End of 2nd Half
90+5'
FULL-TIME: Leeds 1-2 West Ham
A very well deserved win for Moyes' men in the end, but they made it a lot harder for themselves than it needed to be, squandering nearly 20 chances. Their ability from set-pieces and aerial prowess brought them over the line but they need to be more clinical in future to ensure they don't have to be bailed out again. It was also very risky of Moyes to have waited so long to make his substitutions.
90+5'
Robert Snodgrass comes on for Fornals to make a very rare cameo appearance. He's only played once before this season and that was in injury time in mid-October.

90'
SO CLOSE!!! That's maybe Leeds' best chance of the whole game and Rodrigo will be gutted to have not done better! He had the time and space to control his header but it ended up being a feeble effort straight at Fabianski.
88'
OFF THE POST!!! It's genuinely a miracle that West Ham aren't much further in the lead. Surprisingly though, it's their two centre-backs that link up for this opportunity, with Ogbonna crossing to Balbuena from the right, who agonisingly heads the ball against the post.
88'
SAVED!!! It's just not Haller's night is it? He attempts an audacious overhead kick but it's magnificently saved by Meslier who has enjoyed a good night despite currently being on the losing side.
85'
Another defensively-minded substitution for West Ham. This time young full-back Ben Johnson replaces Bowen.

Mark Noble comes on for the last 10 minutes or so for Benrahma to help his team protect their lead. Benrahma's had a good full debut although he will be disappointed to not have scored.

GOOOAAALLLL!!! Costa gives away a cheap free-kick, from which Cresswell duly whips in a delightful cross. Ogbonna escapes Cooper who's marking him and powers a header into the back of the net to make it 2-1 to West Ham!

INCREDIBLE SAVE!! Balbuena produces a bullet header from a West Ham free-kick and Meslier somehow manages to palm it away in mid-air with his left hand before Phillips clears the ball with an overhead kick. The Hammers are really going for it now!
75'
WHAT A CHANCE!!! Rice turns creator as he cuts in from the left and plays a pass into the box that somehow evades the sliding Cooper. It actually caught Fornals by surprise who awkwardly lunges for the shot and scoops the ball just wide! Meslier had dived the other way so it only had to be on target.
74'
Leeds make their 3rd and final change before West Ham even make their first! Tyler Roberts replaces Bamford upfront.

73'
Counter attack for Leeds and Costa shows plenty of skill to move past Cresswell on the right, but Rice tracks back and makes a good challenge to recover the ball just inside the box before setting Benrahma free to counter the other way.
68'
CLOSE!! Yet another shot on goal from Benrahma and this one's a lot more promising, almost curling into the top right corner!
67'
Raphinha does well to get the ball to Bamford in the box, but the striker is off balance and moving away from goal when he connects with it, so the header fails to hit the target.
65'
Benrahma attempts a shot from range again and it goes wide. He's played well tonight but has struggled to find his shooting boots so far. That was his 5th shot on goal this evening.
60'
The game has slowed in pace a little and become a bit scrappy. Perhaps both teams are tired after a rather erratic first half that saw the second most shots on target recorded in a first half of Premier League action so far this season.
53'
CLOSE!!! Two good chances for Haller! First Bowen chips the ball into him and he has a shot deflected wide by Ayling. Then he forces a save from Meslier with a header from the consequent corner!
48'
Good start for Shackleton, making a run down the right to help set-up Bamford. The Leeds striker fails to control his shot on the turn though and it goes wide.
46'
Helder Costa replaces Harrison with Leeds' second change, so it's a complete change on the left for them. He'll play on the left wing, Dallas will move to left-back and Shackleton will slot in at right-back.
