Bournemouth, Burnley, Fulham and Southampton secure Premier League victories

Relive the 3pm Premier League games

Claudio Ranieri sacked by Fulham

Burnley and Southampton took big steps toward avoiding relegation from the Premier League with crucial victories on Saturday, while Cardiff inched closer to the drop after a third straight loss.

Chris Wood may well have secured another season in the top flight for Burnley by scoring both goals in a 2-0 home win over Cardiff, a result that leaves the Welsh club five points from safety in 18th place.

Burnley now looks safe on 39 points, 11 ahead of Cardiff, while Southampton boosted its chances of staying up by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 3-1.

Brighton, though, is still in trouble after being hammered 5-0 at home by Bournemouth to drop to 17th place.

Fulham, which has also been relegated with Huddersfield, earned its first win since January by beating Everton 2-0.

88 minutes

He's strapped up, a Karate Kid black wrapping around his forehead, the treatment wasting a bit of time.

West Ham still alive, just, but time is running out. We may be in for a lengthy stoppage time period, too.

89 minutes

Angelo Ogbonna's header back towards Lukasz Fabianski is underweight but the goalkeeper scampers out and knocks the ball past Anthony Martial to relieve the potential danger.

90 minutes

Manchester United's bus is parked. Two solid banks of four.

FIVE additional minutes.

90 + 2 minutes

Marcus Rashford shows real character, now on the left wing and tracking right the way back to scythe the ball from Grady Diangana with a strong tackle.

90 + 3 minutes 

Stuck in the middle for West Ham, unable to force the ball forward at pace and with no Andy Carroll up front for the lump.

That's better. Michail Antonio's chase forces David De Gea to put the ball out of play.

90 + 4 minutes

But Antonio is out-muscled and Fabian Balbuena concedes a throw on halfway.

That could be that.

Full Time: Manchester United 2-1 West Ham

[13 April 2019 19:25 · Harry Latham-Coyle]

A real battle for Manchester United, but a win to get back on track, fortune favouring the fearful as West Ham were cruelly denied anything from a game in which they were the better team.

Paul Pogba's pair of penalties best Felipe Anderson's back-post finish, but the match officials will again be in the spotlight with West Ham falling foul of a couple of questionable decisions.

The three points take Manchester United back above Arsenal into fifth place. Unai Emery's side visit Watford on Monday. 

West Ham stay eleventh, though they could move neither up nor down. Plenty of positives to take for Manuel Pellegrini, but it's a third defeat on the bounce and their best of the rest goal seems a distant one.

That's all from us here tonight after an action-packed day of Premier League action. 20 goals across Saturday's six fixtures.

Plenty more to come tomorrow, including that hotly-anticipated clash at Anfield. Chelsea are again on Merseyside hoping to spoil a Liverpool title challenge, and Jurgen Klopp's side can ill-afford to let things slip...

From me, Harry Latham-Coyle, and The Independent, it's goodnight!
