WEST HAM manager David Moyes accepted responsibility for the penalty miss that cost his side a point, after sending on substitute Mark Noble to take the spot kick.
A pulsating game between West Ham and Manchester United at the London Stadium reached a crescendo in the closing minutes, with what proved an exquisite winner from former West Ham loanee Jesse Lingard.
The home team though could have salvaged a point when Luke Shaw was judged to have handled an Andriy Yarmolenko cross, but the resulting penalty was tamely hit at Manchester United keeper David De Gea by Noble.
