WEST HAM dominated this game against Sheffield United from start to finish, with the outstanding Jesse Lingard pulling the strings all night.

The shame was that the Manchester United loanee did not cap his fine performance with a much deserved goal, though he certainly fashioned a few chances.

It looked as though the Hammers were set to go ahead as early as the third minute, when Craig Dawson was brought down by Enda Stevens, with a penalty awarded by referee Simon Hooper.
