manchester united 2 west ham 0

West Ham United succumbed to a fourth successive Premier League defeat at Old Trafford, going down 2-0 to reigning champions Manchester United.

Ronaldo gave the home side a 12th minute lead with a close range effort the Hammers were always up against it.

When a second was added on the stroke of the half hour mark - Ronaldo converting a Berbatov centre from close range - we looked as if we might collapse to a heavy defeat this wasnt helped by Valon Behrami, who was carried off in the final minute of the first half.

however united took there foot off the gas and the second was an fairly uneventful affair.Craig Bellamy's dipping free kick on the hour mark was as close as the Irons
came to getting back into the game and showed we missed the suspended Carlton Cole.

At the other end Rob Green continued his good form by making a couple of crucial saves stoping the score rising and maintaing some dignity for the players.
