Man United 1-0 West Ham United: Rooney sees off West Ham

TEAMtalk :    Wayne Rooney scored a ninth-minute winner to send Manchester United through to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory over a spirited West Ham United.

The England striker side-footed into an empty net after Javier Hernandez had raced in behind the visitors’ defence and squared.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side will now face Fulham at home in the last 32.

There was a tinge of sadness for Rooney, however, who dedicated his goal to his late sister-in-law Rosie, who died on January 5th.
