Hammers record third consecutive home win against Red Devils to move above Ten Hag’s side into 13th spot
Jarrod Bowen scored a stoppage-time winner from the penalty spot as West Ham United recorded a 2-1 victory over Manchester United, piling more pressure on Erik ten Hag.
Casemiro had cancelled out Crysencio Summerville’s opener as the game burst into life late on, but Bowen’s penalty in the 92nd minute – awarded for Matthijs de Ligt‘s foul on substitute Danny Ings – settled the contest.
Alejandro Garnacho had rattled the crossbar as early as the second minute, while Diogo Dalot somehow blazed over when presented with an open goal half an hour later.
Summerville tapped home in the 74th minute to punish United’s wastefulness, but Casemiro nodded the equaliser from close range seven minutes later.
However, there was late drama when referee David Coote did not award a penalty to West Ham for a challenge by de Ligt on Ings. The VAR deemed there was sufficient contact on Ings’ lower leg and recommended an on-field review. The referee overturned his original decision and awarded a penalty.
Bowen’s cool penalty finish handed Julen Lopetegui‘s hosts a much-needed win and helped West Ham leapfrog their opponents into 13th spot with 11 points, the same tally as the 14th-placed Red Devils.
