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.

​GOAL! Southampton 3-1 Wolves (Shane Long, 71 minutes)

​A third for Southampton, who are moving eight points clear of the relegation zone.

It has been an uncharacteristically poor performance from Wolves, missing their chance to go seventh and again snoozing defensively.

They fail to clear a corner, the ball squirts Shane Long's way and the Irishman obliges with a simple finish.

GOAL! Brighton 0-3 Bournemouth (David Brooks, 74 minutes)

Bad to worse for Brighton, and the fans stomp out of the Amex.

Ryan Fraser and David Brooks combine, an accomplished from the latter putting the game out of sight.

The team news is in from Old Trafford in the day's late fixture.

Burnley 1-0 Cardiff, 79 minutes

Cardiff continue to fight but Burnley have a chance to seal it, Ben Mee meeting a corner powerfully at the back stick but denied by a strong Neil Etheridge save.

GOAL! Brighton 0-4 Bournemouth (Callum Wilson, 82 minutes)

Four!

An awful, awful afternoon for Chris Hughton and Brighton.

Ryan Fraser fires in a cross, Callum Wilson brings it down beautifully and fires in the fourth.

Anthony Knockaert sees red on a disastrous afternoon for Brighton.

Into the closing stages.

A late goal for Cardiff would be huge...

Burnley 1-0 Cardiff, 90 minutes

And they win a corner as we go into four minutes of stoppage time.

Burnley 1-0 Cardiff

And Cardiff appeal for a penalty! The ball strikes James Tarkowski's arm as he blocks a shot and it looks a penalty.

GOAL! Brighton 0-5 Bournemouth (Junior Stanislas, 90 + 2 minutes)

It's five. A great trip along the South Coast for Bournemouth.

David Brooks has plenty of options as Brighton crumble defensively, opting for Junior Stanislas, who adds the fifth.
