FULL-TIME City will be relieved to hear the sound of the final whsitle. Both sides take a point apiece from a competitive but uninspiring encounter.

90 + 2 - Superb save Cole's header is tiupped over the bar by Hart.

90 - Substitution Spector comes on for Bowyer. Three minutes of stoppage time have been signalled.

89 - No luck for Ljungberg Ljungberg motors past Corluka but blasts his shot into the side netting.

88 - No signs of a goal It seems a long time ago that Vassell drew City level and there is little to suggest that either side really believes they can win this game. At the moment they are just going through the motions.

86 - Caution Noble is booked for dissent.

84 - Caution Bowyer and Geovanni are booked after a run-in in midfield.

83 - Dragged wide Ljungberg darts in from the left but drills his shot wide of the near post.

81 - Injury scare for Petrov Petrov is caught by McCartney down the City right but is fit to continue.

78 - Substitution Elano is replaced by Garrido after another quiet afternoon.

76 - Hart keeps City level West Ham pour forward but Hart saves Noble's powerful effort smartly with his feet.

74 - DisallowedFaubert turns the ball home for West Ham but the goal is ruled out for a foul by Bowyer in the box.

71 - Substitution Boa Morte is quickly withdrawn by Curbishley as Faubert comes on for the closing stages.

70 - Boa Morte survives Referee Phil Dowd pulls Boa Morte over to speak to him after a foul on Hamann. Boa Morte has already been booked and Dowd decides to spare him.

69 - Substitution Ireland makes way for Geovanni. City have been brighter in the last 15 minutes and Eriksson obviously feels the game is there to be won.

68 - Great strike Bianchi volleys powerfully from the edge of the area but Green saves comfortably.

66 - Poor effort Elano attempts a powerful drive from a free-kick 35 yards out. It is well hit but a long way over the bar.

62 - Too extravagant City enjoy a good spell of possession but Petrov ruins it with a ridiculous flick that goes out for a West Ham throw-in.

59 - Hart to the rescue Hart leaps to his left to tip Mullins' shot wide of the post.

58 - Substitution Fernandes comes on in place of Vassell for City.

57 - A close shave Cole's glancing header flies across the face of goal as City survive another scare.

55 - Ireland denied Anton Ferdinand races across to block Ireland's shot from a tight angle on the left.

51 - Caution Boa Morte is booked for a rash challenge on Vassell.

49 - Hammers start strongly West Ham have enjoyed most of the possession since the break but they are not rewarded for their dominance as Noble blazes over when well set.

Back underway West Ham get the second half started.

HALF-TIME The sides go into the break level. West Ham may feel they should be ahead but City have fought their way back and there is still everything to play for.

43 - Chance for West Ham Cole latches onto a pass from Noble and looks to skip round Hart, but he cannot shrug off Richards.

40 - City on the break City counter-attack swiftly but Bianchi cannot find Richards, who has sprinted forward from his own box.

37 - Evenly matched There have been few chances since Vassell equalised for City and there is little to choose between the sides as we approach half-time.

33 - Caution Dunne is yellow carded for barging into Boa Morte. The West Ham midfielder has the wind knocked out of him but gingerly gets back to his feet.

30 - Routine save for Green Ireland cannot connect properly with a shot from the edge of the area and Green saves comfortably.

29 - Elano off the pace again Elano has been in hibernation since about September and there are few signs of him waking from his slumber as his contribution so far has been less than impressive.

27 - Caution Neill is booked for a late tackle on Petrov.

23 - Ambitious Bianchi tries his luck from 25 yards out but his effort flies high and wide.

20 - Petrov on the charge Petrov skips away from Noble but the West Ham midfielder tracks back to put in a well-timed challenge on the edge of the box.

16 - GOAL Vassell pokes the ball home from close range after a goalmouth scramble. He appears to be offside moments earlier and City are lucky to be level.

13 - Hammers still on top West Ham fully deserve their early lead and are continuing to push forward in pursuit of a second.

10 - Deflected wide Petrov's long-range free-kick is deflected wide for a corner.

8 - GOAL Cole improvises brilliantly from Ljungberg's cross to fire an overhead kick past Hart. Sloppy work from Dunne in the build-up to the goal.

7 - Good challenge Boa Morte's attempted cross is charged down by Corluka and goes out for a corner.

4 - Hart denies Ljungberg Hart rushes off his line to gather the ball before Ljunbgerg can latch on to it.

3 - Scrappy start Neither side is able to put two passes together in a frantic start to the match.
