West Ham United find themselves level at half-time in tonight's Premier League clash with Southampton.

The opening opportunities fell to the home side in Thursday’s evening encounter, as Southampton looked to continue their recent good form. Nathan Redmond tested Lukas Fabianski from distance, while Danny Ings found the side netting. 

Grady Diangana saw a header flicked wide before Robert Snodgrass tested Alex McCarthy, sending in an awkward shot from around 25 yards. 

Lucas Perez had the best chance of the first half for the Irons. A superb counter saw Snodgrass find Felipe Anderson on the left. Aaron Cresswell overlapped, receiving the ball, and sent in an excellent cross. The ball was met by Lucas, but the striker could only turn his shot wide. 

Michail Antonio also tested McCarthy from distance, while Anderson drove a powerful strike just wide. Snodgrass also shot wide moments prior to the half-time whistle.
