Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic secured Manchester United a sixth league win in a row, winning 2-0 against 10-man West Ham United.
Sofiane Feghouli was sent off for a foul on Phil Jones after 15 minutes, the earliest red card of the season.
Manchester United almost led when Antonio Valencia shot at Darren Randolph before Jesse Lingard’s follow-up hit a post.
After the break Michail Antonio spurned two chances for West Ham, the second one when through one-on-one.
Two minutes later, two United substitutes combined as Marcus Rashford cut the ball back for Mata to finish.
