    Almost a chance for Albion. Simon Adingra pings a ball across the box but it's just too far for Joao Pedro to control in front of the goal.

    Mohammed Kudus accelerates down the right but can't pick out a team-mate with his cut-back.

    Brighton 0-0 Marseille

    Marseille will win the group and go into the last 16.

    Brighton will finish second and go into the play-off round in February.

    But an Albion win would see them swap places.

    West Ham 2-0 Freiburg

    West Ham are already confirmed in the top two. They will reach the round of 16 as group winners if they avoid defeat by Freiburg. So this scoreline is very good for them.

    Freiburg are also confirmed in the top two. But they must beat West Ham to finish top of the group.

    A good half by West Ham. David Moyes will be happy.

    They only need a draw but they are cruising to victory at the moment and sit top of the group.

    West Ham 2-0 Freiburg

    Vladimír Coufal drifts offside to give Freiburg a free-kick inside their half.

    It's lumped forward and West Ham win the header to regain possession.

    That's been the story of the half really. They have defended with ease and haven't been troubled aside from a few snap shots.

    Pascal Gross blasts the ball across to Joao Pedro, whose shot is weak and easily saved by Pau Lopez.

    The goal his performance deserves.

    It's a brilliant goal from West Ham too as Edson Alvarez plays a neat one-two with Jarrod Bowen.

    He can't miss when he gets it back off Bowen and fires it into the roof of the net.

    A goal and an assist.

    Ritsu Doan has still looked lively for Freiburg despite the lack of chances. He carves some space for himself but the shot is straight at Łukasz Fabiański.

    A great ball from Emerson. He whips it into a dangerous area at the back post and Noah Atubolu is scrambling. There's nobody there though.
