Mings slows things right down by strolling around at the back and keeping the ball for Villa. They have been picked apart several times in this first half, for all their dominance of possession.

JUST WIDE! Meeting Benrahma's superb inswinging cross from the right, Zouma heads wide of the left-hand post when he really should have scored! West Ham could easily be leading this match, but will hope such profligacy doesn't come back to bite them.
