Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford scored a last-second winner as they beat West Ham United 1-0 at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday to move up to fourth spot.
Substitute Rashford tapped in a low cross from Edinson Cavani deep into stoppage time after United had broken down the left flank with the final move of the match.
The win means United move above West Ham with 38 points from 22 matches while the Hammers are now fifth on 37 from 23.
Until Rashford’s goal finished off an attack started by Cristiano Ronaldo and also featuring Anthony Martial there had been few chances at either end in a disappointingly dull game.
Tomas Soucek had gone close to scoring for the Londoners near the end with a glancing header from a corner which flashed just wide of the far post.
A late goal from Jonjo Shelvey earned Newcastle United a 1-0 win at Leeds United, the second time Eddie Howe’s side have tasted victory in the League this season.
The hosts had the better of an entertaining first half, with speedy forward Dan James denied by an excellent save from Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka early on.
Leeds threw everything at Newcastle late on, but they still could not apply the finishing touch as Marcelo Bielsa’s side suffered their first defeat in three league games.
Everton’s first match of the post-Rafa Benitez era began with a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa amid a tense and feisty atmosphere at Goodison Park, where the visiting team was hit by missiles thrown from the crowd.
A lively first half ended with Emiliano Buendia scoring with a flicked header that arced over Jordan Pickford in goal, and the provocative celebrations led to a bottle being launched from the stands and hitting the Villa players.
Lucas Digne, who was booed by Everton fans on his first return to Goodison Park since last week’s transfer, provided the assist. He too was hit by an object. “Crazy... It hit me straight in the head. It’s not nice,” Villa’s Matty Cash, who went down after being hit by a bottle, said.
Everton later said they arrested the supporter who threw the bottle after security identified the culprit from CCTV footage.
