West Ham United marked their departure from Upton Park after 112 years with a thrilling victory that may have ended Manchester United's chances of Champions League qualification.

West Ham are still in the hunt for a fifth-place finish. They are one point behind Manchester United and travel to Stoke on Sunday. Manchester United, meanwhile, host Bournemouth and must win to have a chance of finishing in the top four.

Louis van Gaal's side knew victory here and at home to Bournemouth this weekend would secure a top-four place - but this loss means Manchester City are two points clear of them going into their final game at Swansea City.

  • West Ham have scored in each of their past 12 Premier League games, their longest scoring run in the competition.
  • The Red Devils managed just one shot in total in the first half - only against Manchester City on 25 October did they produce fewer this season in the Premier League.
  • Anthony Martial now has 17 goals in all competitions for Manchester United this season, three more than any other player (Rooney 14).
  • The Red Devils scored with their first two shots on target of the game.
  • Since making his Premier League debut in August 2011, Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has provided 40 assists, a haul only Manchester City forward David Silva (50) can better.
  • Dimitri Payet has been involved in 11 goals in his past 12 Premier League appearances (scoring three, assisting eight).
