West Ham defeated Manchester United in their English Premier League clash on Saturday as the Red Devils returned to their losing ways following a hard-fought draw against Liverpool last week.
Raye24reporters reports that Erik ten Hag’s team suffered a 2-0 defeat at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring for West Ham United in the 72nd minute with a well-timed finish, courtesy of a lofted through ball from Paqueta that eluded Mainoo and Shaw.
On his first attempt, the forward’s shot was saved by Andre Onana, but the ball rebounded off him and found its way into the net.
Just five minutes later, Mohammed Kudus, the Ghanaian winger, doubled the lead, making it 2-0.
Naija News understands that United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, decided to field three teenagers – Kambwala, Mainoo, and Garnacho in his starting lineup for today’s match, a move not seen in the EPL since May 2021.
In the 35th minute, United had a promising opportunity to score when Garnacho received a through pass from Antony.
However, in a one-on-one situation, the Argentinian striker fired the ball straight into the hands of the Hammers’ goalkeeper.
With today’s 2-0 defeat, United have now lost four out of their last six games in all competitions. As a result, the Hammers have climbed to sixth place in the table, trailing table leaders Arsenal by nine points.
Unfortunately, the Reds could not bounce back and secure a victory, leaving them in eighth position.
Today’s loss at the London Stadium marks United’s 20th defeat in all competitions in 2023.
