West Ham United vs Burnley
Play still hasn't resumed as Westwood is still being treated on the pitch. He's going to have to be carried off on a stretcher. The Burnley man waved for attention as soon as he landed, so he must have known he'd been injured quite badly.

Looking at a replay of the incident, Westwood landed awkwardly as he went in for a loose ball and collided with Vlasic. It looks like he's fractured something of some sort. The Burnley players give Vlasic a sympathetic pat. The Croatian did nothing wrong at all.

Oof. Westwood needs some immediate medical attention after an accidental clash with Vlasic. Medics rush onto the pitch while Vlasic is consoled by his teammates. There's no way Westwood will be able to carry on. This looks very serious indeed.

Burnley have been second-best, but they're still threatening occasionally. Cornet centres the ball for the arriving Weghorst, but it's too close to Fabianski who smothers it first.

Cork hands West Ham another corner. Pope punches the delivery out to Bowen, who has another snap shot blocked from the edge of the box. This is good pressure by West Ham.

West Ham keep on coming. Tarkowski punts Johnson's hopeful delivery away from the box. The hosts look full of confidence at the moment, rightly so.

West Ham are getting close to an opening goal! Johnson hangs up a cross from the right that's met on the volley by Cresswell. It's heading for the far bottom corner but it's cleared off the line! West Ham get another corner. It ends in a Burnley free-kick as Pope's barged to the turf.

Burnley survive West Ham's latest corner. That was a fantastic save by Pope, by the way. The Burnley goalkeeper would have only seen Bowen's curling effort at the last minute with all the bodies right in front of him.

West Ham earn the game's first corner as Lowton nods a far-post cross out of play. From it, Bowen smashes two efforts at goal from the edge of the box. The first is blocked by Burnley's defenders, while the second is clawed away by Pope! It'll be another West Ham corner.
