90'+5'

That's all from us today folks, we hope you enjoyed the game!

90'+5'

This win moves Manchester United up to fourth in the table and it’s the Manchester derby up next in the league. However, before then they travel to Germany to face RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Meanwhile West Ham drop to seventh and they face Leeds United next time out.

90'+5'

Manchester United clinch all three points, with a 3-1 victory after a second half comeback against West Ham, with goals from Pogba, Greenwood and Rashford. The Hammers led 1-0 at the break through Soucek and were the better team for much of the game, but they were undone at the back midway through the second period and conceded two in three minutes, before Rashford wrapped up the win.

90'+5'

FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 1-3 MANCHESTER UNITED

90'+4'

Poor effort! Greenwood finds space in-behind and should be testing Fabianski, but he gets his shot all wrong and fires the ball well wide of the goal.

90'+2'

The visitors are keeping the ball well now, just slowing the pace down and they look comfortable, with West Ham chasing the game.

90'

There will be a minimum of five minutes added time played at the end of the second half.

88'

There's not long left on the clock now, can West Ham find a late goal to make it a nervous few minutes for the visitors?

87'

Good strike! Rice with a long range effort, which has a lot of power behind it, but it is too close to Henderson, who makes a comfortable save.

85'

Third and final West Ham substitution now, with Coufal the man coming off and he has been replaced by Johnson.

84'

SAVE! Excellent opportunity for West Ham with a free-kick from around 35 yards out and Cresswell steps up to take it. The Hammers defender gets it around the wall and it seems to be flying into the back of the net. However, Henderson gets across brilliantly and tips it around the post.

82'

Manchester United have won more points from losing positions than any other Premier League side this season (12), coming from behind to win all four of their away games so far in 2020-21.

80'

CLOSE! Benrahma just manages to work space for the shot inside the Man United box and he tries to curl it into the top right-hand corner. However, he just gets slightly too much on it and it flies over the crossbar.

78'

Fernandes layed the ball off to Mata around the halfway line and he then lofted a lovely pass over the top of the West Ham defence, for Rashford to run onto.

78'

GOOOAAALLL! Rashford makes it 3-1! The striker is played through on goal by Mata and he races clear of the West Ham defenders, before chipping the ball over the top of Fabianski and into the back of the net.

76'

The other Hammers change sees Bowen replaced by Lanzini.

75'

West Ham make a double substitution now, with Fornals the first man coming off and he has been replaced by Benrahma.

75'

Brilliant challenge by Rice to stop Rashford in his tracks, however, as Rashford goes down he falls into the legs of Ogbonna and gets a blow to the head. The referee pulls up play so the striker can receive some treatment.

74'

The hosts haven't done much since going behind, they need to gather themselves and push forward again, because they had been causing Man United a lot of problems.

70'

West Ham have been excellent today, but two lapses in concentration have allowed the visitors in and they now find themselves behind.

68'

Telles gets deep into the West Ham half, before finding Greenwood in the penalty area, who does the rest with a brilliant finish.

68'

GOOOAAALLL! Manchester United lead as Greenwood fires them 2-1 ahead! Telles delivers a low cross into the box, the striker takes a touch, turns and then drills the ball into the far right-hand corner of the net. Another superb finish and the visitors have turned the game around in the space of three minutes!

67'

The goal stands! VAR can't prove that the ball did go out of play and the Man United equaliser stands, it is 1-1!

65'

Fernandes dribbled inside, looked like he was about to fire a shot at goal himself, but instead layed it off to Pogba, who produced a brilliant finish.

65'

GOOOAAALLL! Pogba levels the score, it is 1-1! A superb strike by the midfielder. It starts from Henderson, with a lovely long ball over the top to Fernandes down the right wing, he cuts inside and lays it off to Pogba, who then curls the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net. Fabianski had no chance.

64'

Fernandes has scored in each of his last five Premier League away games – the last player to score in six consecutive away league appearances for the Red Devils was Denis Law in March 1964.

62'

Here is the enforced Man United substitution, with Martial having to come off and he has been replaced by Mata.

60'

Into the side netting! Rashford once again gets forward, dribbles past Coufal and then smashes a shot towards goal, but it flies into the side netting, after a slight deflection.

59'

It looks like Martial may have a problem for Man United at the moment, he is limping and may have to come off as he doesn't look very comfortable.

57'

The visitors still look quite flat in the final third, with West Ham defending well in numbers at the back and soaking up all of the pressure.

55'

CHANCE! Rashford finds some space down the left wing, he dribbles past a couple of West Ham defenders, before slipping the ball through to McTominay, who fires a strike towards the bottom right-hand corner of the net. However, it flies into the side netting. That's the best chance for the visitors so far.

53'

Good strike! Maguire picks up the ball midway in the West Ham half and nobody comes close to him, so he opts to shoot at goal himself and forces Fabianski into making a good save down to his left.

52'

CLOSE! Bowen should make it 2-0! The winger starts the move on the left wing, he plays it inside to Haller, who passes to Coufal just inside the box. The right-back then drills a low strike towards the far corner of the net, which Bowen meets, but he fires it into the side netting.

50'

West Ham have only won one of their last seven Premier League games when leading at half time (D2 L4), winning their last such game against Sheffield United (1-0).

45'+2'

The visitors have enjoyed more possession, but they haven't done enough to test Fabianski, with only Martial testing the keeper and Solskjaer won't be happy with his sides performance so far.

48'

The visitors have started the second half with the ball, showing a little bit more intent than the first period so far, with Rashford injecting some pace up top in a central role.

45'+2'

West Ham lead 1-0 at the break, but they could have scored more as they have had far more chances in front of goal. Bowen and Fornals have both gone close, along with Haller racing through on goal, but he couldn't finish. Man United have looked very open at the back, with the hosts getting in-behind a few times. The hosts lead thanks to Soucek's close range goal, following a flick on by Rice from a corner.

45'+2'

HALF-TIME: WEST HAM 1-0 MANCHESTER UNITED

46'

The visitors have made a double substitution ahead of the second half, with Rashford replacing Cavani.

46'

The second half is under way!

46'

The other Man United change sees Fernandes come onto the pitch and he has replaced Van de Beek.

45'

There will be a minimum of one minute added time played at the end of the first half.

45'

ALMOST! Bowen now races through on goal after Fornals plays him through, but he doesn't quite have the pace to beat Wan-Bissaka, who recovers brilliantly to make the tackle.

44'

SAVE! Fabianski is forced into making an excellent save to deny Martial after a lovely exchange between him and Telles down the left. The striker tries to find the top left-hand corner, but the West Ham keeper pushes it around the post.

42'

There's not long left to play before the end of the first half now, can West Ham extend their lead before the half-time whistle?

40'

CHANCE! How did Haller not score? The striker races through on goal as the Man United defence are caught off guard and Haller only has Henderson to beat, he goes round the keeper and then takes a couple of touches, trying to set it up on his right foot. However, just as he goes to strike, he slips and it allows Henderson time to get back and gather.

38'

Rice gets ahead of his marker and does brilliantly to glance the ball on, rather than go for goal himself and he sets Soucek up perfectly.

38'

GOOOAAALLL! West Ham take the lead, it's 1-0! Rice with a superb glancing header at the front post as a corner is whipped into the box. Soucek then races in at the back post, completely unmarked and he taps it into the back of the net from close range.

37'

Blocked! Bowen appears on the left wing this time, after a deep cross into the box, he takes a touch and then fires an effort at goal, but Wan-Bissaka gets across and makes a good block.

36'

Decent effort! Pogba goes for goal from the edge of the penalty area and it's a good strike, but too close to Fabianski, who makes a strong save.

34'

Greenwood with his first real piece of action in the final third, as he skips past his marker down the right wing and then delivers a decent cross into the box, but Cavani doesn't make the run and West Ham clear the danger.

32'

CHANCE! Fornals almost fires West Ham ahead! Bowen skips past McTominay and Telles brilliantly, sprinting down the right wing and he then delivers a superb ball into the box, which is met by the head of Fornals at the back post. However, he can only power his header into the side netting and out of play. So close.

31'

We're past the half an hour mark at the London Stadium and it remains goalless between West Ham and Manchester United.

29'

When West Ham do get on the ball and they are looking to break quickly on the counter, with Fornals and Bowen sprinting forward in search of a ball over the top.

27'

The game is quite scrappy at the moment, with neither team really doing much attacking and Man United are controlling possession, but they aren't moving it quickly enough and it's easy for West Ham to defend.

25'

Manchester United have won each of their last eight Premier League away games, their longest winning away run in their league history. The Red Devils are looking to win their first five games on the road in a single league campaign for the first time since 1985-86.

23'

Telles whips a lovely ball into the penalty area from the left wing and Cavani makes a darting run across Ogbonna, trying to get on the end of it at the near post. However, the West Ham defender does well and clears the danger.

21'

Almost! Bowen makes a terrific run in-behind the Man United defence and Fornals tries to find him, but Maguire steps up and blocks it brilliantly, as Bowen was going to be through on goal if he could get on the end of that ball.

20'

Fabianski is still yet to have a save to make in the West Ham goal and Henderson has only been called into action once and that was very early on to deny Fornals.

18'

Blocked! The first real attack from Man United and the ball falls to Martial just outside the penalty area and he fires a low shot towards goal, but it takes a big deflection and goes out of play for a corner.

17'

Poor challenge by Soucek on McTominay, the midfielder catches him late and takes the legs of the Man United man. He's lucky to get away with just a free-kick there and no booking.

15'

The front three of Cavani, Greenwood and Martial have hardly touched the ball so far for the visitors, with West Ham dropping into a back five when they are defending, to limit the time and space their opponents have to play into.

13'

It's West Ham who have looked more dangerous in front of goal so far, despite Man United seeing more of the ball, but much of it is in midfield and the hosts defence are yet to be tested.

11'

West Ham have won their last two Premier League home games against Manchester United – they’ve not won three in a row at home against the Red Devils in the top-flight since a run of four between January 1974-December 1977

9'

GOAL RULED OUT! Bowen races through on goal, sneaking in-behind the Man United defence and he only has Henderson to beat and fires the ball into the bottom left-hand corner of the net. However, the winger made his run slightly too early and he is flagged offside. The correct decision.

7'

Really good pressure by Fornals and Haller, they corner Wan-Bissaka deep in the United half and win a throw-in, after the Man United defender fails to clear the ball.

6'

The visitors are keeping the ball nicely at the moment, however, West Ham are pressing them high up the pitch and Man United are yet to get into the final third.

4'

Maguire chips a long ball over the top of the West Ham defence and Cavani tries to get onto the end of it, but he is put under pressure by Balbuena and he goes down very easily, appealing for a free-kick. However, nothing is given.

2'

SAVE! Good start here by West Ham. First Bowen cuts inside from the right wing, shifts the ball onto his left foot and fires a shot towards goal. However, it is blocked and falls to Fornals right in front of Henderson, who makes himself big and makes an excellent stop at his near post.
