West Ham United vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

SAVE! Martinez makes a fingertip save to help Benrahma's fierce strike towards the top of his goal just over the crossbar! That's a corner, and West Ham are starting to build some momentum now.

McGinn decides that a few feet of space some 30 yards out is an invitation to shoot; however, he sends his ambitious attempt high and wide of the target.

Once again, Emerson makes an important clearance, as Bailey clips the ball towards West Ham's penalty spot. The Hammers' subsequent break soon fizzles out.

Emerson clears a Moreno cross and inadvertently sparks a West Ham counter. At its conclusion, Benrahma embarks on a winding run and tries his luck again; on this occasion his 20-yard shot curls wide of the right-hand post.

Trying to take the shot on first time, Buendia gets under a half-volley from Moreno's latest cross towards the box from Villa's left flank: it flies way over the crossbar.

After a delay as Benrahma receives treatment for an injury, the action resumes and the West Ham man returns to the fray.

SAVE! Martinez makes a smart stop at his near post in the opening moments of the second half, repelling a Benrahma volley from close range! Paqueta popped the ball over the top, but his fellow forward misses another goalscoring opportunity!

West Ham kick off, and we are back under way at London Stadium!
