- Paul Pogba took his two penalties against West Ham in a different way he used to

- The France international had introduced a slow run-up before hotting the ball

- Manchester United ran away with a 2-1 victory against Manuel Pellegrini's side

Paul Pogba has opened up on why he changed his penalty run-up in Manchester United's win against West Ham at Old Trafford.

The Frenchman scored two penalties against the Hammers in his unusual slow run up he introduced at the start of the season

Pogba took plenty of steps before converting against Leicester City on matchday 1 but has had instances where he was unsuccessful.

The 26-year-old failed to score against Southampton, Burnley and Everton after stuttering to the spot.

But in United's crucial Premier League fixture against West Ham, Pogba ditched his long run-up in an conventional way and it worked.

Pogba scored a penalty each in both halves of the match to secure all three points for United and after the game, he revealed why he changed his penalty run-up.

"Because what matters is to put the ball inside (the goal)," Pogba said when asked why he changed his penalty run-up.

"That's all, I've learnt," he added. "Maybe I tricked him (the goalkeeper) today!"

Pogba also admitted that United were lucky to have got maximum points against the London club.

"I think we had the luck, you always have to take it, sometime it is for the other team but we took it today."

Pogba has now scored with 13 league goals and since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho last December.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
