By AFPMore by this AuthorMANCHESTERManchester United needed two Paul Pogba penalties to stay in contention for a top-four Premier League finish by beating West Ham 2-1, while Tottenham moved up to third thanks to Lucas Moura's hat-trick in a 4-0 win over Huddersfield on Saturday. United were gifted a first-half lead when Robert Snodgrass's clumsy challenge brought down Juan Mata and Pogba sent his first spot-kick down the middle of the goal. Antonio crashed a shot from range off the bar before De Gea produced a stunning save to claw the West Ham forward's header to safety. Within seconds of being saved by their captain, United had a second penalty 10 minutes from time when Ryan Fredericks chopped down Anthony Martial, and this time Pogba buried his penalty into the bottom corner. Southampton further eased their relegation fears with a 3-1 win over Wolves to move eight points clear of the drop zone.
