    Well this is an extraordinary call. The referee is now going over to see the replays for himself.

    The post is obstructing the view of VAR. It looks to me that the arm is used to bundle the ball over the line.

    There could be an offside as well. Chaos!

    A James Ward-Prowse free-kick is bent in wickedly, the ball is touched on and there's a right scramble on the line. Does this go in off the hand of Tomas Soucek?

    It gets bundled over the line but I'm not sure West Ham are going to get it.

    This is being checked for a handball as well!

    Nicolo Zaniolo, on a booking, throws the ball away and the London Stadium erupts in displeasure that he is not sent off.

    It just looked like the net was going to bulge, James Ward-Prowse's eyes lit up. Matty Cash was outstanding with the block.

    What a block! Ollie Watkins almost finds Mouusa Diaby inside the area and West Ham for once get a break away.

    Mohammed Kudus cuts the ball back to James Ward-Prowse, on the penalty spot, bang in front. You're expecting the net to ripple but Matty Cash dives in and makes a Superman block.

    Brilliant!

    A few more bookings for a tussle, are we settling for a point apiece or are there more late fireworks to come?

    It's getting spicy, it really is.

    He's almost in for a second, Nicolo Zaniolo! Lucas Digne puts in a dreamy cross on the run and he almost meets it on the slide but Kurt Zouma does well to clear.

    Villa look a different side.

  18. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 84 mins

    West Ham 1-1 Aston Villa

    Goalscorer Nicolo Zaniolo and Edson Alvarez get into a tangle and both are booked - that's the 10th yellow of the season for Alvarez and will trigger a two-game ban.

    David Moyes now sends on James Ward-Prowse and Aaron Cresswell. Set-piece tastic.

    Just for you Tom in London - that goal means Villa are three points ahead of Spurs in the table.

    West Ham finishing the season with a charge, Villa just trying to hold on to league position.
