Premier League: Paul Pogba Scores A Brace To Lift Manchester United Over West Ham

Manchester United nearly shared the points with West Ham until late into the game when Paul Pogba converted a spot-kick to give Red Devils the much-deserved home victory by 2-1.
Despite the game victory. Hammers were the better side and fairly controlled the game over Solksjaer's men but self-destruct for having to concede two penalties in a single game.
After Felipe Anderson's volley from inside was ruled out for being offside, Pogba converted a penalty conceded by Robert Snodgrass on Juan Mata to give United the lead in 19th minutes.
Soon after the break, Felipe slid to a cross from Manuel Lanzini and side-footed the ball into the goal for an equalizer. Unfortunately for the visitors, Ryan Federick fouled on Anthony Martial and Pogba again did the needful by converting the penalty awarded for the winning goal.
"They played better than us, it is fair to say," Solksjaer admitted "Playing on Wednesday, and today and again on Tuesday played a major factor. It's a juggling act and we got away with it today."
The game ended as United's 14th consecutive home victory under Solksjaer and overtook Arsenal to move up to fifth place in the table.
