Premier League Weekend Round-Up So Far: Manchester United Fortunate To Stay On Track As Bournemouth Enjoy An Away Day Brighton Special. Moura Shines For Tottenham.
By: Marc Gingell
Pogba 2 Anderson 2
In our highlight show (click on this link) we alluded to Paul Pogba and Felipe Andersson as two players, slightly out of touch, that could have an impact on this game and they both scored twice. Unfortunately for West Ham only one of Anderson’s counted as his opening goal of the game, after ten minutes, the officials incorrectly ruled out for offside.
Both Pogba goals were penalties and the second one from the same spot as he missed against Southampton and in the same phase of the game. Pogba buried it in the corner, without his stuttering run, to get Manchester United over the line in a game that West Ham could well have won.
