RAMSEY WAS FREE! Digne plays a lovely ball to see Duran in behind the West Ham defence on the left. He follows the ball into the box where Ramsey is also making a run on the right but opts to shoot himself and fires straight into the side-netting. Could that have been the chance for Villa?

Chance for Antonio! Bowen floats in a looping cross off the right side of the pitch aiming for Antonio at the far post. The striker tries to get under it but only manages to direct his header over the ball.
