West Ham United vs Liverpool

1. 93'

   West Ham are now only in the relegation zone on goal difference, level on 28 points with Wolves in 17th place.

2. 93'

   <b>FULL TIME</b> A huge three points for West Ham. Goals from Parker, Ba and Cole give them a win over Liverpool, who could only respond with a solitary strike from Glen Johnson.

3. 92'

   Now it's the West Ham fans' turn to sing, "I'm forever blowing bubbles" booms around Upton Park.

4. 91'

   What a big goal for West Ham, surely name they will move level on points with Wolves? Who are just outside the relegation zone.

5. 90'

6. 90'

   West Ham lose possession from the free kick, but Liverpool's clearance is returned by Wayne Bridge. Mark Noble finds himself in possession and fires on goal after shrugging of a challenge, but Reina saves his shot.

7. 89'

   West Ham with a free kick near the Liverpool area after Noble is tripped by Carragher. Breathing space for the Hammers.

9. 88'

   Awful from Steven Gerrard, his cross is overhit and evades everyone. Goal kick to West Ham.

10. 87'

    Liverpool free kick 30 yards out after Upson hauls down Suarez...

11. 86'

    Upton Park is eerily quiet. The home fans are nervous as their team look to hold on for a vital three points...

12. 84'

    The travelling fans have found their voice again, can Liverpool salvage a point they barely deserve?

13. 83'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> <b>Glen Johnson pulls one back for Liverpool!</b> Excellent work from Suarez, who twists and turns away from his marker before drilling a low cross into the six-yard box, and Johnson had a simple tap in. Game on!

14. 82'

    James Tomkins is struggling for West Ham. He looks like he'll be ok, though.

15. 81'

16. 80'

    An awful miscue from Cole, Liverpool take a corner short and eventually it arrives with Suarez at the far post. His cushion volley is right into the path of Cole, who slices his volley horribly.

17. 79'

    Another stodgy build up from Liverpool ends with Johnson crossing harmlessly into the arms of Rob Green. The Reds seem devoid of any spark or invention.

18. 77'

    The free kick is wasted as Dirk Kuyt is penalised for shirt pulling.

19. 76'

    West Ham are beginning to drop deeper and are inviting Liverpool on to them. Tentitively, Liverpool are accepting the invitation as Johnson is brought down...

20. 74'

    Steven Gerrard goes down under Piquionne's challenge, looking for a penalty. Almost apologetically, Gerrard shakes the French striker's hand. Never a penalty.

21. 72'

    Liverpool seemed to have upped their intensity in the last couple of minutes. As I type, though, Dirk Kuyt dribbles straight out of play.

22. 71'

    Steven Gerrard with a rasping half-volley at Rob Green's goal. The England stopper acrobatically flicks it over the top.

23. 71'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2011/0227/dembabagoal20110227_275x155.jpg"><br>Demba Ba heads home West Ham's second goal.

24. 68'

    Gerrard finds space in the West Ham box for the first time, as he shoots, he sees Upson fly in to block. Good defending.

25. 67'

    Another shot, you know who it was. That's right, Hitzlsperger, back on his favoured left foot, can only blaze high and wide.
