United moved back above Liverpool at the top with their 1-0 win at West Ham yesterday courtesy of a brilliant goal from 35-year-old Ryan Giggs, who has now scored in all 17 Premier League campaigns.

"United have everything," said Hammers boss Zola. "We have been beaten by probably the best team in the world.

"They punished our only mistake in a very professional way. I knew it would be difficult for us if they scored first.

"I did not expect them to be so good defensively. I knew they would be good offensively.

"They are just getting stronger. Not many teams will beat us here. They were great."

United keeper Edwin van der Sar has now gone a record 13 League matches without conceding a goal leaving Chelsea trailing in fourth place after their 0-0 draw with Hull on Saturday.

Skipper Terry today urged the supporters who booed the team off at full-time to blame the players for the club's slump in form, not manager Luiz Felipe Scolari.

He said: "I apologise to the fans because our performances at home and away have not been good enough and we have not been putting on the performances which give their ticket value for money. They are working awfully hard to afford to come with their friends and families and we are not turning it on for them."
