Manchester United vs West Ham United

The final whistle goes - an easy win for United, who didn't even have to be at their best to beat demoralised West Ham 3-0

...it's a disappointing ball, and is cut out easily enough. Seconds remaining...

It's cleared, and Beckham tries a first-time pass towards van Nistelrooy...

The corner comes in... Dailly meets it, and his header deflects for another flag-kick

They win a corner from it, Carrick forcing Neville into a clearance

Barthez kicks long. West Ham clear and attempt to launch what may be their last attack of the match

Gary Breen is coming on for West Ham, with Scott Minto making way

The game's winding down to its inevitable conclusion - a United victory has been a certainty ever since that first-half spell of two goals in as many minutes

Cole crosses, and there's momentary confusion inside the United area before Barthez emerges with the ball

It's an uncharacteristically wild effort from the England skipper, landing somewhere in the middle of the Stretford End

Good play by Neville, who surges into the area from the right and cuts the ball back to Beckham, 18 yards out...

Steve Lomas comes off and John Moncur goes on as West Ham make a switch. Not that that will make any difference to what has really been a bit of a procession this afternoon

A rebound inside the United area - Defoe looks to latch onto it but, not for the first time, he's caught offside

Lomas is there to clear for West Ham, but again they can't keep the ball even when they win it

Beckham on the right... Brown found him, Minto fouled him. Free-kick to United, which Beckham will mastermind

Another ball forward by the Hammers - it's aimless, and Barthez plucks it out of the air with studied nonchalance

It's a good stop by James, and the home side have the ball again with Beckham

Forward come United, and Forlan has a shooting chance here...

He wins a corner, which is swung in and cleared despite some hesitation from Barthez

Nearly a consolation - and here come West Ham again with Carrick on the left...

Good Hammers move - there's a low cross from the left which comes off Brown and forces a good save from Barthez

Repka gets to a cross ahead of van Nistelrooy, and James has to stretch to avoid that being another own goal. At the other end, Defoe hits an effort wide after making space for himself

Defoe attempts to cut the ball back for West Ham - Phil Neville is there to tidy up inside the penalty area

Forlan, with a clever turn and chance, makes a chance for van Nistelrooy... he hits it from 16 yards but drags it wide. Maybe it's not to be his day today

At the other end, Lomas crosses and Wes Brown is there with an excellent interception. Changes - Scholes and O'Shea off, Forlan and Blanc on
