Simple physics question

Submerge an empty glass into a larger receptacle of water top-down so as to create an air bubble. Allow some of the air to escape, so that water will fill part of the glass. When pulling the glass out, before the rim emerges from underneath the water surface, water will be pulled up with the glass, so as not to create additional space for the air bubble. Which physical forces in action bring this about?
