CHANCE! Richarlison once again gets in behind Fredericks as the right-back misses his clearance and it sends the Everton man through on goal. Richarlison then tries to chip the ball over Fabianski and into the top right corner of the net, but it flies inches over the crossbar. Not too far away!

Free-kick to West Ham in a very dangerous position, after Bowen is fouled by Holgate and it hands the hosts a good shooting area. Cresswell and Benrahma stand over it.
