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.

Likewise at Craven Cottage. Fulham have impressed, but it remains goalless.

Three first-half goals at St Mary's. The second half is underway.

And the resumption at Turf Moor completes the set.

GOAL! Fulham 1-0 Everton (Tom Cairney, 46 minutes)

It had been coming!

Straight from the restart, Fulham get a deserved goal.

Everton are slow in settling down and Ryan Babel capitalises, beating a couple before finding Tom Cairney who finishes well into the corner.

PENALTY! Cardiff are awarded a penalty for handball!

Harry Latham-Coyle13 April 2019 16:05

Hold on. Mike Dean is having a chat with his linesman.

Neil Warnock is waiting...

NO PENALTY! How he'll be seething!

He is. He's berating the fourth official.

Harry Latham-Coyle13 April 2019 16:06

There are two handball incidents in quick succession, the first one certainly isn't handball, and the second one doesn't look to be either. Innocuous. Ben Mee is the player. It has hit his arm, but that's the right decision in the end.

Neil Warnock is absolutely furious.

​Burnley 1-0 Cardiff, 51 minutes

So it will stay at 1-0 for the time being.

The assistant was sure of the penalty, waved his flag as such, but after a consultation, Mike Dean decided to rule it out.

Burnley 1-0 Cardiff, 53 minutes

Harry Arter now fires against the top of the crossbar!

Cardiff are roaring back into it...
