Manchester United 1-1 West Ham

Dalot (58′)      Magassa (83′)

Soungoutou Magassa’s first West Ham goal secured his side a valuable point against a blunt Manchester United side, who themselves move to 8th in the Premier League table.

The home side went closest in a drab first half. Bruno Fernandes’ half-volley skimmed the post on the half-hour mark after an ambitious Matheus Cunha effort.

They eventually took the lead in the 58th minute thanks to Diogo Dalot. Casemiro’s deflected shot landed at the feet of the Portuguese fullback. He slotted past Alphonse Areola from 10 yards after being left unmarked in the West Ham box.

The goal looked set to propel Rubin Amorim’s side into the top four, as they aimed to back up their away victory at Crystal Palace a few days earlier.

The visitors, however, forced their way back into the game in the final ten minutes through Magassa. Jarrod Bowen’s flick from a corner was cleared off the line by Noussair Mazraoui. But the ball broke for Magassa, who rolled a composed finish past the stranded Senne Lammens.

Fernandes nearly secured the victory in injury time, after latching onto Alphonse Areola’s save, he blazed over. The draw was greeted by a chorus of boos from the home faithful, who remained in 8th spot in the Premier League table.

West Ham’s resurgence under Nuno Espirito Santo continues. The draw means the Hammers are unbeaten in three of their last four league matches, and could move out of the relegation zone with a victory over Brighton this weekend.
