Michail Antonio weaves through a couple of challenges before being brought down by a desperate Villa defender. West Ham have a free-kick 40 yards or so from the Villa goal. 

Enner Valencia's effort bounces in front of Brad Guzan but the goalkeeper saves. 

West Ham appeal for a penalty as Alex Song's flick hits Ashley Westwood, but the Hammers' pleas are ignored by Mike Dean. 

West Ham have numbers in defence and, you'd assume, there's no way through for Villa at this late hour. 

Aston Villa earn a free-kick in the last 30 seconds of the regulation 90 minutes... A last chance for a last-gasp winner? Maybe. There will be four minutes of added time. 

It's a poor free-kick from Leandro Bacuna, however - flying above attackers and defenders and out of play. 

Under five minutes remaining and Aston Villa are finishing strongly, though they need to start winning games if they are to fight their way from the bottom of the table. 

We're into the last 10 minutes and Villa look the more likely to score. The hosts playing in the West Ham half, but have yet to truly test Adrian. 

West Ham spending much of their time in their own half. Can they hold on in these latter stages? Villa retaining possession, though have not created a clear chance. 

West Ham stretched. James Collins heads Alan Hutton's header off the line... Villa in the ascendancy. West Ham hanging on. 

Twenty minutes remaining and Villa are threatening. Ashley Westwood with a flick across goal raising pulses without threatening goal. 

Villa's fans have increased the volume and the hosts are continuing to attack. Rudy Gestede again causing problems inside the box, though Adrian gathers a cross after initially fumbling. 

Angelo Ogbonna brings down Rudy Gestede inside the box, leaving Mike Dean with little option but to award the penalty. 

Rudy Gestede shoots on the turn, but Adrian dives low to save. Villa threatening and enjoying the better of this half. 

Mauro Zárate dangerous from the set-pieces... James Collins heading his free-kick wide. Villa showing plenty of spirit, though. 

Villa peppering the West Ham goal. Ashley Westwood this time aiming from distance, but his shot lacks accuracy.

Villa attacking with urgency... Jordan Ayew weaving down the left, but there's no way through so he retains possession and Villa build again... Jordan Veretout with a daisy-cutter which Adrian pushes wide... Momentum is with Villa. 

Villa enjoying plenty of possession...Alan Hutton finds Rudy Gestede who heads wide and falls awkwardly as he lands. The forward is hobbling on the sidelines while play continues. 

Mike Dean gets the second half started and West Ham attack from the off. The visitors earn a corner, but Brad Guzan firmly punches away Mauro Zárate in-swinger. 

The players are out for the start of the second half, with West Ham making a substitution - Carl Jenkinson on for James Tomkins, who suffered a gash to the head in the first half.
