West Ham 1-3 Manchester United match report & highlights: Paul Pogba turns match for United


Paul Pogba sparked a second-half fightback which saw Manchester United beat West Ham 3-1 in front of 2,000 fans at the London Stadium.

The Frenchman had been one of several who laboured through the first hour, during which Tomas Soucek put the Hammers ahead, but his precise and curling strike midway through the second-half changed the course of the match.

Minutes later, Mason Greenwood flicked and fired his side into the lead before a more delicate effort from Marcus Rashford put the game beyond doubt, less than a quarter of an hour after West Ham had seemed on course for victory.

The result means United leapfrog West Ham as they move back ahead of rivals Manchester City and up to fourth in the table.

It will have pleased Sporting Life followers too, after Tom Cardnuff's advice to strongly back 2.5 goals at 5/6.
