Review of the match West Ham - Southampton:
West Ham United hosted Southampton at the London Stadium in a thrilling Premier League match. The first half started with promising tension as both teams were level. However, it was West Ham who took the lead in the 25th minute when N. Agerd landed a clinical shot after a great run by his team. Southampton tried to bounce back but their efforts were stopped by a yellow card handed to D. Caleta-Kar in the 43rd minute. The first half ended 1-0 in favor of West Ham.
The second half started with great pace and energy as Southampton made two early substitutions, replacing C. Suleman and C.J. Alcaras in place of M. Elyounoussi and S. Mar respectively. However, their impact was not enough to break West Ham's tenacious defence. West Ham also made two substitutions, with D. Ings replacing M. Antonio in the 65th minute and T. Soucek replacing F. Downes in the 68th minute. In the 72nd minute, Southampton made two more substitutions: S. Armstrong replaced A. Maitland-Niles, and T. Walcott replaced P. Onuacha.

The match ended 1-0 to West Ham with all three points. The hosts were impressive defensively and their confident finish ensured them victory. On the other hand, Southampton have looked menacing at times, but their failure to convert their chances has cost them dearly. All in all, it was an exciting football match for both groups of fans. West Ham will be happy with their win and Southampton will try to recover in the next match.
