EPL: West Ham defeats Manchester United in a thrilling match thanks to a late Bowen penalty.
LONDON: In a tumultuous match between two struggling teams on Sunday, West Ham United defeated Manchester United 2-1 in the Premier League thanks to a disputed last-minute penalty kick from Jarrod Bowen. With nine games played, West Ham moved up to 13th position in the standings with 11 points, tied with 14th-place Manchester United, thanks to a goal by Crysencio Summerville, his first in a West Ham uniform.
Despite the fact that Man United's defeat was only their second in ten games in all competitions, manager Erik ten Hag will once again be under fire. Ten Hag told the BBC, "We feel injustice three times this season." "We generated a lot of opportunities, so we need to score. We ought to have been up two or three.We let them into the game even though we were forcing it in the second half. In order to recover from a 1-0 loss, the squad must have a strong personality, strong character, and resilience.
"I spoke with (the officials)," Ten Hag said, "but the decision is made. There's no way back and that's football." "I spoke with (the officials)," Ten Hag said, "but the decision is made." "Unfair and unjust the way we conceded the penalty." Bowen scored in the 92nd minute, stepping up to the penalty spot after a lengthy VAR review revealed Matthijs de Ligt had clipped Danny Ings' leg.
5After manager Julen Lopetegui substituted Summerville and Tomas Soucek, West Ham was much livelier in the second half and were lucky not to lose in a first half dominated by their northern opponents. In the 74th minute, Summerville put them ahead when he slipped in at full stretch to put Danny Ings' scuffed shot into the net. Joshua Zirkzee assisted Diogo Dalot in heading across goal from a cross seven minutes later, and the Brazilian midfielder nodded home at the back post to hush the home crowd.
Early in the second half, Michail Antonio ran towards goal and Onana rushed out to stop him, giving the goalie a knock to the head. West Ham just missed the opportunity. Before play started up again, Onana was out for a few minutes getting medical care.
