West Ham drop into the bottom three on goal difference, but their survival hopes do not rest on this game - they have home games against Villa, Blackburn and Sunderland to decide their fate.
- 90'
It was a superb comeback as Man United hit four goals in 19 minutes to leave the Hammers with no answer.
- 90'
There's no doubt that Man United were the better side here in what could be a watershed game at the top of the Premier League table.

FULL-TIME

Into the last minute.

Rio Ferdinand on Twitter: "Rooney, Valencia, Giggs, Fabio + carrick have been our stand out players today. Great 2nd half for us."
- 90'
Corner to United. Valencia to take from the right - and he plays it all the way back to Fabio at right-back
- 90'
United fans in fine voice. @tomadamsESPN in the Soccernet office is crestfallen after seeing the chance for Arsenal to make up ground snatched away. He's not spoken since Rooney's penalty.
- 90'
<i>Opta Stats: </i>Javier Hernandez has scored 11 goals from just 15 shots on target in the Premier League this season.
- 90'
Just four more minutes of misery for the home fans.

- 88'
West Ham fans are streaming out, and who can blame them? The fact remains that West Ham have been outclassed despite being two in front.

<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Hat-trick hero Wayne Rooney is replaced by Nani. Oh, the luxury.
- 86'
They only thing that is going to happen here now is a fifth Man United goal. If they can be bothered.
- 85'
And that, you have to say, is that. Giggs was given too much space on the left, his shot across goal was going wide but no West Ham defender could cut it out, and there was Hernandez to slide home.
- 84'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Javier Hernandez taps home from four yards out.
- 84'
Now West Ham want handball against Smalling into the box. There won't be a fourth penalty for that.
- 83'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Double change for West Ham. Victor Obinna and Robbie Keane come on for Mark Noble and Gary O'Neil.
- 83'
Those of you following me on Twitter will note I suggested a bet of West Ham to be winning at half-time and Man United at full-time.
- 82'
But Berbatov is allowed time to run the ball back into the box and cuts it back for the completely unmarked Gibson running into the area - but he blazes over.
- 81'
West Ham are all over the place now. Berbatov is put through from an Upson mistake, he doesn't have the pace to out-strip the England defender who gets back and forces Berbatov wide.
- 80'
On the penalty decision, Upson did not move his arm from down by his side. Nine times out of ten that would not have been given.
- 80'
Rob Green went the wrong wall, and Rooney rolled the ball into the right-hand corner. Cool as you like.
- 79'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Rooney completes a hat-trick and the turnaround.
