Man United 2-1 WEST HAM – Saturday 27th September

Manchester United v West Ham United - Barclays Premier League

With Wayne Rooney scoring his 176th Premier League goal and Robin Van Persie putting the hosts 2-0 up after just 15 minutes, may Hammers fans thought that the floodgates were about to open.

However, this was far from the case, and with Diafra Sakho putting West Ham back in the game and Rooney seeing red, the onslaught began.

The second half saw the visitors dominate. Enner Valencia saw a shot go wide of the post, while substitute Kevin Nolan saw his tap in unfairly chalked off for offside.

The Upton Park side’s dominance deserved so much more, but the most impressive thing was it was against Manchester United on their own turf. Going to Old Trafford is daunting at the best of times, so for the Hammers to control the majority of the game, and attack the Red Devils make shift defence with no fear is something that is truly commendable.
