Dramatic late Marcus Rashford winner sends Manchester United into fourth with win over West Ham

Manchester United went fourth in the Premier League after a dramatic late winner from Marcus Rashford gave them a 1-0 victory over West Ham United at Old Trafford on Saturday. There was no suggestion of the drama that was to come, as it was a game of half-chances and only one save was forced of the two goalkeepers, with Alphonse Areola saving from Fred's left-footed drive on 49 minutes.

Tomas Soucek's glancing header was flicked just wide after a brilliant Bowen delivery with three minutes to go, but the Hammers could only watch it drop agonisingly wide.

And whilst the game looked as if it was going to fizzle out into a draw a ball across the box from Cavani found substitute Rashford who gleefully tapped into an empty net. TALKING POINT — SUPER SUBS DO THE TRICK AS RALF WRECKS HAMMERS Wow.
