Manchester United staged a second-half fight-back to win 3-1 at West Ham United on Saturday.

Goals from Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and substitute Marcus Rashford turned things around for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who have fallen behind in all five away games this term but have won every match as part of a club-record nine successive away league victories.

David Moyes' side made by far the better start and were rewarded for their first-half superiority when the unmarked Tomas Soucek headed in from a corner after 38 minutes.

"You have a duty to be ready whenever you are called upon. Bruno [Fernandes] and Marcus [Rashford] came on and did well," Solskjaer told BBC Sport.

"The goals were exceptional. [Greenwood] is a great finisher. We are just waiting for his season to get started but he is getting fitter. The first goal was top quality from Paul Pogba. I am so happy for him.

"We got away with a poor performance. Away from home we have the character and belief. To [come from behind and win] five times on the bounce is exceptional."
