WATCH: Diafra Sakho gives West Ham lead over Man United in final Boleyn Ground game

In their final game at the Boleyn Ground, West Ham United took the lead early against Manchester United in a very important game with top four implications. Manuel Lanzini brought the play deep into Man United’s attacking area and then crossed back to Diafra Sakho near the top of the box. Sakho then was fortunate to get a deflection to beat David de Gea and thus give West Ham the lead.

The game was delayed 45 minutes due to West Ham fans throwing bottles and damaging the Manchester United bus. Due to thousands of West Ham fans not having tickets but want to be at the final game of the Boleyn Ground, may have resulted in the increased bad behavior. Unfortunate thing to overshadow what’s supposed to be a great night.
