That's full time. A late flurry of Arsenal chances are calmly dealt with by West Ham, and they can be sure that this victory was no fluke. They took their opportunities when presented to them, and Arsenal didn't.
90+2'
Payet shrugs off Koscielny, decides to drive into the box, and realises what he's done. He then turns around and passes back to waste time. Arsenal then try to get a break going, but Walcott is clattered and Atkinson gives nothing.
90+1'
There will be five minutes of added time.

Maiga on for Sakho.
89'
Giroud misses another chance, of course he does. He scoops a shot. well over at teh near post.
87'
Sakho makes 60 yards sprinting down the wing, holding Koscielny off as he does so, and even wins a corner. They're going to win this thing.
85'
Arsenal fans are already leaving the ground.

Walcott has a shot blocked, and then Oxlade-Chamberlain has a shot from distance, straight into the side-netting.
80'
Sakho runs onto a long ball but he scuffs a shot from a tight angle, and dear old Cech manages to save one.

Oxford is replaced by Nolan.
78'
Both the players are back on the pitch.
76'
Giroud is up and likely to re-enter play soon. Now the same for Tomkins.
75'
Giroud and Tomkins clash heads, and both are swiftly put into the recovery position and the medics are on.
74'
Sanchez evades a few players as he enters the box, and then runs into one to be tackled. It's not his fault, he's not fit and he's not properly match sharp.
73'
Koscielny forces Cech to rush out before Sakho gets to his reckless header back to the 'keeper.
71'
Walcott brings the ball down the right, and an early cross or ambitious shot flicks off a defender for a corner. It's headed away, scrambles in the box, and Sanchez is penalised for a push.

Monreal is booked for a hack on Noble after a miscontrol.
68'
Oxford has done exceptionally well for such a young player in such an important position. So far.

Sanchez is introduced for Debuchy as Arsenal chase the game.
66'
Sakho chases a ball from Payet, with Koscielny behind him, but he slips and that's quite amusing.
