West Ham v Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Bowen and Kudus strike

Player ratings from the London Stadium

Not a great day - again - for the Manchester United attack, but Kurt Zouma and Lucas Paqueta were excellent for the Hammers.

West Ham leapfrog Manchester United to sixth place in the Premier League table following a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium. Two goals in the space of seven minutes sealed the points for the Hammers, as Jarrod Bowen broke the deadlock before Mohammed Kudus pounced on Kobbie Mainoo's error to put the contest to bed. That was a fourth defeat in five games for Erik ten Heg's side, who will look to respond when they host Aston Villa on Boxing Day. As for David Moyes' men, who have now collected 16 points from 21 available, they travel to Arsenal two days later. Thank you for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!

FULL-TIME: WEST HAM 2-0 MANCHESTER UNITED

Yellow Card Luke Paul Hoare Shaw

The scorer of the second goal, Kudus is also given a brilliant ovation as he makes way for the Hammers. Johnson comes on for the dying moments.

The visitors launch a late rally in search of a consolation and Rashford is found in the box. He looks to lay the ball off for Pellestri, but West Ham have plenty of numbers back to prevent a clear sight on goal.

Some United fans have seen enough as they head for the exits. This will be their fourth defeat in six games across all competitions.

Substitution Jarrod Bowen Pablo Fornals Malla

Unless they can mount a late fightback, this will be United's 20th loss of 2023 across all competitions. It would be their highest tally in a calendar year since also suffering 20 defeats in 1989.

Substitution Alejandro Garnacho Ferreyra Christian Dannemann Eriksen
