document: Rooney Outscores West Ham as Manchester United Rallies for Victory Wayne Rooney scored a natural hat trick in a 14-minute span of the second half , his first three-goal game in 14 months , to help Manchester United recover from a two-goal halftime deficit Saturday and beat host West Ham United , 4-2 . The win keeps United on course for a record 19th Premier League title . Two penalty kicks by Mark Noble , after fouls by Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic , put relegation-threatened West Ham ahead , 2-0 , before the 25th minute at Upton Park in London . Rooney trimmed the deficit in the 65th and tied the scored eight minutes later with a low shot across goalkeeper Robert Green . Rooney put United ahead for the first time with a 79th-minute penalty awarded for a hand ball by Matthew Upson , and the Mexico international Javier Hernández then put the result beyond doubt with his 11th Premier League goal of the season . The victory gave United 66 points and an 8-point lead -LRB- pending later games -RRB- with seven matches remaining . BUNDESLIGA GAME ABANDONED The German federation will investigate the beer-throwing incident that forced the referee to suspend a Bundesliga match Friday night . The game between St. Pauli and Schalke in Hamburg was abandoned in the 88th minute when a plastic beer cup hit a linesman in the neck . Schalke was leading at the time , 2-0 . The federation said Saturday that it would look into the incident at the start of the week . St. Pauli faces a fine and could also be ordered to play a home game without spectators . The police identified the fan who threw the cup and detained him , according to St. Pauli 's security chief , Sven Brux . The fan was not identified . The victory is likely to be awarded to Schalke with a final score of 2-0 . `` We can not tolerate such incidents , '' the league chief executive , Holger Hieronymus , said . The linesman Thorsten Schiffner was struck and fell to the ground but was unhurt . The referee Deniz Aytekin decided to end the game after consulting with Schiffner . `` It 's always sad when a game ends before time , '' Aytekin said . `` But we had to call off the game . There was no other choice . '' He pointed out that coins and lighters had also been thrown at Schiffner , who had to be examined by a doctor . `` That 's totally unacceptable , it 's not tolerated and I can only apologize to the linesman , '' St. Pauli Coach Holger Stanislawski said . `` We can swear on the bench , on the field you can play hard , but if you throw things , you are endangering others . '' It was the seventh game in Bundesliga history to be suspended , the federation said . The action on the field was also heated , with St. Pauli ending up with only nine players after two were sent off . Raúl González and Julian Draxler scored for Schalke in Coach Ralf Rangnick 's first game in charge since returning to the club after Felix Magath was fired . After the match Schalke said that Christoph Metzelder , Mario Gavranovic and Peer Kluge were doubtful for Tuesday 's Champions League quarterfinal first-leg match at the defending champion Inter Milan after being injured against St Pauli . DAY GAMES IN J-LEAGUE Matches in Japan 's J-League will kick off before 2 p.m. to help save energy after last month 's deadly earthquake and tsunami knocked out a nuclear power plant . The J-League also said matches in May would start by 4 p.m. as Japan battles power shortages and planned blackouts to reduce the strain on the country 's electricity grid . Japan 's federation said the national team 's J-Village training complex , which is close to the stricken nuclear plant , was to be moved south temporarily . J-Village is currently home to the workers struggling to avoid a meltdown at the plant in Fukushima , about 150 miles north of Tokyo . The J-League was suspended after the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent crisis in Fukushima . It plans to restart on April 23 . -LRB- REUTERS -RRB-
