Fighting West Ham United claimed a 2-0 victory over Manchester United in Old Trafford, condemning Ruben Amorim’s side to the first place this season.
The Red Devils are 16th in the standings after the final whistle, just above their opponents in the next final of the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur, After creating many possibilities that they could not take on and lose the goals scored by Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen.
As the game was deployed
As the summer sun went down to the Old Trafford pitch, the hosts seemed more dangerous in opening exchanges. Bruno Fernandes had a couple of avidators on the bar, while Amad Diallo forced a parry not to be completely convincing of the Alphonse Areola after cutting -right.
West Ham It seemed quite well organized by the center without the ball, but had no creativity open. It then made sense that a decent opportunity for them came from the lack of James Ward-Prowse at Maximilian Kilman’s head, which lacked the goal.
But as the United States intensity reduced, it opened the door to West Ham to take lead. The movement developed to the left of the Hammers, with Mohammed Kudus driving to a dangerous position and shooting a low ball on the face of the goal that Soucek was in the right place at the right time to find it.
After West Ham had advanced, Ramsus Hojlund lost his target with a couple of half a chance, a result of the long pass of Mason Mount at the top that could not go enough to the goal as Areola left to find it.
West Ham came out loading after half a half and almost landed a second fast, as Kudus escaped from Fernandes’ care to enter the box. Ward-Prowse’s final attempt, however, was weak and was easily collected by the grateful Altay Bayindir, who was on Andre Onana’s usual goal.
Sometimes football can be cruel. Thus, when United he thought they had a shout for a penalty that was overwhelmed when Amad collided with Soucek and Vladimir Coufal, and Mount saw a decent shot saved by Areola, West Ham quickly won the second of the party.
Was cheeky and avoidable in United Perspective, but the hammers worried little. Manuel Ugarte, withdrawn almost immediately afterwards, lost his possession to his own half, giving Kudus the freedom to drive to the goal. The movement seemed to be broken down when his shot was blocked, at which point the defensive numbers exceeded the attackers. But Aaron Wan-Bissaka was in his hand to keep the ball alive and find Bowen in the distant post for a touch-in.
The United responded well, but arrived too late and were actually unable to give West Ham leadership. Substitute Alejandro Garnacho shot on the side network, Hojlund directed -before the Dane later saw a shot saved by Areola’s feet.
The French goalkeeper soon removed a stop from Harry Maguire, another replacement, in the nearby range, before somehow put in Hojlund in the center of the goal after a defeat of Maguire. That late pressure in search of at least something continued to the final stages, with the teen Harry Amess and Victor Lindelof who denied each one during a goal search, but West Ham remained firm.
Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers have won to Old Trafford in the Premier League This season. It is no longer the fortress he used to be.
So there was always an opportunity for West Ham, who has been one of the most common visitors in Old Trafford in the time of the Premier League, but to have a horrible record at the stadium, to join the club and get the rewards.
Prior to the starting shot, West Ham had not won a league game outside the United since May 2007, 18 years ago, when Sir Alex Ferguson’s side had already been crowned champion and a goal from Carlos Tevez said that the hammers avoided reappearance on the last day of the season.
While Europe League It has been a very nice watch this season, Manchester United has now equalized its longest career at the Premier League: Seven Games.
They have not won in the league since mid -March, when a desperate Leicester City was the opposition. Other accessories against Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Bournemouth, Brentford and now West Ham have arrived since then.
The last time the United spent a lot of time without a victory in the Premier League, during the first months of the opening campaign of the competition in 1992/93. The difference was that most of these games ended up as draws and the race came to the immediate purpose when Eric Cantona arrived in November 1992, at which time the team spent an excellent race to claim the title in May.
Ruben Amorim clearly manages his squad so that the most important players do not work with fumes or injuries, when the final of the Europa League season arrives, which defines the crucial season in Bilbao.
So, although there have been no wholesale changes here: Bruno Fernandes, Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund began to all, there were some obvious thoughts directed by the European League behind Andre Onana’s omission of the party’s day, and Harry Maguire, Cascemiro, Patrick Dorgu and Alejandro Garnacho Garnacho Garnacho. On the bench.
Kobbie Minoo, Amad Diallo and Mason Mount have lost all great pieces of the season through injuries and need minutes consistent to build their physical shape. At least one, most likely Amad, is likely to start in Bilbao.
The worry is that Yoro’s retirement at the beginning of the second half was the result of an injury.
It is a small consolation, but in this more fearsome season, Manchester United is not as bad as Tottenham Hotspur, the team against which they will play the European League final for a place in the Champions League next season and the associated riches.
Spurs losing against Crystal Palace This is what United stopped, after being jumped by West Ham as a result of this game, to finish the weekend at 17th place.
Amorim and his players will have to wait for the league position and not this season to be the head, which has seen Spurs will win the three meetings so far, will have more information in Bilbao.
This was the first beginning of the Premier League of Amad Diallo since February. When it adapts, it has been one of the main sources of objectives and creativity of the template during the love epoch. This was again evident in this, as United initially started in the early stages of the game. It is also the ivory that brought the game to West Ham just before the killer’s second goal, while he remained involved in helping to make more opportunities until he retired at the end ten minutes.
But two things are clear. He cannot do everything for himself and he has not yet reached the shadow of the game after being cautiously reintroduced in recent weeks.
