WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

West Ham ease past Sheffield United

Declan Rice, Issa Diop and Ryan Fredericks each scored their first Premier League goals of the season as West Ham United beat Sheffield United 3-0.

After the home side had an early penalty decision overturned for offside by VAR, Rice scored from the spot four minutes before half-time after Chris Basham had brought down Jesse Lingard.

David McGoldrick was denied a Sheff Utd equaliser when Lukasz Fabianski superbly tipped his header over the bar.

Diop doubled the lead in the 58th minute when he rose highest to head Aaron Cresswell's corner into the far corner of the net.

And Fredericks hit a late third after being set up by fellow substitute Said Benrahma.

The Hammers move above Liverpool to go fifth in the table on 42 points, behind Chelsea on goal difference.

Sheff Utd stay bottom on 11 points, 14 adrift of 17th-placed Newcastle United.
