West Ham 1-0 Manchester United
by Paul Donovan
at London Stadium

WEST HAM as good as secured their Premiership future, with this hard-fought win against Manchester United at the London Stadium.

The little Algerian struggled free, ending his run with a shot that David de Gea should have easily stopped. But the veteran keeper seemed to get his angles wrong, just helping the ball on into the net.
