West Ham Stuns Manchester United 2-0 in London Derby

Published on September 22, 2019, at 20:47:01.

West Ham United secured a 2-0 win over Manchester United in a London derby match on September 22, 2019, at the London Stadium.

The win marked a significant upset for Manchester United, who were seeking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Astana in the Europa League.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made several changes to his starting lineup, including the inclusion of David de Gea, Harry Maguire, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

However, the changes failed to yield the desired results as West Ham took the lead in the 44th minute through a goal from Andriy Yarmolenko.

Manchester United pushed hard to equalize, but West Ham's defense held firm, and the visitors were left to rue their missed chances.

The win marked a significant boost for West Ham's Europa League qualification hopes, while Manchester United slipped to eighth place in the Premier League table.

West Ham's Aaron Cresswell sealed the win in the 84th minute with a well-placed shot that beat Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea.

The loss marked a disappointing end to a tumultuous week for Manchester United, who had been seeking to bounce back from a series of poor results.

Manchester United's next match is against Leicester City in the Premier League, while West Ham faces a crucial Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar.
