West Ham too strong for Man Utd
Andriy Yarmolenko and Aaron Cresswell scored to help West Ham defeat Manchester United 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.
Yarmolenko opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, sending a low finish past David de Gea following patient build-up play involving Mark Noble and Felipe Anderson.
Cresswell sealed all three points for the Hammers in the second half with a superb free-kick into the top right-hand corner.

In another Premier League encounter played concurrently, Crystal Palace played a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Diogo Jota’s stoppage-time goal rescued a point for Wolves after Leander Dendoncker’s own goal had put Palace in front.
Despite the draw, Wolves remain 19th and remain winless after six top-flight matches.
