Key events
90 + 2 min: There should have been a foul there as Greenwood is clearly challenged with an arm around the neck but nothing was given. Is this a fair assessment from Kevin: “Everton are going to beat Bournemouth, surely? You don’t deserve to stay up if you can’t beat them at home now they’re safe. What Leeds and Leicester do is moot now.”
90 min: Leeds have a corner and it comes to Summerville but Coufal blocks. There are seven minutes added here, plenty of time for another goal!
90 min: Emerson does well to stop a cross coming to Gnonto and West Ham counter. They get into the box and it falls to Ings, he takes one too many touches and Robles is able to get to it.
89 min: Koch receives a yellow card for a challenge and time is slowly running out for Leeds here.
88 min: Rodrigo’s shot is deflected behind for a corner! Can they get an equaliser? Not yet, Fabianski punches the threat away.
87 min: Ayling is visibly frustrated here, he is creating a lot for his side but it just isn’t coming off. Mary has emailed and said: “Everton fan sweating out relegation. Big Sam is everyone’s favourite punching bag but even though his style of Football is painfully dull there is a reason that teams reach out to him when they are in trouble.” It seems it will come down to the last day to see if Allardyce can save them!
85 min: West Ham make another change as Bowen comes off for Lanzini. And Leeds make more changes as they try and get the win here – Greenwood and Roca are on. Summerville and Aaronson have two punts at goal but they don’t come off.
83 min: Emerson takes the free kick and is it headed on but Robles collects.
83 min: Fornals makes a great run and his cross almost find Bowen. It comes to Rice more than 60 yards out and the West Ham supporters shout ‘shoot’ but the captain doesn’t bite. Rodrigo challenges Emerson and gets a yellow for it, a free kick in a great position.
81 min: Ogbonna is okay to continue and we are back underway.
80 min: A foul comes in on Ogbonna and Summerville gets a yellow for the challenge. Ogbonna needs some treatment so there is a break in play.
79 min: Ayling puts in a peach of a cross but none of his teammates make an attempt to score, Ayling puts his hands in the air with frustration. And here come West Ham once again, Kristensen comes to the rescue again. Another Hammers goal and this game is done.
77 min: Leeds have a chance as Summerville has it in the box but it gets stuck under his feet, it comes back out but the ball is over the bar. They need to produce something and something quickly.
76 min: Leeds supporters silenced, fans’ hands on their heads, they need to get behind the club now more than ever! Bowen makes a great run again and lays it off to Rice who passes to Fornals – his shot is skied after a great tackle from Ayling.
75 min: And instead of Leeds coming to life to try and save something from this, it is West Ham who keep coming. This time Bowen is ruled offside but this does not look good for Leeds.
74 min: Boos ring around the London Stadium as it takes a while to decide but the goal stands! Allardyce looks fuming, he pops a chewing gum in his mouth as his team currently coming away with this with no points.
GOAL! West Ham 2-1 Leeds (Bowen, 72′)
Oh my god, it is in by a whisker! It think this may be checked for offside, Ings lays it off to Bowen who scores. Leeds players arms in the air as they think he is offside.
72 min: West Ham are continuing their second half domination here and Frank has got in touch about our snack chat: “We do in fact have sunchips in the UK. They’re what we call sunbites. A personal favourite of mine.” There we go!
70 min: Fornals makes a great pass to find Ings in the box, he can’t quite get a shot away. It pings around West Ham players until Kristensen intercepts and clears.
69 min: Soucek is okay to continue but his nose looks battered. We are back in action.
68 min: The break continues as Soucek is checked over. A reminder Leeds are still in the relegation zone if this result stays as it is.
67 min: Paqueta gets a yellow card for a foul on Summerville. Soucek is down as he gets an accidental hit to the face in an aerial challenge, he is receiving treatment so there is a break in play.
65 min: Allardyce is screaming at his players to get in the box, the corner comes in and Fabianksi catches. The keeper sets them off on a counter and Summerville does really well to get back to close down Bowen’s cross. West Ham corner now is cleared away. All action!
64 min: Gnonto throws his hands in the air as he thinks Paqueta has hand balled and play continues but the referee does pull it back. McKennie’s long throw in is called upon again. It comes in and Soucek heads away for a corner!
63 min: Leeds are making changes with Harrison off for Summerville and Forshaw is off for Aaronson. I thought Harrison was having a good game, key in some of the chances.
61 min: What a save from Robles! Bowen smacks it in and Coufal has a head to it but Robles hooks it out for another corner. Emerson takes this one but it is cleared.
61 min: Robert has got in touch and said: “Leeds fan here. Three coffees in one day is fine. I’m in my third pint during this game. I recommend beer instead.” Maybe I’ll make another coffee shortly then, no beer for me as I’m on the clock! West Ham have a corner to come.
60 min: West Ham counter and they get it in the box, Ings spins to take the shot but it is blocked! The hosts so close to taking the lead there. Bowen then makes a run and takes a shot but Robles saves – the offside flag is raised regardless.
58 min: A miscommunication in the Leeds team sees a chance go begging as Harrison crosses in. Gnonto was making a great run but McKennie heads it first, a wasted chance!
58 min: Emerson is fouled and West Ham have a free kick, it is a long way out so they would have to build from deep. They take it short and in the end Kristensen does enough to disrupt the chance – he has been a crucial player for the visitors today.
56 min: Forshaw tries to clear but his pass only gives West Ham a good throw in opportunity. It sets up a good attack but Kristensen dispossess Ings. Is it too much to have three coffees in one day? I’m deliberating.
55 min: Paqueta finds Soucek but his cross isn’t found by a West Ham player. The hosts being given too much space and time on the ball now, they feel in total control.
54 min: Rodrigo makes a run and has a one-on-one chance but Fabianski saves – the offside flag is then raised. West Ham with sustained possession again, they are playing well here – Leeds not really having a good footing in this second half yet.
52 min: The foul from Gnonto sees a free kick that Bowen takes. It’s cleared initially but it comes to Paqueta whose shot is well saved by Robles.
51 min: Gnonto fouls Coufal this time, he needs to be careful – that is three successive fouls now.
50 min: Stuijk gifts a free kick in a good position for West Ham and this could set up a scoreable opportunity. Bowen takes it but Struijk heads away, quelling the threat he created. Gnonto is judged to have nudged a West Ham player, the Leeds fans not happy with the call.
48 min: Kristensen intercepts a ball meant for Ings, the defender has had a good game so far. Ayling fins Gnoto on the edge of the box but he can’t control. Gnoto then gives away possession with a foul on Bowen.
47 min: Sinclair the latest to have a take on Big Sam: “In the Bolton era, I remember his Bigness had, to my mind, constructed the most cosmopolitan of teams, a great shape that pulled the strengths out of an incredibly disparate group, and Sam knew enough to leave them space to play. It’s as if he hasn’t trusted the level of the teams he’s had since?” Back to the game and both sides are settling into this second half.
Back underway! West Ham 1-1 Leeds
We are back underway at the London Stadium. Can Leeds find their important winner? Or will West Ham seal victory on their last home game of the season? All action to come over the next 45. West Ham have made a half time change, Zouma is off for Kehrer.
