1651 FULL TIME. Saints Win comfortably after goals from Morgan Schnederlin and Graziano Pelle cancel out Mark Noble's deflected effort in the first half. Set Pieces were West Ham's undoing as they defended poorly and Southampton and Ronald Koeman will go home happy
1650 Southampton fans enjoying the OLE football as no doubt they'll be happy to take the 3 points away from Upton Park
1649 West Ham sloppy in posession concede a costless kick in their own half. Something which has been their undoing today on set pieces
1644 West ham have been poor today, and the fans are voting with their feet. Southampton now are dominating the possession and look comfortable for their win
1640 GOOOOOOOALLLLL Graziano Pelle gets his first Premier League goal, Clyne's cross is parried out by Adrian and it falls into the path of Pelle who hammers it home. The 3 points are heading to St Mary's
1637 Enner Valencia on for Carlton Cole
1635 Saints almost go 3-1 up after Adrian has to save well from Ramriez's shot
1632 Neither side really making strides. Southampton understandably are shutting up shop to take their first 3 points
1629 Ward Prowse off for Jack Cork
1624 GOOOOOOOOALLLLL Schnederlin's second of the day, West Ham's poor defending means that Ward-Prowse's ball from a short corner finds the French man who puts Saints 2-1 up
1623 A promising counter attack is cut short when yet again Downing's poor play results in Southampton getting the ball back
1623 Long has a tame effort on goal which is easily saved by Adrian

1613 Reid gives away a sloppy costless-kick which gives Saints a decent costless kick chance
1610 A good effort from Tadic looks like its creeping in until Adrian saves well. Southampton have started the second half much better. Passing well and look the more likely to score the 3rd goal of the game
1607 Some dangerous play by Southampton causes Clyne to play a dangerous ball in the box but no one can apply the finish. West Ham then counter with Cole putting his effort Wide
1605 Long has an effort from range which needs a good save from Adrian
1604 the sides are out for the second half, West Ham get us under way
1558 Both sides are level at the break. Neither side have created many chances but have taken both of the chances that have fallen their way. West Ham's was slightly more fortunate but both goals have followed from poor defending. Will be interesting to see if this theme continues after the break
1549 The Referee blows the whistle for Half Time
1546 Some suspicions that Pelle applied the final touch. One for the dubious goal panel

1543 The Left side again is causing West Ham problems but Bertrand is ushered out by Tomkins on this occassion for a Goal Kick
1541 A solid west ham midfield is keeping Southampton at bay. Shane Long's position on the right is making him look totally alien to the position. More width needed if they want to get back in to this
1535 Tadic again causing problems down the left. His ball finds its way to Ward Prowse who's half volley finds a man in row Z
1532 Graziano Pelle has his header cleared off the line. Despite it being a tame effort it's so far been Southamptons best chance

1521 Both Sides are battling it out in midfield now as West Ham begin to get a foothold in the game. Noble is making some nice passes along with stopping the flow of Southampton's play. Still 0-0 with neither side creating a major chance
1516 A long range effort from Davis goes well wide of the goal
