Five additional minutes.

The ball strikes his arm, but as his arm was going to the ground for support, it's no pen.

Huge appeal for a handball by Chelsea after Gallagher's shot is blocked by Soucek! The ball strikes his arm, but VAR says play on!
86'
Time's running out for both.
84'
No goal!! Rice was miles off from the first ball! In fact, Rice and Soucek were both miles off from the first ball. It wasn't even close and that was a shocker by the lino. That's why we have VAR.
83'
Rice looks clearly offside from the initial ball, but Soucek looks to be on from the rebound. VAR is checking, but I think this will be disallowed.
82'
West Ham take the lead!! Emerson's free-kick is headed by Rice, Kepa saves and then Soucek taps in!
Coufal gets the first card of the game after tripping Mudryk just outside the area. Clear.

45'
HT: West Ham 1-1 Chelsea!! Half-time at the London Stadium and Chelsea have been the much better side, but it's 1-1. Chelsea had the ball in the net three times in the first 25 minutes, but only Felix's 16th minute goal counted. Then, just before the half hour, Emerson levelled against his old club. Felix has had the best chance since 1-1 with a free-kick, but it's all to play for in the second 45. Back shortly!

Goal disallowed
22'
Havertz has the ball in the net, but this won't count!! Mudryk plays in Havertz, he goes around the GK and scores, but the flag's up! There is a Hammers leg there, but I think Havertz's body is leaning offside.
22'
Chelsea are continuing to dominate as they look for a second. It couldn't have been a worse start for the hosts.
19'
It could've been a foul as Mudryk didn't get the ball. Only seen one quick replay though.
18'
VAR confirms the goal and Bowen is back. Chelsea have been dominant so far.

Felix scores, but the flag's up!! James' long ball from his own half finds Felix, his finish lobs the 'keeper, but strikes the far upright and the Portuguese taps in the rebound. He was just off though.
