    Marko Arnautovic

    Oh. Maybe the comeback isn't on.

    Mark Noble plays a sublime ball through the middle, picking out Marko Arnautovic's run in between the two centre-backs.

    He's clear in the box, one-on-one with David de Gea and slips it coolly to his left-hand side.

    Arnautovic celebrates by holding up the shirt of Carlos Sanchez, following his injury earlier this week. Lovely gesture!

    PJ: Lovely goal by Rashford! He's been very lively since coming on. Back in it now...c'mon lads!!

    James: Rashford. Proving that a young player gets the United way. Barely anyone else including Mourinho gets it.

    Fabianski should be disappointed. You shouldn't be beat at your near post like that but it's a lovely touch from Rashford. Game on!

    Marcus Rashford

    Wow!

    What a finish this is! Marcus Rashford sneaks to the front post on the corner delivery and leaps into the air and flicks the ball in between his legs. It flies past Lukasz Fabianski.

    Is the comeback on?!

    West Ham 2-0 Man Utd

    Anthony Martial wins a corner after another great run down the left...

    And Jose Mourinho decides to make a substitution.

    It's Paul Pogba who is going off! He's replaced by Juan Mata. Fred also comes on for Martial.

  6. Man Utd cannot find enough telling balls into the boxpublished at 13:55 British Summer Time 29 September 2018

    Marouane Fellaini's header forced that great save from Lukasz Fabianski just now but not enough of Manchester United's many deliveries into the box have resulted in an effort on goal.

    From 21 crosses from open play and set-pieces today, only three have found a United man in the area - the red arrows in the graphic above show how many times they have been unsuccessful.

    Felipe Anderson marches down the left wing. He cuts inside and slips it into the box for Marko Arnautovic.

    There's just too much pace on the pass and it skips away inches in front of Arnautovic.

    What a save! Banks v Pele...although I think Fabianski might be closer to Banks than Fellaini is to Pele!!

    West Ham can counter now. They bring it through midfield with Mark Noble but when the ball comes to Marko Arnautovic, his touch is too heavy and Chris Smalling blocks his path.

    Felipe Anderson can't pick up the rebound and United win the ball back.

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 65 mins

    West Ham 2-0 Man Utd

    Oh what a save that is! Unbelievable!

    Marouane Fellaini powerfully nods the ball towards the inside of the post.

    Lukasz Fabianski reacts instantly and dives down to his right to claw the ball off the line.

    He's back on his feet and is good to go.

    Marko Arnautovic is down in some pain following a good challenge from Chris Smalling. West Ham's players are urging the visitors to put the ball out of play but they want to keep attacking.

    Eventually Mark Noble intercepts and smashes the ball out for a throw-in so Arnautovic can get some treatment.

    Arthur Masuaku's defensive header is a bit risky and Felipe Anderson needs to win the ball ahead of Ashley Young.

    The Man United player beats him to it but by using his hand and it's a free-kick to West Ham. The hosts could do with a spell of possession here.

    Romelu Lukaku does well to leap onto an inswinging cross. But he can't direct the header and it bounces off the top of a West Ham defender and loops into the hands of Lukasz Fabianski.

    A few half chances are starting to come Manchester United's way now though...

  15. CLOSE!published at 58 mins

    West Ham 2-0 Man Utd

    Anthony Martial does brilliantly on the left. He manages to wriggle his way into the box but Pedro Obiang hooks the ball away on the line. There was no Manchester United player there to put pressure on him anyway.

    Victor Lindelof is off.

    Marko Arnautovic does well to hold the ball up on the right. West Ham then recycle it around the back and it's slipped through to Arnautovic.

    It's cleared but the forward then wins the ball back on the sidelines.

    West Ham have played really well today, lets not forget that! They are just working harder than their opponents.

    You want to see United play more free-flowing football. A lot of fans say it's the manager's fault why they are not allowed to do that and they say he's behind in an evolving game. You want to see United let off their leash but they look very robotic.

    Amrul Choudhury: How many Man Utd players will get into this West Ham side? Not many on this performance.

    Dan: To everyone crying about anybody daring to criticise Pogba. Just keep watching this game

    Jamie: Kick every player out except De Gea, keep mourinho. The players are an absolute disgrace.

    Marouane Fellaini is allowed to turn as Declan Rice gives him an inch of space in the box. The Belgian fires the ball across goal but there's nobody to get on the end of it.

    Marcus Rashford is instructed to get stripped...
