West Ham secured a crucial 1-0 win over Manchester United at home in the 35th round of the Premier League, pushing the “Red Devils” to the edge of losing their Champions League spot.
During the first half, Bruno Fernandes in the eighth minute, Marcus Rashford in the 18th, and Antonio in the 33rd minute had potential chances, but West Ham goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski proved to be a formidable obstacle. However, Said Benrahma seized one of West Ham’s two opportunities and scored a goal in the 27th minute.
In the second half, United was unable to create any significant goal-scoring opportunities, and West Ham had two goals disallowed, one due to a foul and the other due to offside.
Manchester United is currently fourth in the table with 63 points, only one point ahead of Liverpool, with one game in hand. West Ham, on the other hand, is in 15th place with 37 points, seven more than the relegation zone.
West Ham is set to face AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League semi-finals on May 11, followed by a visit to Brentford in the Premier League three days later. Meanwhile, United will host Wolverhampton in their next match.
This victory for West Ham puts pressure on Manchester United to perform in their upcoming fixtures as they risk losing their spot in the prestigious Champions League.
