SUMMARY:
Manchester United has marched one step closer to the English Premier League title with a 4-1 rout of West Ham at Old Trafford.
Despite a man down for most of the match after losing Portugese winger Nani to a silly red card for a head-butt on Lucas Neil, the Red Devils dominated the game from start to finish with Player of the Year Cristiano grabbing a brace for his 30th league goal of the season and 40th overall.
Argentine striker Carlos Tevez managed to outshine the speedy winger with a fantastic 30-yard strike for United's third goal before Dean Ashton pegged a goal back for the visitors just before the half hour mark.
United were rarely threatened thereafter and Hammers old-boy Michael Carrick scored against his former club for United's fourth goal in the second half to wrap up the win.
Meanwhile, Fulham looks set to pull off an amazing escape act with a 2-0 win over Birmingham that hauled them out of the relegation zone. Brian McBride and Erik Nevland strikes in the second half gave the London club their third win in the last four matches and a win over Portsmouth next weekend's finale will see them avoid the drop.
In other matches, wins were recorded for Middlesbrough, Tottenham, Wigan, Blackburn, Bolton, Arsenal and Liverpool.
