Pochettino: Unlikely Kane will play again this season

Tottenham enjoyed a comfortable afternoon at the office as Lucas Moura netted a hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Huddersfield.

Victor Wanyama opened the scoring before the Brazilian took over scoring three times to move Spurs into third place in the race for the Champions League places.

Here's how it all played out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium:

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.

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.

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!
