WEST HAM 2-1 MANCHESTER UNITED
by Paul Donovan
at London Stadium

THIS was a game that Manchester United lost, rather than West Ham won, at the London Stadium.

The visitors should have been out of sight by half time, with three clear-cut chances spurned.

The first came two minutes in when Bruno Fernandes set up Alejandro Garnachov centrally placed on the edge of the area. But the resulting shot bounced back off the bar.
