EYES ON THE PRIZE
That’s all from us tonight, folks.
Thank you for keeping up with our live coverage of Man Utd vs West Ham in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
The Hammers came out 1-0 winners on the night and will face Man City at the Olympic Stadium in round four, with some other tasty fixtures in the draw including Arsenal vs Leeds and Chelsea vs Southampton.
Disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but he’ll be quickly turning his attention to the Premier League as his side take on Aston Villa at Old Trafford on Saturday.
West Ham face Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday, but fans will already be looking forward to welcoming Rapid Wien to east London for their first home Europa League game of the season next Thursday.
Here’s the rest of the draw for round four after tonight’s fixtures. Goodnight from us.
CAPTAIN FANTASTIC
Hammers skipper Mark Noble could barely contain his delight at the final whistle to have put things right after his penalty miss on Sunday and was candid in his interview with Sky Sports post-match.
“Obviously the last couple of days have been a bit tough, but what do you do? You know, you put your boots back on and you come out and play.
“I thought the players tonight were fantastic. You’re going to get knocked while you’re a football player, I’m old enough now to realise that. I’ve missed penalties in the past.
“At the end of the day, you’ve got to be brave enough to step up and take responsibility and I missed.
“But tonight, I’ve come out here at Old Trafford, one of the greatest places in the world to play and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.”
SLOW BURNERS
Solskjaer spoke to Sky Sports after the game and claims that the team’s slow start and West Ham’s early goal was the main reason for their disappointing result.
“Poor start, slow start again and that needs addressing. We started slowly and they got the goal.
“After that I thought we played well for long periods. We gave it a good go. Stats don’t mean anything, but when you’ve got 27 shots, you know that the boys have given it a good go.
“We didn’t create big chances, but we built pressure but sometimes that pressure doesn’t come to anything.”
SHOOT BUT DON’T SCORE
Man Utd had 27 shots on goal but only 6 on target, creating only one clear cut chance despite having 61% of the possession.
A frustrating night for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who had entrusted his squad players to get the job done and was ultimately let down.
The home side looked far brighter and more dangerous with Mason Greenwood and Bruno Fernandes on the pitch, with Anthony Martial largely absent.
Solskjaer will be counting down the days until Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani are fit enough to return to his matchday squad.
UNITED VS CITY
It’s United vs City… West Ham United, that is.
West Ham will take on Man City at the Olympic Stadium in what is set to be a difficult tie for the Hammers, but they’ve shown tonight they’re not afraid of anyone.
Man Utd knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the third round for the first time since 2018 when they were beaten on penalties by Derby.
West Ham got their revenge against the Old Trafford club tonight and progress to the next round.
Delight for the David Moyes, but real disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who will consider this a missed opportunity to potential win his first trophy at the club.

Stick around to find out who they’ll face in the final 16…
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!!!
THAT’S IT! WEST HAM HAVE DONE IT!
THEY’VE GOT REVENGE FOR THEIR DEFEAT ON SUNDAY AND PUT MAN UTD OUT IN THE THIRD ROUND OF THE CARABAO CUP
FULL-TIME: MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
90+2 – Henderson comes up for a corner and it’s everyone in the West Ham half.
The goalkeeper thinks he’s a midfielder for a moment and tries to spray the ball forward to Van de Beek but it goes way over his head.
That could be it…
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
90 – Four minutes added on here. West Ham looking to strangle the game now but Man Utd won’t give them a moment’s piece.
The Old Trafford crowd get behind their side for one last big push at the end.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
88 – CLOSE AGAIN! Bowen once again finds himself closing in on goal and has a shot at Henderson’s near post but the goalkeeper does really well to keep it out again.
West Ham should be out of sight from those chances in the last couple of minutes.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
87 – CLOSE! Jarrow Bowen and Mark Noble are two on one and Bowen squares it wide for Noble who somehow manages to hit it straight at Henderson.
West Ham should have put the game to bed by now.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
85 – CLOSE! Yarmolenko HAS to score. He’s six yards out with a practically open goal and cannons the ball off the post.
He can’t believe it, the crowd can’t believe it. That would’ve been curtains for Man Utd.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
84 – Another Man Utd counter attack from deep as Elanga breaks away but he’s fouled cleverly by Kral before he can really break free.
The Slovakian has had a solid night in midfield, deputising very well for Declan Rice.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
81 – Greenwood gets the ball on the edge of the box and cuts in on his left foot but by standards it’s poor and goes well wide of the goal.
Man Utd running out of time here and the crowd are getting more and more nervous.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
79 – West Ham are causing Man Utd all sorts of problems on the counter-attack and breakaway after a Man Utd chance but a superb tackle from Bruno Fernandes quickly snuffs it out.
He then puts Greenwood in on the right flank who bamboozles Johnson to get into the box and gets a shot off but it’s well saved by Areola.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
76 – Elanga and Sancho combine on the left wing and it’s the directness of Sancho that wins the hosts a corner.
It’s taken short by Fernandes and comes to nothing, to the frustration of the home fans.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
74 – Man Utd instantly look to have more attacking threat with Bruno Fernandes on the pitch, but with only fifteen minutes to go there’s not long left to turn this around.
Just one goal for the home side and this goes to penalties.
MAN UTD SUBSTITUTIONS
72 – It’s a very attacking change from the hosts and not a minute too soon. One player that Man Utd fans are very excited about for the future and one player they worship in the here and now.
OFF: Alex Telles, Jesse Lingard.
ON: Anthony Elanga, Bruno Fernandes.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
71 – Lingard does well to break away at speed on the left and floats one into the box.
It goes above everyone but lands to Diogo Dalot, who tries to hit it back across goal but it goes out for a corner.
Dalot takes the corner, but Bailly heads it well over.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
69 – BLOCK! Man Utd break away with Sancho and Lingard not for the first time tonight and Lingard finds himself in a shooting position outside the box.
He looks to have struck it very sweetly but it’s well blocked and West Ham breathe a sigh of relief.
WEST HAM SUBSTITUTIONS
68 – Two attacking changes from David Moyes, who isn’t happy to just sit back and let the home side attack them.
OFF: Arthur Masuaku, Manuel Lanzini.
ON: Nikola Vlasic, Pablo Fornals.
MAN UTD 0-1 WEST HAM
66 – Telles and Lingard combine well on the left but Kral does well to break up the move again.
West Ham fans are angry that Manuel Lanzini is down injured but the home team refuse to put the ball out.
There was a coming together with Matic who looks to have stood on the Argentine’s ankle accidentally.
Pablo Fornals is getting ready to come on.
