The stadium erupts as the fans blast out a celebratory rendition of “We’re forever blowing bubbles”. West Ham have produced an impressive comeback to beat Manchester United 3-2 in a fittingly thrilling final game at Upton Park. Trouble outside the ground delayed kick-off at the Boleyn Ground by 45 minutes, but once the action got underway the fans were treated to an end-to-end encounter that truly burst into life in the second half. Winston Reid’s winning goal has put the Hammers back up to sixth, while Manchester United now need a helping hand from their neighbours if they are to finish above City and claim the final Champions League qualification place.

GOOOAAALLL!!! Winston Reid completes the comeback, getting on the end of Payet's cross and thumping a header through De Gea. That was poor from the keeper, who really should have kept it out. 3-2!

Everything about that goal was class from West Ham - the delivery, the movement to make the space, and the thunderous finish.

GOOOAAALLL!!! Payet crashes a free-kick into the wall, but he picks up the rebound and produces a gem of a delivery that Michail Antonio dispatches emphatically into the top corner with a brilliant header. 2-2.
