Manchester United triumph over West Ham in a tense Premier League match at Old Trafford with Wayne Rooney opening the scoreline and Robin Van Persie doubling the lead in the first-half.

Louis Van Gaal boast of another Premier League win by fighting hard against a die-hard Sam Allardyce led side almost forced a score draw with Sakho’s goal, a disallowed Kevin Nolan’s goal made the final score 2-1.

Rooney prompted plenty of nerves around Old Trafford when he senselessly hacked at Stewart Downing, the winger leaving him behind on a counter-attack.
