Match report

A pulsating 90 minutes of action at the London Stadium on Sunday evening ultimately culminated in West Ham United putting Manchester United to the sword by a goal to nil.

The two sides went toe-to-toe a short time ago, relegation-threatened West Ham aware than an eventual victory would mark a massive step towards safety.

Visitors Man United, on the other hand, were continuing to look over their shoulder, after Liverpool closed to within a point of the top-4 courtesy of a sixth victory on the spin on Saturday.

And, when all was said and done, it was the former who held their nerve.

A solitary goal proved all she wrote in east London, as Said Benrahma’s tame effort inside the half-hour mark somehow made its way beyond the flailing David de Gea:

West Ham, in turn, have climbed a full seven points clear of the bottom three, whilst Manchester United remain just a point clear of the top-4 chasing pack, albeit whilst in possession of a game in hand.
