Andriy Yarmolenko was the hero for the Hammers, slotting in the winner from a counter-attack with a minute left to play.

The result leaves Chelsea just two points ahead of Man United in fifth, while West Ham are three points clear of the relegation zone.

Elsewhere, Everton kept up the fight for a place in Europe, with a 2-1 home win over Leicester.

Second-from bottom Bournemouth’s survival hopes were dealt another blow, after they fell to a 4-1 defeat to Newcastle.

While Arsenal made it three wins in a row, with a 4-0 thrashing of Norwich.

Meanwhile, rumour has it the Gunners are eyeing a summer move for Barcelona forward Antoine Griezmann.

It comes as the Frenchman is no longer guaranteed a place in Barca’s starting eleven, having struggled to perform since his big money move last year.
