Full time: West Bromwich Albion 4-2 West Ham United
90' +2
West Brom break on the counter attack and have numbers flooding forward, but Phillips goes for goal himself but drags his shot wide from 20 yards out.
90' +1
We're into five minutes of stoppage time now as Payet puts in another dangerous cross and once again it's Antonio who gets his head to it but this time he can only head wide!
89'
CLOSE FOR ROBSON-KANU!! So nearly a debut goal for Robson-Kanu as Phillips whips a delightful ball across the face of goal and the Welshman is inches away from getting a touch on it as he slides in behind Collins.
87'
H. Robson-Kanu enters the game and replaces S. Rondón.
Tony Pulis makes his third and final change as Salomón Rondón is replaced by debutant Hal Robson-Kanu!
86'
A. Nyom gets yellow.
S. Féghouli gets yellow.
Sofiane Feghouli is booked for protesting against Mark Clattenburg's decision not to award West Ham a penalty after Payet went down in the box. There didn't look to be much contact!
Nyom may have thought he'd escaped caution but referee Clattenburg goes back to book him for a foul on Feghouli earlier in the move.
85'
Morrison finds McClean on the left hand corner of the box as West Brom look to seal the win, but his shot is straight at Adrian, who makes a bit of a mess of the save but the danger is easily cleared.
82'
WHAT A SAVE BY FOSTER!!! Wonderful skill from Antonio to dance past McClean and drill a low cross towards James Collins, but the centre-back's clean connection is superbly saved by Foster diving to his left. Tony Pulis would have been furious had that gone in as he felt there was a West Ham handball in the build-up.
81'
Lanzini has a go from 30 yards out but hits it with little power and it's comfortably blocked by McCauley. West Brom won't mind too much if they can keep West Ham to long range efforts in the last 10 minutes.
79'
HUGE CHANCE FOR PHILLIPS!! Big chance for Matt Phillips to wrap it up at the back post having been picked out by McClean's deep cross, but he takes too long over the shot and West Ham are able to get enough defenders across to smother the shot.

Description
77'
A. Fletcher enters the game and replaces A. Masuaku.
Feghouli lays the ball off for Payet to run onto on the edge of the box, but the shot isn't one of the Frenchman's best and Foster watches it go high over his crossbar.

75'

James Morrison is now going to come on to make his first appearance since the opening day of the season, replacing the scorer of two of West Brom’s goals Nacer Chadli.
73'
Nyom makes a good tackle inside his own half but runs out of options as he looks forward and West Brom are back on the back foot again. They're really struggling to get out of their own half now!

68'
A. Nyom enters the game and replaces B. Galloway.
Tony Pulis makes his first substitution as Brendon Galloway is replaced by Allan Nyom. James Morrison looked to be coming on as well but Pulis appears to have changed his mind and Morrison is sent back to the bench.
67'
The game has suddenly come alive and West Brom look rather panicky now!! Feghouli and Calleri, the two half time substitutions for West Ham, may not have been involved in the goals directly but they've changed the complexion of this game!

Having come so close from the free-kick moments earlier, Payet shows hisquality with an inch perfect cross for Antonio!
GOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!! Just when you thought it was game over West Ham pull a goal back. Feghouli’s cross is kept alive by Payet down the left hand side of the box and he stands up a wonderful cross which Antonio heads in to reduce the deficit back to 4-1! Game on!!
60'
SO CLOSE FROM PAYET!!!!! Payet is fouled 25 yards out from goals by Jonny Evans, and the Frenchman picks himself up to rattle the free-kick against the post!!!
56'
N. Chadli has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion! Assist by S. Rondón.
Rondon could easily have taken the shot on himself, but delayed shooting until Chadli arrived and left the Belgian an easy tap in.
GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!! IT’S FOUR!!!!!! West Ham throw almost everybody forward for a corner, but having taken in short Antonio gives the ball away to Darren Fletcher, who feeds Rondon on half way and the striker has a clean run through on goal and squares the ball for Chadli to tap the ball into an empty net and put West Brom 4-0 up with more than half an hour to play.

S. Féghouli enters the game and replaces M. Noble.
Slaven Bilic has wasted no time and makes a double change at half-time with Sofiane Feghouli and Jonathon Calleri coming on in place of Zaza and Noble.

45' +1
Two minutes of added time are being played as cries of 'olay' ring out around The Hawthorns.
44'
J. McClean has scored a goal for West Bromwich Albion! Assist by N. Chadli.
Chadli had acres of space inside the box and while his shot wasn't the cleanest of strikes, McClean got the vital touch to ensure it evaded Adrian.
GOOAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!! MCCLEAN MAKES IT 3-0!!!!! West Ham fail to clear Phillips’s inswinging corner, and as Chadli drills the ball back towards goal, McClean sticks out a boot and diverts the ball into the corner for his first Premier League goal in a West Brom shirt.
43'
C. Dawson gets yellow.
Craig Dawson is shown a yellow card for an earlier foul on Masuaku.

35'
HUGE CHANCE FOR ANTONIO! Payet drives at the West Brom defence before playing a delightful chip over the top for Antonio, but Foster does superbly to come off his line and block the winger's shot with his chest at close range.
34'
CLOSE!!!! Manuel Lanzini gets away from Yacob on the edge of the box and fires inches wide of the West Brom goal. Foster looked to be well beaten had that been on target there.
32'
West Ham can't find any way through the middle and are looking to get the ball wide as often as possible, particularly down the right hand side, but West Brom are remaining resolute so far.
30'
Nordtveit swings in another cross, this time from the left hand side, but Zaza opts to go for a spectacular bicycle kick from 18 yards out and completely misses the ball.
28'
Masuaku is enduring a torrid time out there today, first conceding a free-kick just inside his own half for a foul on Phillips, before attempting a wild clearance inside his own box which goes straight up in the air causing chaos for Adrian, who eventually gathers on the second attempt.
26'
Chance for West Brom! The home side counter attack down the left and McClean puts a dangerous cross towards Phillips at the back post, but the former Queens Park Rangers winger fluffs the volley horribly from eight yards out.
24'

22'
The home crowd have quietened down since the early goal as West Ham have started to enjoy more of the ball, but their side are sitting deep and look comfortable without the ball.
20'
Antonio is involved once more as the ball sits up kindly for him on the edge of the box, but Claudio Yacob gets a good block in on the shot and the ball balloons in the air for Ben Foster to easily gather.
18'
West Ham enjoying some joy down the right hand side early on here as Antonio wins another corner, which is taken by Dimitri Payet but comfortably headed clear by Rondon.
16'
Antonio looks to get in behind Galloway again down the right hand side, but McClean does well to track back and help his left-back out and deflect the ball out for a corner. Simone Zaza gets his head to the corner at the near post but can only head wide from a tight angle.
13'
Antonio looks to break away on the halfway line but Galloway pulls him back and concedes the free-kick, perhaps lucky to escape a booking!
11'
Tony Pulis will be delighted by the start his side have made to this game but is still barking instructions from the touchline.
8'
Penalty goal scored by N. Chadli for West Bromwich Albion!
PENALTY TO WEST BROM!!!!
GOOAAALLLLLLL!!!! Phillips whips in the free-kick and Masuaku inexplicably handles the ball again under no real pressure, and Mark Clattenburg points to the spot allowing Nacer Chadli to calmly roll the ball into the corner and give his side the lead.
7'
Arthur Masuaku is penalised for handball close to the corner flag while attempting to close down Phillips, and West Brom have a free-kick in a danergous area.
4'
Michail Antonio, who's scored four of West Ham's five league goals this season, looks to drive into the West Brom area from the right hand touchline but is well crowded out by Brendan Galloway and McClean.
1'
Kick-off! West Brom get us underway here at The Hawthorns Stadium.
Nearly a wonderful start for West Brom as Matt Phillips gets in down the right hand edge of the penalty box but his dangerous cross just evades Salomon Rondon in the six yard box. James McClean then finds space on the edge of the box just moments later but shoots straight at Adrian in the West Ham goal.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Premier League clash between West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United at The Hawthorns Stadium.
Both sides go into the game languishing in the bottom half of the table having won just one league game apiece this season, but West Brom manager Tony Pulis will be hoping the completion of the club’s takeover deal by Chinese company Yunyi Guokai Sports Development Limited earlier this week, will have given his side a confidence boost following their defeat at Bournemouth last time out.
West Ham were also beaten in their last game, losing 4-2 at home to Watford despite holding a 2-0 lead just after half an hour, and currently sit just a point above the relegation zone in 17th place, but Slaven Bilic knows a win today could see his side move into the top half of the table if other results go their way.
Both sides make two changes from last weekend, with James McClean and Salomon Rondon replacing Sam Field and Saido Berahino for West Brom, while Havard Nordtveit and Angelo Ogbonna come into the West Ham defence in place of Sam Byram and Winston Reid.
Hal Robson-Kanu is included in the West Brom squad for the first time following his heroics at the European Championships with Wales over the summer, while Sofiane Feghouli is included on the West Ham bench having recovered from a hamstring injury which has kept him out of action since August.
Half-time! West Bromwich Albion 1-0 West Ham United
West Brom have only scored two league goals all season prior to today, but goals from Chadli, Rondon and McClean have given them a 3-0 lead at the break, while West Ham looked shell-shocked!
Slaven Bilic will have the consolation of knowing his side enjoyed lots of comfortable possession in that first half, and had Michail Antonio taken his chance with the score at 1-0 it could well be a different story, but he will know that breaking down Tony Pulis's well organised defence will be tough and an early goal could be key to his side getting back into the game.
It’s all over here at The Hawthorns and for the second week running West Ham have been beaten 4-2! A wonderful result for West Brom at the end of a week where speculation over the future of Tony Pulis has been rife, while problems mount for Slaven Bilic after just one win in five league games to start this season.
That's all from us here at The Hawthorns today, thanks for joing us and we hope to see you again soon.
