That Alfie Lloyd goal was his third for the club but his first in front of a home crowd.

A superb way to thank his supporters. Sailed all the way across the net and through the keeper to rustle the corner.

Really fast and physical stuff this, as Pablo is penalised for roughhousing under a high ball allowing George Wickens to lump another deep free-kick into the Hammers box.

Callum Elder then wins a corner which is half-cleared before Conor McGrandles' thunderous volley from outside the box is blocked.

I think Finn Azaz is playing level with Dobbin up top. I know we're playing a 4-2-3-1 but it looks more like a 4-4-2.

We don't seem to be establishing ourselves in the final third.

United's Hamza Choudhury is the first player in the book for a foul on Sydie Peck in midfield.

Meanwhile Madiodio Dia's fine pass to Abu Kamara has seen the wide man's cross deflected behind for a corner, which comes to nought.

Zach Abbott sees yellow for a foul on Oscar Schwartau.

The Saints man will need to be careful. Schwartau already got the better of him early in the match and Abbott will need to toe the line to ensure he's not giving the winger too much room.

Glimpse of goal for the visitors as Pablo is found on the right of the area, takes the ball down on his chest but tries something truly ambitious and spectacular, only to lash his attempted first-time volley well wide of the near post.

A cross might have been a better idea.

Morata has since gone down after a very heavy tackle from Dan Oyegoke. Not a comfortable night for the visitors so far.

Flynn Downes can't continue for Southampton.

Caspar Jander, not long back off an injury himself, comes on in his stead.

Paul Smyth is proving himself a menace for the visitors at the moment.

Now he draws a foul from David Ozoh and the midfielder gets cautioned as a result.

Rams just need to calm themselves. It's all unravelling and it's not reached half an hour yet.

The Hammers deal with a Lincoln corner from the right, but will have to face another long throw from the left.

Callum Elder has taken over as missile launcher with Tom Hamer in the dressing room already but the Irons are able to clear their lines again.

Big chance for the visitors as Sydie Peck's cross into the Pompey box towards the unmarked Patrick Bamford who can only turn his effort past Nico Schmid's upright with the goal at his mercy.

Lincoln concede possession cheaply and allow the Irons to break but Jarrod Bowen is crowded out on the right of the box before Mohamadou Kante is muscled off a scuffed clearance on the edge of the box,

This is a bad few minutes for Derby.

Ryan Hedges has brought down Paul Smyth in the penalty area and now the hosts have the chance to double their lead just two minutes after earning it.

Well, the atmosphere was sucked right out of Sincil Bank when referee Andrew Kitchen took out his red card and gave Tom Hamer his marching orders.

What was always going to be a difficult night for the Imps has just got a whole lot tougher.

I'm sorry but I think it's a red card as soon as he committed to it.

It's high, it's reckless and the referee had no hesitation.

Veltman is lucky he's only got away from that with a mark on his shin.

You can't tackle like that anymore. Tom [Hamer] should have understood he wasn't going to make that and not gone to ground.

It just makes life very difficult for Lincoln now.

Less than three minutes on the clock.

Wow.

Lincoln are certainly pumped up for this but Tom Hamer has a rush of blood to the head, racing towards Joel Veltman out wide and flying into a very ugly tackle, two footed, a touch high and after the ball had gone.

Veltman is up and okay, but Lincoln's already daunting task has just become a lot harder.

He might have slipped just a touch but Hamer can have no complaints.

Ryan Manning is the first name in the bad books for a challenge on Norwich's summer purchase Andre Brooks.

Just 60 seconds on the clock when West Ham's defence get their first test of the night from one of the monstrous long throws from the recalled Tom Hamer.

The Hammers have struggled with them so far this season but Mads Hermansen does well to come through a crowd to clutch the ball.
