The full time whistle is blown. Fulham win this entertaining game 3-1. Thanks for joining us.
90+4'
Riise is fortunate not to be penalised for a handball in his penalty area. He misjudges the flight of the ball and misses his header, with the ball striking his arm. Carroll pleads for a penalty but nothing is given.
90+3'
Martin Jol will be a mightily relieved man. Before tonight, his side had just notched two wins in their last 15 outings.

GOAL!! Fulham have surely won it now. It’s an own goal as Joey O’Brien puts it into the back of the net in unfortunate circumstances. Rodallega’s initial shot is saved by Jaaskelainen but is only parried into the path of Petric. The substitute attempts to dink the ball over the outstretched keeper, sending the ball onto the post and into O’Brien’s arm before dropping over the line.
90'
We'll have four minutes of added time.
89'
There are appeals for a handball against Senderos but the referee waves play on. It would have been very harsh as the ball cannoned off the backside of C.Cole before catching the Swiss defender’s hand which was by his side.
88'
West Ham look to be building up a decent bit of pressure. Nolan and Diame link up down the right. The former goes for the one-two but Diame’s return pass is overhit and rolls out for a throw-in.
87'
Awful, awful effort from Tomkins. Carroll wins his header from Reid’s long ball and finds Tomkins who is unmarked, eight yards from goal. The defender looks caught in two minds – not sure whether to help it on or goal for goal – and does neither.
86'
Both sides are still going for it here. Fulham don’t seem content to just sit back and hold out for the victory but they could be caught on the break should they send too many men forward.
85'
Great effort from Rodallega. Winston Reid is caught napping at the back as he lets the ball bounce and misjudges it completely. Rodallega slips in behind the defender and thumps a volley at goal. It’s hit with real venom but fizzes wide.
83'
Sidwell slips on the edge of his own area and sees Nolan nick the ball off him. Carroll is unmarked 20 yards from goal and receives the ball before attempting to find the top corner with a curling effort. The striker catches it all wrong and sends it high and wide.
82'
Fulham win just their second corner of the night but it’s wasted as Duff fails to beat the first defender.
81'
Baird is down on the floor and is getting treatment. The West Ham fans are voicing their discontent at Senderos’ attempt to waste time. Referee Chris Foy insists that the defender leave the field to receive his treatment.

Selfish. Rodallega bursts down the middle after Sidwell had dispossessed Diame. Rodallega feeds Petric down the right who opts to shoot instead of squaring the ball to Duff who was in a much better position.
79'
It’s very stretched, now. West Ham are caught short at the back. Petric feeds Riise on the left. The Norwegian cuts inside and is allowed to advance thanks to the run of Duff out wide. The former Liverpool defender is allowed to thump an effort on goal but it flies way over the bar.

Instantly, Carroll is in the thick of the action. The ball is pumped long and is met by the head of C.Cole who nods it into the path of the on-loan striker. Carroll, who has had his ponytail chopped off, smacks a volley at goal but it is straight into the grateful arms of Schwarzer.

Here’s a sight that the West Ham fans have waited to see for a while; Andy Carroll is introduced as Joe Cole is the man to go off.

He is indeed replaced. The striker will not want to tear his hamstring so is replaced my Mladen Petric.
75'
Berbatov looks to have tweaked his hamstring. He’s really struggling and is signalling to the bench that he wants to come off.
73'
The Cottagers do manage to get out of their half and nearly go further in front courtesy of a little bit of Dimitar Berbatov magic. He trades a one-two with Dejagah as the Bulgarian gets to the edge of the 18 yard box. Opening his body, he lashes an effort on goal from the right side of the penalty area with the outside of his foot which has Jaaskelainen beaten. Fortunately for the Hammers, it beats the post, too.
