80 GOAL! 2-1 Ilan nets from close range after a scramble in the box

77 All three subs now used by the Hammers as Zola gives a debut to Ilan

73 Immediately Robbie Blake is replaced by Martin Paterson

73 Stanislas causes more flutters as he flings in a free kick from the left that clips Jensen's crossbar

70 Fletcher heads Elliott's cross wide following a terrific sweeping move upfield

67 The Hammers think they are back in it as Cole taps the ball over the line after Mido challenges Jensen. The linesman's flag saves the Clarets, but it's the right decision as both men are offside

58 Mears cuts inside and fires over on the break. This game is now really wide open

57 Almost immediately Jensen is forced into a magnificent low save to his left as Parker, who is getting more and more influential, finds room in the box

55 GOAL! 2-0 Mears is fouled on the corner of the box and Fox unleashed a howitzer past Green and into the far top corner. What a debut goal!

48 Mido's first touch is a flashing drive from the corner of the area that takes a flick of Mears and goes wide of Jensen's right hand post

46 Half time sub for West Ham as Mido comes on for McCarthy

42 Vague appeals for a penalty by the Clarets as Nugent tumbles from a Fox corner, but ref Howard Webb is unimpressed

33 An incredible clearance under his own crossbar from Leon Cort. McCarthy is running riot and walks round Jensen to slide the ball into an empty net, only for Cort to appear from nowhere and save a certain goal.

26 West Ham turn up the heat and Collison's shot cannons off Mears, only for Fox to again clear the danger inside his own six-yard box as Cole lurks

25 More danger as McCarthy is slipped in on the left, but he tries to cut the ball across the six-yard box rather than going for goal and Fox hacks clear

24 Benni McCarthy controls the ball in the box and tries an instant volley, but it is well wide, to the delight of the cheering Clarets fans!

14 GOAL! 1-0 Fox's raking 70 yard ball from left back catches out Matthew Upson and David Nugent pounces to lob a stranded Robert Green. Just the start Brian Laws wanted!

All pile on!

8 Noble's weak 18-yard effort is easy meat for Jensen as the Hammers create their first opening

6 A bright start by the Clarets, but no clear cut chances just yet
