West Ham celebrate in style

LONDON -- Three points on West Ham's 3-2 win against Manchester United in the Premier League.

1. Hammers say goodbye in style

It couldn't have ended any other way, really. The final game at the Boleyn Ground finished in a stirring 3-2 comeback victory for West Ham over Manchester United, who now require a favour on the final day to secure Champions League football at the expense of Manchester City. After giving themselves a chance by going 2-1 up, United imploded as the ground around them exploded.

The atmosphere around the Boleyn was supposed to be rather jovial, a celebration of West Ham's farewell to their home for over a century, but the scenes before the game weren't quite so upbeat.
