Manchester United came from behind for a pulsating 2-1 Premier League win at West Ham United on Sunday in their first game since the death of the club’s former great George Best.

A minute’s applause rang around Upton Park before kickoff, while Best’s former team mate Bobby Charlton paid tribute to the Northern Ireland winger who died in a London hospital on Friday.

Clapping and one-minute silences were properly observed at nearly every English game at the weekend, while tributes flowed from former players around the world.

Sunday’s match started badly for Best’s former club, who were behind after just 52 seconds. But second-half goals from Wayne Rooney and John O’Shea turned the match around and hoisted their club to second in the table behind champions Chelsea. Wins for Everton and Fulham, along with a draw for West Bromwich Albion, moved all three clubs away from the relegation zone in the day’s earlier matches.

Nigerian defender Joseph Yobo headed the only goal as Everton beat Newcastle United 1-0, American striker Brian McBride scored both in Fulham’s 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers and West Brom earned a creditable 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough.
