with one arm.

Marseille keeper Pau Lopez races out of his box and sends a diving header into touch to stop Kaoru Mitoma getting to the ball on the wing.

We saw it last year in the Europa Conference League, the special bond between the ex-players and the current squad.

I was lucky enough to be there and Carlton Cole and Joe were there and that connection is epitomised by Mark Noble.
