Late goals were the order of the day in another exciting afternoon of Premier League action.

Matt Ritchie was on hand to smash a half-volley in at the back post against former side Bournemouth as Newcastle snatched the latest of points. Javier Hernandez scored twice in the final embers as West Ham left bottom club Huddersfield contemplating another away defeat.

And Wes Morgan's late strike proved the winner for 10-man Leicester as Burnley's relegation fears worsened.

Luke Shaw has done pretty well on the left side. He blocks Dendocker's cross but Wolves win a corner anyway.

Man Utd appeal for a handball in the area but the referee gives it as a corner. It was quite similar to the one they got against PSG but it doesn't go in their favour tonight. Wolves break but Man Utd get back quickly and defend well.

Boly takes Pogba down as he makes a run with the ball. He's put in the book and has no complaints. Martial runs the ball into the box and wins a corner for the visitors.

SECOND HALF: Wolves 0 - 0 Man Utd

Either side can claim this match. Wolves doggedly stuck to their own plan in the first 45 minutes and silenced Man Utd. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men are in need of some inspiration at half-time in order to break the deadlock.
