POINTS SHARED AS QUESTIONS REMAIN AT OLD TRAFFORD
Manchester United and West Ham United shared the points at Old Trafford on Thursday evening in a 1-1 draw to round off the Premier League mid-week fixtures.
Ruben Amorim’s side could have gone up to fifth with a win, and they dominated possession and territory for much of the evening, without creating too many clear-cut opportunities.
It was the home side who took the lead in an improved second half when Diogo Dalot controlled a deflected Casemiro shot in the box and turned the ball home for only his fourth goal for the club and his first at Old Trafford.
But West Ham, for whom Jarrod Bowen worked tirelessly once again, equalised late on when Player of the Match Soungoutou Magassa slotted home after Bowen’s header had been cleared off the line.
The performance and result will be frustrating for the home side, but the point offers encouragement to Nuno Espirito Santo’s visitors, who have enjoyed an upturn in form since the Portuguese coach took charge.
