Twitter Reacts as West Ham Beat Manchester Utd in Final Match at Upton Park

As you are undoubtedly aware, Tuesday was a historic night for West Ham. After 2,397 games at Upton Park, the stadium hosted its last-ever game, with Slaven Bilic's team set to continue their activities at the Olympic Stadium next season.

The visitors were Manchester United, who had not lost to West Ham in their past 14 meetings (as per OptaJoe).

The locals did not exactly roll out the red carpet for Louis van Gaal's side:

What a way to sign off at Upton Park, by having the home fans throw stuff at the away team's bus, setting a great example.....

Kick-off was delayed by 45 minutes, prompting West Ham co-owner David Sullivan to give a unique take on the situation:

When the game kicked off, it took only 10 minutes for Diafra Sakho to make a special atmosphere even more special:

In the 19th minute, some poor defending from Daley Blind gave Andy Carroll a clear opportunity to score, which he squandered:

At half-time, Twitter was rather unimpressed with United's performance:

In the 51st minute, however, United were composed and found an equaliser through Anthony Martial:

Finally, after 45 minutes, Man Utd finally turn up for this game. And once again, it's Anthony Martial to get them out of trouble.

In the 72nd minute, Martial threatened to dampen the Boleyn farewell when he managed his second of the evening:

Minutes later, Michail Antonio found the equaliser:

With 10 minutes of normal time remaining, Winston Reid made it 3-2 to the home side:

It finished 3-2 to West Ham, providing a fitting end for West Ham's 112-year residency at the Boleyn Ground—and seriously jeopardising United's UEFA Champions League chances:
