Man Utd 1-0 West Ham

33. The game is starting to flow now with both teams looking to get forward whenever the chance presents itself.

It seems important now that Erik ten Hag’s side can keep a clean sheet until half time.

Hojlund looks to play the ball through to Shaw but it runs straight through to Areola.

Five goals in his last six appearances for the in form Hojlund now – whose early struggles now seem a long time ago.

The birthday boy owes a drink to Casemiro who showed great urgency to win the ball in the middle of the park and give Hojlund the chance.

What a finish it was though – as he drifted past Aguerd before thumping a shot past Areola. The Dane is coming of age in every sense.

31. Kudus picks the ball up on the left and immediately spots Bowen in space.

He switches play with a pass to the West Ham playmaker.

Bowen clips a cross into the box, which is met by the head of Kudus, but it is a simple save for Onana.

29. Zouma spent a lot of time down on the floor in the box then.

The replay showed that Hojlund seemed to catch him in the face with a stray hand.

Not sure that it was enough to send the player to the ground for as long as it did.

27. Johnson tries his luck from outside the box.

He catches the ball well but it is straight at Onana.

Despite this, the keeper weirdly punches the ball out when it seemed far easier to catch the ball.

25. That early goal will a stern test of this West Ham team.

Areola had little to do before that goal.

The visitors need to find a way back into this game now.
