\"manLondon: English football side Manchester United<\/a> began 2017 with an encouraging 2-0 win over West Ham in a Premier League match.<\/p>\n

United beat West Ham in a match where the quality of the officiating played a major, if not decisive, role.<\/p>\n

West Ham were reduced to 10 men at the 15-minute mark on Monday as referee Mike Dean showed the red card to Sofiane Feghouli for an arguable offence.<\/p>\n

Even so, the hosts held off the star-studded United team until the second half.<\/p>\n

Substitute Juan Mata put the visitors up 1-0 with a goal at the hour mark and Zlatan Ibrahimovic got the second in the 78th minute from apparently an offside position.<\/p>\n

With their sixth win in a row, sixth-placed United have 39 points, the same as Tottenham Hotspurs, who are ahead on goal differential ahead of Wednesday’s London derby with Chelsea.<\/p>\n

United’s crosstown rival Manchester City also won, 2-1 against Burnley while second-place Liverpool gave up valuable points with a draw.<\/p>\n

City, coming off a tough 0-1 loss to Liverpool, played two-thirds of Monday’s game against Burnley with only 10 men after Fernandinho was sent off in the 32nd minute for a rough tackle on Johann Berg Gudmundsson.<\/p>\n

Burnley held off the City attack until the 58th minute, when Gael Clichy found the back of net. Sergio Agüero made it 2-0 for the Manchester side just four minutes later. Ben Mee clawed one back for Burnley.<\/p>\n

The win brings City to 42 points, two behind Liverpool and two ahead of Arsenal, who face Bournemouth on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Liverpool led twice in Monday’s contest at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland, but Jermain Defoe converted two penalties to earn a point for the hosts, currently in 18th place.<\/p>\n

Liverpool, with 44 points from 20 matches, trail league leaders Chelsea by five points.<\/p>\n

Everton dominated Southampton 3-0 and West Bromwich Albion topped Hull City 3-1, while Leicester City held Middlesbrough 0-0 at the Riverside Stadium in Monday’s other fixtures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
