Marko Arnautovic came back from injury to inspire West Ham United to a comfortable 3-1 win over Manchester United at the Olympic stadium.
Arnautovic missed the Hammers’ goalless affair with Chelsea last weekend but returned to play a decisive role in their hammering of José Mourinho’s United for their first win at home this season in the PL.
Goals from Felipe Anderson, Victor Lindelof, who scored and own goal, and Arnautovic’s fourth goal of the season were all Manuel Pellegrini side needed for register their second win of the season.
Marcus Rashford came off the bench to grab a late consolation for the Red Devils, who have now lost for the third time in seven PL games.
“We worked all week on how we are going to play,” West Ham captain, Mark Noble said after the game. “We didn’t come here to stand our ground, we came to win [and] you could see that from the first minute.”
The result means United drop to tenth on the league table with 10points, while West Ham move up to 13th on seven points.
Next up for Mourinho and his side is a home game against Spanish side, Valencia in the Champions League before the host Newcastle United at Old Trafford while West Ham welcome Tottenham.
