document: West Ham United 2 Manchester United 4 : match report Read a full match report of the Premier League game between West Ham United v Manchester United at Upton Park on Saturday April 2 , kick-off 12.45 GMT . Wayne Rooney struck a second-half hat-trick as Manchester United came from two goals down to beat West Ham 4-2 and strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League . Mark Noble had scored twice from the penalty spot at Upton Park but the hosts felt Nemanja Vidic should have been dismissed by referee Lee Mason for denying Demba Ba a goalscoring opportunity . United took full advantage in the second half , with Rooney pulling a goal back before levelling with his 100th league goal for his club . The England striker then established a lead with a penalty after Matthew Upson 's handball , before Javier Hernandez grabbed another . United manager Sir Alex Ferguson watched the match unfold from the stands as he is serving a touchline ban for criticising referee Martin Atkinson . After 10 minutes another decision went against his team when the hosts took the lead through Noble 's first penalty , after a move that started on the edge of West Ham 's penalty area . Thomas Hitzlsperger 's long pass out of defence released Carlton Cole , whose attempt to lob the ball over Patrice Evra resulted in the France international handling . Noble kept his nerve and sent Tomasz Kuszczak the wrong way to establish a lead , then doubled the advantage in the 25th minute with another spot-kick . Mason 's decision for the second penalty may have angered Ferguson , as Vidic was certain his challenge on Cole came outside the area . The Serbia international even pointed to the precise area he had made the tackle as Cole danced in from the left , but Mason had already made his decision . Noble went for power with his second penalty , and in the opposite corner , with his finish angling into the roof of the net . United were inevitably going to see more of the ball as they chased the game , but their first sight of goal led to an athletic save from Robert Green . West Ham manager Avram Grant could not understand why Green did not play for England against Ghana in Tuesday 's friendly at Wembley following his recent good form . He produced a fine stop to deny Park Ji-Sung when the midfielder was left unmarked and unleashed a powerful volley . United also felt they should have had a penalty when Rooney 's poor control saw the ball flick up and strike Upson on the arm . Vidic , though , was thankful for Mason 's leniency when he was only given a yellow card when he prevented Ba from racing through on goal . Hitzlsperger flashed the resulting free-kick just wide . Hernandez was brought on at the half-time interval , with Ryan Giggs moved to left-back as United looked to get back into the game . Rooney pulled a goal back with a spectacular curling free-kick 25 yards from goal after Noble had fouled Michael Carrick in the 65th minute , giving United momentum heading into the final phase of the game . Rooney then levelled the match when he collected Antonio Valencia 's pass , raced past Manuel Da Costa and fired his finish beyond Green . Dimitar Berbatov , on as a substitute , forced two saves from Green but it was Rooney who grabbed the lead for them , tucking away his penalty after Upson handled Fabio da Silva 's cross . Giggs crossed for Hernandez to tap in with six minutes remaining to add gloss to the scoreline .
