Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford scored a last-second winner as they beat West Ham United 1-0 at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday to move up to fourth spot. Substitute Rashford tapped in a low cross from Edinson Cavani deep into stoppage time after United had broken down the left flank with the final move of the match. The win means United move above West Ham with 38 points from 22 matches while the Hammers are now fifth on 37 from 23.

Until Rashford’s goal finished off an attack started by Cristiano Ronaldo and also featuring Anthony Martial there had been few chances at either end in a disappointingly dull game. Tomas Soucek had gone close to scoring for the Londoners near the end with a glancing header from a corner which flashed just wide of the far post.

Follow all the latest reaction from the Premier League game at Old Trafford below.

Southampton 1 - 0 Man City

39 mins: Save! Man City should be level! Phil Foden is given the ball and takes on Mohammed Salisu as he drives into the box. He squares the ball across the area and Romain Perraud misses his attempted clearance. It comes to Raheem Sterling in acres of space but his shot is turned straight at Fraser Forster who drops low to keep it out! Massive save from the Southampton goalkeeper!

36 mins: Close! Very close from Raheem Sterling. Bernardo Silva slips him into the right side of the box and Sterling cuts inside before slotting a left-footed effort towards the far top corner. He strikes his shot well and almost curls the ball back in time but it narrowly swings around the back post.

Southampton 1 - 0 Man City

33 mins: Over half an hour played at St. Marys and Southampton have the lead against the Premier League leaders. Jan Bednarek fouls Jack Grealish and there’s a bit of a barney between Romeu and Grealish. The Southampton man thinks Grealish went down too easily but the replays show Bednarek catching Grealish with his studs showing. He goes in the book for the tackle.

30 mins: Southampton want a penalty! Broja makes another cutting run into the City box and is clipped by Ederson as he tries to get to the ball. There’s a loud roar from the Southampton fans who thinks this is clearcut once again the offside flag is raised against the Saints striker.

Southampton 1 - 0 Man City

27 mins: Southampton have held their own so far. Manchester City have been a little one-paced and the Saints have been aggressive with their counterattacks.

The win the ball deep in their own half and Jan Bednarek fires it over to the left wing as Che Adams starts a run. It doesn’t pay off as the pass is wayward but Adams gives Bednarek a nod of encouragement for the attempt.

Southampton 1 - 0 Man City

24 mins: Southampton think they have a second! Oriol Romeu dinks the ball in behind Kyle Walker as Armando Broja makes a run in behind. He takes the ball under control, runs into the box and slides it underneath Ederson to send the Southampton fans going crazy but the offside flag is raised immediately and a VAR check confirms it. No goal.

21 mins: Sterling and Bernardo both make runs into the right side of the penalty area and Kevin De Bruyne attempts to pick one of them out with a curling pass into the box. He overhits it though and sends the ball out for a goal kick before raising a hand in apology for the poor pass.

18 mins: Joao Cancelo makes a run down the left side and carries the ball into the box. He attempts to pass it into the six-yard area for a teammate but Forster is there again to claim the ball for the Saints.

Southampton 1 - 0 Man City

15 mins: The ball is chipped over to Sterling on the right and he sprints in behind Perraud to get to the loose ball. He hangs a cross into the box but Fraser Forster comes out and claims the ball.

As expected Man City are dominating possession but haven’t yet clicked in the final third.

13 mins: Raheem Sterling receives the ball out on the right side and attempts to thread Bernardo Silva into the box. Silva manages to keep the ball alive but has to run out of play to do so and Romain Perraud takes over for Southampton before working the ball clear.
