West Ham 0 - 4 Man Utd

Injury-hit Manchester United ran riot in the second half to see off West Ham and keep the pressure on Chelsea. A sloppy Ryan Giggs backpass almost let in Jack Collison before Paul Scholes hammered in the first on half-time. Giggs set up Darron Gibson to smash home a thunderous second goal before Alessandro Diamanti went close. Wayne Rooney and Anderson linked up well for Antonio Valencia to score a third, and Valencia then crossed in for Rooney to add to the Hammers misery. Despite collecting three points Sir Alex Ferguson will be concerned with an injury list now totalling eight first-team defenders after Wes Brown and Gary Neville both picked up knocks.
