West Ham 2 Man Utd 1: Jarrod Bowen’s late penalty after hugely controversial penalty inflicts more pressure on ten Hag


JARROD BOWEN piled the pressure on to Erik ten Hag as his late penalty condemned Manchester United to defeat against West Ham.

Man Utd were looking to register back-to-back wins for the first time this season, but were made to rue missed chances once again before VAR intervened to condemn them to defeat.

Crysencio Summerville’s first goal for the Hammers since joining the club in the summer looked like set to ruin the Red Devils’ day.

But moments later Casemiro finally headed a goal into the West Ham net to level the score.

However, the result was decided in injury time as Bowen slotted home a penalty after Matthijs de Ligt was controversially deemed to have fouled Danny Ings in the area.

Ten Hag’s side had miraculously managed to not go into half-time ahead.

They had struck the woodwork twice and wasted four big chances, with Diogo Dalot’s missed chance to score into open goal the pick of the bunch in terms of showing how poor they had been.

Julen Lopetegui rang the changes for the home side at half-time with three changes.

It managed to spark them into a much-improved display, with the flow of the game no longer one-way traffic in Man Utd’s favour.
