Manchester United moved back top of the English Premier League on Sunday after a 1-0 win at West Ham United thanks to Ryan Giggs' stunning solo goal. The 35-year-old jinked past two defenders before grabbing the only goal of a tight game on 62 minutes as United kept a 13th straight clean sheet in the league.
The victory lifted the reigning champions two points clear of Liverpool, who briefly took the top spot after beating Portsmouth 3-2 on Saturday. Liverpool now has 54 points from 25 games, having played one more game than United.
A goalless draw at Tottenham Hotspur left Arsenal a far fifth on 44 points but Arsene Wenger's side earned points playing with 10 men for nearly an hour after Emmanuel Eboue's dismissal.
Eboue, having earlier been meaninglessly booked for protesting, was sent off by referee Mike Dean on 37 minutes for a sneaky kick at Luca Modric.
Wenger was incensed but with Dean's decision of deny his side a goal, which Eboue thought he had scored in the 13th minute.
The goal was disallowed because Dean had already blown for a foul on Jonathan Woodgate but Wenger called it "not acceptable".
"The goal we scored is completely normal and I think it was two points dropped," he said, "The goal was cancelled because the referee saw an illusionary foul."
"In fact it was Woodgate who stumbled over (Emmanuel) Adebayor and fell down. It is not acceptable."
The stalemate did neither side good with Spurs seeking to escape the danger zone and the Gunners trying to force their way into the top four.
