Paul Pogba's brace bailed out Manchester United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side stuttered to a fortuitous 2-1 win against West Ham.

Tuesday's huge Champions League quarter-final challenge in Barcelona looms large, but attention first turned to securing a return to European football's top table next season.

United moved within two points of the top four as a pair of Pogba penalties sealed victory at Old Trafford, but those in attendance will know how fortunate Solskjaer's side were to have secured a point, never mind three.

Relive all the action from Old Trafford.

Tottenham moved third in the day's early action with an excellent hat-trick from Lucas Moura taking them past a largely lifeless Huddersfield:

Moving ever nearer to kick-off.

Predictions? I fancy at least a couple of draws this afternoon...

The whistles blow, the first passes are played.

​The afternoon's Premier League action continues: the three o'clock fixtures have begun.

GOAL! Southampton 1-0 Wolves (Nathan Redmond, 2 minutes)

What a start for Southampton!

Josh Sims, starting for the first time this season, is involved in the build up but it is Nathan Redmond who scores brilliantly, beating Romain Saiss to the ball and finding an incisive finish.

Burnley 0-0 Cardiff, 2 minutes

Nearly a great start for Burnley, too, Chris Wood heading against the post after a Dwight McNeil free kick.

Fulham 0-0 Everton, 5 minutes

Positive beginning for Fulham, seeking a first win under Scott Parker this afternoon.

A rip-roaring start from Southampton, the earliest of leads through Nathan Redmond.

Southampton 1-0 Wolves, 10 minutes

Wolves have come back into this one well, however, and Leander Dendocker should find the target with his header from a lovely Joao Moutinho free kick, just directing the ball wide.

​Burnley 0-0 Cardiff, 11 minutes

Neil Etheridge is briefly caught out as he jostles at a corner, Burnley's sizeable cohort testing the Cardiff goalkeeper aerially.

Etheridge just about gets a paw to the ball to get it away.

Southampton 1-0 Wolves, 15 minutes

Nathan Redmond is buzzing about with some threat, but his finish on this occasion is not of the requisite quality to beat the experienced Rui Patricio, the Portuguese goalkeeper holding on to his curling try.
