Paul Pogba moves United to fifth; Lucas Moura scores Hat-trick for Tottenham
![]() |
| Paul Pogba scored twice for Manchester United |
Paul Pogba's brace sent Manchester United to 5th in their 2-1 hard-fought victory over West Ham. Felipe Anderson's second half goal was not enough for the Hammers to take any point from the encounter as Pogba scored a penalty in either half to secure a win for the Red Devils and put them a point above 6th Arsenal. United now have 64 points, two points off 4th Chelsea who visit Liverpool today.
Only Liverpool and Arsenal with 37 and 16 respectively are on a longer Premier League home games unbeaten run than Manchester United who are yet to lose in their last 14 home games in the competition.
West Ham have lost their last four consecutive Premier League away games and are winless in the last eight.
Anderson is the first West Ham player to score both home and away in the same season against United since Jermain Defoe in 2001/02 campaign.
United have now won 12 penalties this season, their most in a single season in the competition.
Lucas Moura scored a hat-trick as Tottenham thrash relegated Huddersfield 4-0. Victor Wanyama scored first for the Spurs in the first half before Lucas Moura stole the show by scoring a hat-trick to take Tottenham to 67 points even in the absence of injured Harry Kane. All hopes are now on Moura to fill the void left by Kane until the end of the season.
Huddersfield have lost a total of 26 matches of their 34 games so far this season.
Tottenham have now won all their five Premier League matches without Harry Kane this season.
Fernando Llorente has now been involved in 12 goals in 853 minutes of matches in all competitions, the best minutes per goal involvement rate by any Tottenham star so far this season.
