West Ham United recorded a deserved three points against Manchester United on Sunday evening.
Gary Neville has claimed that Mark Noble ‘dominated’ the midfield as West Ham United recorded a comfortable 2-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
The Hammers were comfortable in possession and they looked like the only team who were going to score as they did just that before the half-time break.
Felipe Anderson played a delightful flick to Yarmolenko, who slotted the ball into the bottom corner before Aaron Creswell scored a stunning free-kick late on.
Speaking during his commentary stint for Sky Sports Football (22/09/2019 15:45 pm), Neville awarded Noble the Man of the Match as he praised him for proving his worth in the middle of the park.
“You look at that midfield today and I look at Mark Noble, and I’m trying to think of the right word to pay him the respect because he is a good Premier League player, solid performer.
“[He’s] dependable and I would say he’s a good Premier League player,” Neville told Sky Sports. “He’s dominated that midfield. He looks the most composed on the ball as well. It’s a reflection of this match and he is my Man of the Match.”
Noble played in midfield alongside England international Declan Rice, with Pablo Fornals playing further forward than the defensive-minded duo.
It was a comfortable afternoon for the experienced man as Man Utd looked lacklustre with the ball and without the ball.
The three points mean that West Ham move into the top-four with 11 points after six games, as they hope to secure a European place at the end of the season.
