FT: West Ham 3 Hull 0

And that's it! Emphatic finish to the second-half. Behrami opened the scoring early in the first-half, Carlton Cole made it 2-0 when he slid his effort past Myhill and Faubert rounded off the rout with a piledriver into the top corner. 3-0 West Ham.

90+4 Desperation for Hull now as Altidore snatches the ball down the left and goes for the strike about 30 yards out?! Way over.

90+3 GOAL FAUBERT!!! Faubert collects the ball, takes a few touches and launches an effort into the top corner, superb way to open your account.

90+2 Even though West Ham are in front, the fans are still not happy and urging their players forward.

90+1 Hull go chasing for the ball once more as Parker dictates the play.

90 West Ham are easily in control now and are maintaining possession well.

89 Dawson has taken one for the team again as he hobbles around the pitch following a crunching challenge. He's been in the wars today.

88 Faubert comes inside from the right, he doesn't get closed down quickly enough, so goes for a curling effort - just sails over.

87 Despite the scoreline, Phil Brown should be a little encouraged by his side's second-half fighting spirit. The extra man has proved a major advantage, but the Tigers has showed true grit during this last 45.

86 Crowd chants of "That's why you're going down" follows on from the substitute's effort... harsh!

86 Olofinjana hammers a hopeful effort, from all of 40 yards, well over the bar.

85 James, from London, has emailed in to say he's a Happy Hammer thanks to the scoreline. It's been a very professional performance from West Ham.

85 Superb performance from Diamanti who comes off for Jack Collison.

84 Play resumes as Hull's makeshift defence clear the danger once more.

83 I bet Phil Brown can't wait for today to be over. Boateng has reverted to right-back and everyone else has no option but to drop back.

82 Play has stopped for sometime as Gardner is taken from the field, it's a sad sight to see - he's in some pain right now.

81 Gardner's down after going up to challenge a header and falling really awkwardly, there's just no luck for Phil Brown and his men today. The centre-back hasn't moved from where he fell on the floor and on comes the stretcher.

80 Upson heads Diamanti's cross towards goal, Hull hurriedly clear.

79 Mido gets straight into the action and wins a corner.

78 Carlton Cole gets a standing ovation for his effort and goal today, superb performance - he has to go to the World Cup. On comes Mido.

77 Everything's a little tight for Hull when they're in possession as West Ham are crowding out their opponents and taking full advantage of their extra man.

76 Altidore's doing well down the right and is taking advantage of the space, Dawson's back on now thankfully for Hull.

Olly can't see a way back for Hull now and expects a 4-1 drubbing with Diamanti and Ilan to get on the scoresheet and compound City's misery.

75 Dawson's had to go off for treatment meaning Hull are down to nine men! Brown's used all of his subs, tough times for the Tigers.

74 Altidore should've done better there, he lets the ball run across his body and goes for a first-time effort on the turn, but West Ham do enough to put him off as he skews his shot wide.

73 It's shooting practice for West Ham at the minute as Hull switch off during the corner, they allow Parker to roam into the box and fire a cross in, it falls to Diamanti who goes for the curler - just over the bar.

72 Dawson was at full stretch to deny Faubert's cross, but the full-back looks like he's suffered as a result as he receives treatment on his knee.

72 The crowd are even urging Green to shoot now! City need to get their composure back.

71 My my!! Awesome attempt from Diamanti in his own half to try and chip Myhill who scrambles back and puts it out for a corner.

70 Altidore megs Behrami and goes down under a challenge but doesn't win the foul.

69 Cole lays off a ball to Diamanti who slides in an inviting cross first time, Ilan couldn't connect and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

68 After a promising start, City look like they're flagging now with ten men.

67 Parker is running the midfield at the minute, Hull don't know which way to turn.

66 Can Hull make these changes count and bring back this tie?

65 Cairney comes off for Jozy Altidore, Hunt goes off for Nicky Barmby and Olofinjana is set to come on for the disappointing Amr Zaki.

64 And those prayers of mine seem to be answered as there's a triple substitution pending.

63 Phil Brown must make some changes now surely.

62 Franco makes way after a solid contribution and much to the pleasure of the West Ham fans. On comes Brazilian ace Ilan.

61 West Ham are in their element as Cole has one eye on the World Cup this summer and opts to shoot, but his effort goes wide.

60 There seems very little way back for Hull now as their tired legs are beginning to show with a man down and still half an hour on the clock.

59 GOAL COLE!!! Superb ball from Faubert which eludes the outstretched foot of Gardner to find Cole who times his run to perfection and slides his effort past Myhill

58 Diamanti is looking like West Ham's main threat at the moment as he switches to the right to give Dawson some problems.

57 It's all a bit sloppy at the moment, neither side are piling on the pressure.

56 Phil Brown is yet to change anything, it must be only a matter of time before Altidore comes on - Zaki's just not cutting it today.

55 Parker goes into the book, that's his ninth of the season.

54 West Ham have the ultimate advantage now.

53 Fagan is off! Second bookable offence for the forward as he unnecessarily tugs the shirt of Diamanti in a position which was far from threatening and Fagan gets his marching orders.

52 Again the striker doesn't hold the ball up and sloppily gifts possession back to West Ham.

51 Zaki's proving quite frustrating to watch as Dawson plays in a decent throughball and the Egyptian opts to take on his marker rather than lay it off into the path of a team-mate and loses memento in a promising attack.

50 Zaki connect with a header on the edge of the box but the effort lacks power and Green rises to collect.

49 Hull City are yet to win on their travels all season, could this be an amazing comeback from the Tigers? email your thoughts and score predictions to: hayley.paterson@bskyb.com

49 Parker goes down softly as McShane and Boateng disposs the midfielder, Hull go on the counter.

48 Cole appeals for a Mouyokolo handball right on the edge of the area, but play is waved on.

47 McShane does well to surge forward and finds Dawson, his ball into the box is a rather laboured attempt to connect to it by Zaki and the chance goes.

46 Fagan is stopped in his tracks on the edge of the box as Phil Brown hopes his side continues in the same vein as what they finished the half in.

And that's it for this half. West Ham go into the interval 1-0 up thanks to a bit of fortune and a good finish from Valon Behrami with just three minutes on the clock. The Tigers were slowly getting back into the game and finished the half as the better side with Green denying Boateng. 1-0 West Ham.

45+1 Hull are finishing the half the better as West Ham panickly clear every ball into the box.

45 Brilliant save from Green as he tips over a Boateng effort. The veteran midfielder showed good composure to steal a yard from his marker and fire it towards goal but the keeper was equal to it.

44 Cairney complains Parker wasn't ten yards away after firing his effort straight at the midfielder.

43 Hunt finally gets the free-kick he's been looking for and it seems like it was the softest of the lot! But it's a free-kick to Hull down this left hand side.

42 Tensions are running high as Zaki and Behrami clash this time, the ref does well to calm them both down.

42 It's the first time I've seen Zaki all game and he does well to force a thrown-in for his side.

41 Spector and Diamanti combine well to see Fagan roll the ball out under pressure for a goal-kick.

40 Dawson rolls it back to Myhill who, under very little pressure, spanks the ball out into the stands.

39 Boateng gets a talking to from the ref after another juicy challenge.

38 Hunt is looking uncharacteristically nervous this half as he tries to carry the ball down the left and instead goes down rather cheaply, no foul.

37 I think Fagan was far too close to the microphones on the sidelines there as he voices his... shall we say 'displeasure'... at Diamanti's apparant dive.

36 Cairney didn't really have any confidence or control over that effort as he meets the ball first-time from a drilled cross but fires wide.

35 Cairney does well to slip away from Parker and win the ball but the youngster goes for an early shot which is blocked and play breaks down.

34 Phil Brown is absolutely screaming at his side to pressure the ball more.

33 It's getting a little scrappy at the moment, again it's McShane and Franco in the middle of it, the Irishman looks like he's cut his head too.

32 West Ham seem pretty pleased with the first half hour's action, but Hull are not done just yet as Fagan muscles in for another tackle.

31 Parker's getting a lot of the ball through this centre and wins a foul.

30 There's no love lost between McShane and Franco as the pair go in for another feisty challenge. The West Ham striker's even got a scratch on his neck from the previous battles!

29 Franco's having no joy at the moment as he gets pulled up again for backing in.

28 Outstanding goalkeeping by Boaz Myhill!! Absolutely stunning save to deny a Behrami header at the backpost after a brilliant ball from Diamanti. The keeper was in the back of his net by the end of that save! Superb stuff.

27 Myhill's seeing plenty of the ball in this half hour, but West Ham need to make their pressure count.

27 Hunt takes a tumble down the left but ref Martin Atkinson waves play on.

26 Fagan gets a booking for a lunge on Parker.

25 Behrami should've done better there, he had time on the ball down the right and lofted in a cross but Myhill gets to it before Cole.

24 The Tigers are all at sixes and sevens at the back at the moment, they're struggling a little with the pace of the home side's attacks.

23 Behrami could've added to his tally there as Dawson gets caught on the ball and can only watch on as the West Ham man steams in and fires towards goal - Myhill saves well.

22 Diamanti's looking hungry as he runs onto the ball and launches a long range effort over the bar, Parker was in a glorious position through the middle but the Italian failed to spot him.

21 Faubert lofts a deep ball to the far post, Diamanti shapes up for the left footed volley but mis-cues and puts it wide.

20 McShane gets his own back as he rags down Franco when the pair go up for a header, free-kick West Ham.

19 Handbags! McShane and Franco square up head-to-head after the Irish defender shows he is far from happy because the Hammers striker went in with an elbow during a challenge.

18 The away side are pressuring West Ham's back four well, Phil Brown should be more encouraged by his side's response to that early goal.

18 McShane fires a ball into the box from the right-hand side, but again it's too close to Rob Green.

16 Cairney curls a teasing ball to the backpost, Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink rises highest but can't get enough power on the header.

16 Bit of a frisky backpass there to Green who does well to control it, Hull's strikers should've been running in there to pressure the England shot-stopper.

15 Fagan does well down the left to sneak a cross into the box, Upson clears.

14 Hunt goes for the inswinger but it's far too close to the keeper as Green collects easily.

13 Hull win a free-kick in a good position down the right after a Kovac foul.

12 Upson's mopping up at the back well, but Hull are slowly enjoying a bit more possession in the West Ham final third.

11 Parker gets to the ball and unleashes a decent effort towards goal, but it's right down the throat of Myhill.

10 Hunt's got his slippers on at the moment as he tries to keep the ball in play and instead gifts a corner.

10 Cole's causing Mouyokolo problems at the back with his strength as the England striker wins another corner.

9 Cole goes for the volley around 20 yards out and skews it just wide, decent chance after Hull failed to clear well from their own box.

8 Everything's very compact at the moment, Hull can't seem to get their foot on the ball.

7 Hunt is on completely the wrong page to Dawson as the Irish international tries to release the full-back down the left but fails to deliver and the ball goes for a throw-in.

6 The Tigers are a little shell-shocked at the moment and are struggling to cope with the Hammers' attacks.

5 Kovac sneaks a yard past his marker to head just over the bar.

4 Hull just can't seem to get a foothold on this game as West Ham press.

3 GOAL BEHRAMI!! The midfielder scores his first in the Premier League. He goes for the one-two, it cannons back off a Hull leg but Behrami rode his luck to latch on to the ball and slide it home. 1-0 West Ham

2 Very bright start for West Ham, Diamanti flights an inviting ball into the box, Myhill collects.

2 Diamanti goes for the curler to the nearpost - superb effort which nearly caught Myhill out, the keeper recovered well.

2 Hunt lets Faubert knows he's there with a mis-timed tackle down the right!

1 Zaki has his first run down the flank, but the ball carries aimlessly out for a goal kick.

And we're off!

Paul, aka the only Tiger in South Africa, foresees a comfortable 3-1 win to Hull, what does everyone else think? The sides are coming out onto the pitch now... it's a key game this one, let's hope the game matches up to the occasion.

West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola makes two changes for the visit of Hull in the Premier League at Upton Park. Back injury victim Herita Ilunga has been replaced by Jonathan Spector, while striker Mido makes way for fit-again Guille Franco.

Hull, who have not won any of their previous 13 away league matches this term, make one change from their 1-0 defeat at Blackburn with Amr Zaki preferred to American Jozy Altidore upfront.

West Ham win 8/11, Draw 5/2, Hull win 4/1

West Ham starting line-up: Green, Faubert, Tomkins, Upson, Spector, Behrami, Parker, Kovac, Diamanti, Franco, Cole. Subs: Stech, Ilan, Mido, Noble, Da Costa, Collison, Stanislas.
