Fans praise Mark Noble for ‘pocketing’ Paul Pogba during outstanding performance against Manchester United

Mark Noble was named ‘Man of the Match’ as West Ham beat Manchester United 3-1 at the London Stadium.

The aging midfielder, now 31, had come in for much criticism in the early weeks of the new season as the Hammers lost their first four matches in the league.

However, they have now turned things around with four impressive results and Noble has been a key part of the transformation.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side won 3-1 at Everton, drew 0-0 with Chelsea, beat Macclesfield 8-0 and then conquered United.

On Saturday, Noble put his opposition midfielders, including Paul Pogba, to shame – a fact that was picked up on by fans on social media.

You can read a round-up of the best reaction below.

Video of John McGinn’s goal for Aston Villa against Sheffield Wednesday in Championship loss

John McGinn opened his Aston Villa account in style when his stunning volley crashed into the back of the Sheffield Wednesday net.

It is surely already on the list of goal of the season contenders.

Here, talkSPORT.com wanted to share an angle of the incredible swerve he managed to get on the volley – think Roberto Carlos’ free-kick against France and you get the idea.

McGinn, 23, joined the Championship club from Hibs in the summer despite strong interest from Celtic.

Sadly for the Scotland international, his stunning equaliser was as good as it got, as Villa lost 2-1 with players being booed off the pitch.
