West Ham 3-1 Manchester United: 5 Hits and Flops

#3 Hit: Mark Noble

Noble was relentless in his pressing style, worked hard throughout and frustrated United's midfielders

An unsung hero in a West Ham side who didn't need to be at top gear to prevail today, Mark Noble.

The 31-year-old has established himself as a mainstay in central midfield for over a decade now in east London - his performance today typified exactly why. A tireless display, he was patient in possession and importantly, worked hard off-the-ball to make things difficult for Manchester United in central areas.

He kept things ticking over accurately, with 81 touches, only Nemanja Matic (94) had more than his 67 passes (88.1%) over the 90 minutes. Defensively, he completed three tackles, one clearance and was fouled twice, before creating his 36th Premier League assist with a probing pass into Arnautovic's path - the Austrian could not miss.
