Manchester United travelled to West Ham United on Monday looking to make it six straight wins in the Premier League.
West Ham were controversially reduced to 10 men in the 15th minute when Sofiane Feghouli was sent from the field for a late challenge on Phil Jones, but the two teams ended the first period on level terms.
Juan Mata eventually sent Man United ahead just past the hour, however, before Zlatan Ibrahimovic added a second in the 78th minute as the Red Devils continued their brilliant run of form.
Read how it all unfolded in Sports Mole's minute-by-minute live commentary of the action below.

West Ham are down to 10 men, but there is nothing else to separate the teams at the break #WHUMUN pic.twitter.com/qFbR1LLa6C
