Premier League football news from the Barclays Premier League | West Ham United 0-1 Manchester United


West Ham United 0-1 Manchester United

A second-half winner from Ryan Giggs sent Manchester United back to the top of the Barclays Premier League.

 

The 35-year-old captain struck the decisive blow in the 61st minute to put United two points clear of Liverpool at the summit with a match in hand on their rivals.

It was West Ham United's first league defeat in seven matches but they did little to trouble Edwin Van der Sar, who set two more goalkeeping records. The United goalkeeper has now gone 1,312 minutes since he was last beaten in the top flight with United keeping 13 successive clean sheets.
