Welcome to live coverage of the English Premier League match between West Ham and Aston Villa.

Aston Villa escaped with a 1-1 draw at West Ham on Sunday after the hosts were denied a stoppage-time winner by a prolonged VAR check.

But Mavropanos' goal was eventually ruled out, one of three chalked off for the Hammers, to spare Villa from a damaging defeat.Fourth-placed Villa are now three points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham in the race to qualify for next season's Champions League via a top-four finish. The breakthrough came after 29 minutes when Coufal swung in another cross and the diving Antonio got in front of Ezri Konsa to nod in his first goal since August.

An equaliser looked inevitable, and it came in the 79th minute when Tielemans sent Moussa Diaby scampering down the right.
