90 - Penalty for Spurs Stunning save from Green! Defoe strikes low but it was a brilliant save.

89 - Aston snap-shot: The strike hits powerfully at goal and Robsinson saves well. From the resulting corner, McCartney leaps well and heads at goal. He is denied by Jenas who heads off the line.

84 - Parker close: The former Newcaslte man attempt a cheeky effort, but Robinson does well to parry wide.

81 - Defoe yellow: The striker is booked for dissent - the home fans cheers. Meanwhile, Solano is replaced by Spector.

80 - Positive: Cole does well as he powers at goal, before cutting in a shooting wide.

78 - Fizzing effort: Malbranque powers an effort at Green after some good chasing by Bale. Meanwhile, Keane goes off for Defoe, who is greeted by boos.

72 - West Ham sub: Aston comes on for the tireless Luis Boa Morte.

68 - Yellow: Etherington is booked for a rash tackle.

67 - GOAL!!! Dawson scores! Green is at fault as he comes out to claim a Jenas free-kick and gets nowhere near the ball. Dawson punishes him with a towering header that drops off the bar into and empty net.

63 - West Ham sub: Noble is replaced by Scott Parker.

57 - Gabbidon carded: The Welshman is booked for a clumsy foul, presenting Spurs with an excellent chance to test Green with a free-kick from just outside the area. Bale strikes it but it was rather tame.

54 - Spurs sub: Kaboul trudges off for Bent. Striker on for a centre-back then, interesting...

53 - Yellow: Dawson goes into the referee's notepad after pulling on Boa Morte's shirt.

51 - Chimbonda booked: Yellow card for the Spurs man after moaning at Riley.

50 - Spurs chance: Jenas bombs forward and slides a ball into Malbranque, however the Frenchman bends his effort wide. The linesman's flag may have been up, but it was a poor miss from the midfielder.

Second half: Spurs get the second period underway.

HALF-TIME: Riley brings the first half to a close. As the referee walks off Keane hammers him with protests about his controversial decision not to award Spurs a penalty. Moving onto a mini round-up, West Ham just about deserve their lead after demonstrating more of a cutting edge when going forward. Kaboul looks shaky for Tottenham, while Berbatov has moaned his heart out when things have not gone his way. Here's hoping for another eventful 45.

40 - Riley madness: Ramos is furious after seeing Keane felled in the box. Keane is clean through after a tight call from the linesman, he then dinks over Green and gets caught by the keeper's boot. No penalty awarded, despite the Irishman being floored and Green not coming close to making contact with the ball.

38 - Cole on fire: Poor pun I know, but the striker is in impressive form as he deftly passes to Etherington with the outside of his boot; the home fans applaud Cole's flair.

Final ball: Spurs have enjoyed some good possession, however they have often lacked the final piece of the puzzle in order to slip one of their forward's through. In other news, Paul Robinson is receiving plenty of verbal from the home crowd as the weekend theme of bashing England players continues.

27 - Poor anticipation: Bale's deep cross catches Berbatov unaware. He eventually manages to get the ball under control but he was sluggish, and eventually swipes his strike wide.

26 - Clever Cole: Superb ball from Cole sees Boa Morte squeeze through. He powers a shot at goal but Robinson does superbly to block for a corner

24 - Counter-attack: The Hammers stream forward in impressive fashion before Mullins hits a vicious low shot at Robinson. The Spurs stopper just about manages to hold onto the ball.

20 - GOAL!!! West Ham score! Kaboul has an absolute nightmare as his clearance deflects off Boa Morte for the winger to speed through. He does well, before releasing the overlapping Solano. The Peruvian then passes across goal for Carlton Cole to tap home.

16 - Danger: Jenas hits a free-kick into a dangerous area and McCartney clears well. It was a difficult ball for the full-back to deal with, and his volley could have ended up anywhere.

14 - Lucky Paul: Robinson comes out to claim a high free-kick and spills the ball. He gets lucky, though, as Mike Riley awards a foul.

12 - Another yellow: Cole is booked for a collision with Bale - a harsh decision.

8 - Zokora booked: The midfielder receives a yellow card for a wild and unsavoury challenge on Gabbidon.

7 - Dawson down: The centre-back recieves some treatment after a clash with Cole. He should be fine though.

4 - Goal disallowed: Jenas smashes an effort from just outside the area and Green parries. Lennon was lurking and tapped home, but the goal was rightly ruled out for offside.

2 - Lennon burst: The pacey winger zooms down the right wing and wins a corner. However, the corner-kick is comfortably cleared by The Hammers defence.

1 - Early pressing: Keane chases what seems like a lost cause, however he pressures Green to rush his clearance and the ball clatters off the Irishman. Fortunately for Green, the rebound goes out for a throw.

Kick-off: The home side get the game underway.

We're just moments away from kick-off here at Upton Park as the West Ham faithful roar out a rendition of 'I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles'. Can Spurs record their first away Premier League victory of the season? And will this fixture live up to last season's drama? Only time will tell.
