Wayne Rooney scored his first goal since March as Manchester United cruised to victory to remain two points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea. Rooney converted a 33rd-minute penalty to end a 13-game drought after Jonathan Spector fouled Ryan Giggs. Nani's cool finish from Rooney's neat pass made it 2-0 while Kieron Dyer hit the post for winless West Ham. Dimitar Berbatov capped a fine performance by volleying past Robert Green from Nani's chipped cross. West Ham's defeat left them rooted to the foot of the table and without a point while Manchester United remain third, level with Arsenal. The Hammers' task was always going to be difficult, with Avram Grant's side without an away win in the league since the first game of last season. (BBC Sport)Monday 30 August 2010
