00:00At the height of their powers, 7 points clear in the Premier League

00:03Sir Alex Ferguson's men were well set to retain their title

00:06And were planning a 10th successive home victory over Harry Redknapp's West Ham United

00:11If past results were anything to go by, a United victory was a formality

00:15The Hammers had never beaten them in the Premier League

00:18With the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid in mind, Sir Alex rested Ryan Giggs

00:23So Quinton Fortune started, otherwise Ferguson went with most of his first-choice line-up

00:29The awards kept coming for him, this was for being manager of the decade

00:34He'd also been named the greatest manager ever by his peers

00:40With Paolo Di Canio out, Paolo Wanchot came in for West Ham to partner Freddy Canuti

00:46Croatian Igor Stimac was suspended

00:49South African international Quinton Fortune also received an award as the most promising international player

00:54Your match commentator is John Champion

00:581st of April, Manchester United 14-1 on

01:03To lift the Premier League title

01:057 points clear of Leeds at kick-off

01:07West Ham also going well by their own standards, 8th in the table

01:15Manchester United's home form overwhelmingly better than West Ham's away

01:21They've only won three times on their travels, at Bradford, at Watford and at Leicester

01:28This is, didn't matter altogether coming here

01:35Up goes Dwight York

01:38There's Irwin

01:41Winning it a second time and taking on Lomas

01:46With a big old kick

01:50It's been a long season for West Ham, it began in the Intertoto Cup back on the 17th of July

01:56It's their 45th game

01:59Harry Redknapp has only ever enjoyed one victory over Manchester United as a manager

02:03And that was famously in the FA Cup 16 years ago

02:07When he was in charge of Bournemouth

02:16Rio Ferdinand's header

02:18Will give Manchester United a throw

02:25Gary Neville

02:28Beckham

02:31Nice ball

02:33Neville

02:36Kicked behind by Steve Potts

02:47And forward comes Jepp Stam for this

02:56Cole

02:59Through the legs of Lomas

03:02But not past Craig Forrest

03:09A nice trick

03:12Manchester United have opened up very brightly

03:15I think the manager Kevin Keegan

03:17Having a chat with former referee Don Shaw in front there

03:25Manchester United are top scorers in the English Premier League with 69 goals

03:31They do give the opposition a chance, they've conceded more

03:34Than any other member of the top six, they've let in 35

03:38All in all it's made for great entertainment

03:55Off goes Wanchop

03:57And he's got goal side

03:59Of Sylvestre

04:01And he has scored

04:06Echoes of his derby debut

04:11Oh and he bagged that wonderful individual effort here to announce himself in English football

04:17Bosnich can't believe it

04:19Bosnich should have stopped it

04:21But Paulo Wanchop

04:23Has repeated his trick

04:27Three years ago this weekend he scored that goal here for the Rams

04:32And now he's staged another raid

04:36How about this for a scoreline

04:37Manchester United 0

04:39West Ham 1

04:42United 1 goal

04:51Keane

04:52To Beckham

04:56Gary Neville

05:00Cole

05:01Couldn't turn on it

05:02Beckham tries one

05:12This is a turn up

05:15West Ham really disappointed that Paulo De Canio

05:18Pulled out after injuring himself in training on Thursday

05:22There are one or two in their camp that feel that when the big games come up away from Upton Park

05:27He's not always up for the task

05:30Here's Wanchop

05:36It's not the first time that De Canio has made himself unavailable

05:39For a difficult away fixture

05:57Gary Neville

06:02Keane

06:04Keane

06:09Beckham

06:12On it's way by Steve Lomas

06:18Beckham will go across to take this corner

06:25It's taken short for him

06:26Comes out to Paul Scholes

06:291-1

06:42Manchester United were behind for just 13 minutes

06:57You can see Forrest struggling to see the ball

07:01By the time he did see it, it was too late

07:16Scholes

07:26Keane

07:27Keane

07:28Keane

07:29Keane

07:30Keane

07:31Keane

07:32Keane

07:34Wanchop

07:38Now Beckham

07:44Keane

07:49And again Roy Keane

07:51Down he goes

07:52And Mike Riley points to the spot

07:56For the foul by Steve Potts

08:02West Ham's most experienced defender

08:05Caught out by Roy Keane

08:07Keane

08:08Keane

08:09Keane

08:10Keane

08:11Keane

08:12Keane

08:13Eight games short of 500 for the Hammers

08:18Was unable to halt Keane

08:20With a legal challenge

08:23He's claiming that he got a toe end to the ball

08:26Another referee saw it

08:34Dennis Irwin has converted 10 of his 11 penalties

08:38For Manchester United

08:41Make that 10 of 12

08:43But he'll score from the rebound

08:53More comfortably, more obligingly for him

08:56As it rebounded off poor Craig Forrest

09:04This is not the West Ham goalkeeper's favourite stadium

09:09Five years ago here, he conceded nine

09:12Playing for Ipswich

09:14And it was a good penalty save but it was helpless

09:17As the loose ball

09:19Was lashed in

09:20By the man whose penalty he just saved

09:26York

09:30Manchester United unbeaten in the last 13 games against West Ham

09:34Since a very costly defeat at Upton Park eight years ago

09:43Scores!

09:45Good save Forrest

09:51He knew it was going to be busy

09:54And it's proving to be that way

10:04So Alec Ferguson has a huge testimonial dinner in Manchester planned for tonight

10:10Guests arriving from all over Europe

10:20One curve

10:26Mid-turn

10:28West Ham free kick

10:40There's Foe

10:44It wasn't the finest moment for Mark Bosnich was it?

10:51If you come as the goalkeeper you have to collect or get a punch on it

11:00John Moncur

11:11Lomas

11:14Foe

11:20Foe

11:24Lampard

11:27Minto

11:30He's got past two

11:32And then goes down under the challenge of Keane

11:34Although in fairness Minto didn't appeal

11:39It's Beckham

11:41How about that provision?

11:45Quinton Fortune

11:50Foe

11:57Moncur

12:04Kanute

12:07Was on loan from Lyon

12:10Sorted by Roger Cross

12:16Prominent member of the West Ham coaching staff

12:21Come on Freddie!

12:30Beckham

12:37Beckham's ball in

12:38And Cole!

12:42Out jumped Lomas

12:44And makes it 3-1

12:453-1

12:49In first half stoppage time

13:02It's a ripping ball in

13:03On the run

13:04Delivered by Beckham

13:08It's the sort of service on which Cole has thrived for a decade

13:16Manchester United are going to head in happily

13:19For their half-time words of wisdom

13:27There's the whistle

13:30And Manchester United lead by three goals to one

13:34Which fairly accurately reflects the balance of the play that we've seen

13:39Scholes

13:40Irwin

13:41And Cole with the goals

13:42Manchester United 3

13:44West Ham United

13:461

13:53Fank does task for West Ham or

13:55Is there realistic hope?

13:59Manchester United

14:01Not it seems to be denied at the moment

14:04They've won nine games in a row here

14:06Against West Ham

14:10And they're unbeaten

14:12On this ground in 36 games in all competitions

14:1624 in the Premier League

14:18Last visiting team to win here

14:20Middlesbrough in December

14:221998

14:26Here's Scholes

14:31Cole

14:36Lomas is laying down the law to his colleagues at the back

14:39For West Ham

14:42He's concerned with what

14:44He views as a lack of application

14:46And of concentration

14:56York

15:02Keane

15:03For Irwin

15:07Now Fortune

15:10Letting fly

15:11And it's well held

15:13By Forrest

15:30Beckham

15:33Rio Ferdinand slipped

15:35Cole was in

15:36Here's Beckham

15:37Three waiting

15:38There's Scholes

15:41That's a beauty

15:52Very dainty

15:54Very dexterous

15:56Very galling for West Ham

16:01A backheeled second for Paul Scholes

16:04Manchester United

16:06Lead by four goals to one now

16:11What's most worrying of all for the visitors

16:13Is that

16:14There are still 40 minutes to play

16:21That's terrific

16:32Cameroon International

16:38Scott Minton

16:42Trevor Sinclair

16:55This was

16:56A hopeful effort, shall we say

16:59Not a threatening one

17:02West Ham have never beaten Manchester United

17:04In the English Premier League

17:11York

17:14York

17:23This is just the sort of game that Manchester United

17:25Would have wanted ahead of that trip to the Bernabeu

17:28On Tuesday for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final

17:31Against Real Madrid

17:33It's not proving to be too challenging

17:36They're not suffering from resting key players

17:38Like Ryan Giggs

17:41Beckham

17:47Beckham

17:50Here's Butt

17:51Around the goalkeeper

17:52Goes down

17:54Mike Riley has awarded another penalty

18:02And West Ham are far from happy

18:05Particularly John Moncur

18:08Referee says that

18:09Moncur clipped the heel of Nicky Butt

18:12Interesting to see who takes this

18:15Dennis Irwin

18:16Missed

18:18In the first half

18:19From the spot

18:20Scored for the rebound

18:22Well that's why West Ham are unhappy

18:24He tripped himself

18:27It's going to be Paul Scholes

18:29Who now has a hat-trick

18:41The home-grown

18:42Home-spun talent

18:46Born nearby in Salford

18:49Becoming a prolific Manchester United scorer

18:51From midfield

18:54Three today

19:00Fortune

19:05Lomas was with him stride for stride

19:12This sort of form is worrying

19:15For those who must face Manchester United

19:17In the coming days

19:20Real Madrid scouts can't fail to have been impressed

19:24Here's Beckham

19:26Came off Foe

19:28Fortune

19:32Look at the desire of Stam to get there first

19:35He's already won

19:38Neville

19:39York

19:42They're all playing for places

19:43In Madrid

19:47Free kick

19:51Now this is

19:52Within range for you-know-who

19:59Manchester United's number seven

20:01Quickly on the scene to tear it up

20:09It's Beckham

20:10Oh it's fantastic

20:14His speciality

20:27Six for Manchester United

20:31And some of the goals have been beauties

20:33Six of the best

20:36West Ham just having to grin and bear it

20:40It's a familiar feeling for them on this ground

20:44And certainly for Craig Forrest

20:45Remember beaten nine times here

20:48Keeping goal for Ipswich

20:50And he's let in six today

20:55He had no chance with that

21:00How about this for a luxury

21:01You lead by six goals to one

21:04You take off

21:05Andy Cole

21:07And Paul Scholes

21:08And replace them with Teddy Sheringham

21:10And Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

21:12Whose goals won the European Cup

21:32Come on, come on

21:34Still that gun being chewed vigorously

21:39Can he go super?

21:47Great man power

21:50Can he take?

21:53That was fair weight

22:02I don't think West Ham have had as many chances

22:04As Manchester United have had goals

22:15It's been a canter

22:17Despite the concession of the early goal to one shot

22:20It's been a breeze

22:27Beckham

22:31Come on, come on

22:35Come on, come on

22:36Potts slow to react

22:38Solskjaer wasn't

22:46Seven goals now

22:49Sixteen in two visits to Old Trafford

22:52Let in by Craig Forrest

22:53It's no great reflection on him

22:56Difficult to fault him really

22:58Andy's made some good saves

22:59It could have been double figures

23:00But for the Canadian

23:04But he's been badly let down

23:05By those in front of him

23:15Yes chaps, you're next

23:16Middlesbrough in nine days time

23:24York

23:27Solskjaer

23:30Good play by Forrest

23:31To get the loose ball away

23:35Inches away from being 8-1

23:42This is going to be West Ham's

23:43Worst defeat at the hands of Manchester United

23:48This was how close Solskjaer was to his second and United's eighth

24:01Beckham

24:09Fairway

24:10It's academic now for West Ham

24:13They'll be so relieved when the whistle goes

24:17Kanuta

24:27Who can stop them now?

24:29Manchester United go ten points clear

24:32In the English Premier League

24:33With just seven games to play

24:37A hat-trick for Paul Scholes

24:39Goals from Beckham, Cole, Irwin

24:42And latterly Solskjaer

24:44A comprehensive win

24:47That word barely does it justice

24:48And poor Craig Forrest

24:50Beaten 16 times now in two games here

24:53April Fool's Day

24:55No, this was for real

24:567-1

24:58So another great day for Manchester United

25:01And Paul Scholes in particular

25:03With 15 goals conceded in three games

25:05West Ham must have been sick of the side of United

25:08Then again, such was their dominance

25:10That most clubs dreaded coming up against them

25:13This emphatic display brought United a step closer

25:16To another Premier League title

25:18Which they eventually took by 18 points

25:21West Ham finished in ninth
