"Ruben Amorim's side looked set to get back to winning ways at home after Diogo Dalot's first league goal at Old Trafford, but they could not hold out for the win. United sparked into life midway through the first half, with Bryan Mbeumo seeing a dipping curler tipped over by the backtracking Alphonse Areola. Joshua Zirkzee's instinctive flick was then cleared off the line by former Red Devil Aaron Wan-Bissaka, before Bruno Fernandes hit the post on the rebound."
"West Ham profited from a set-piece late on, with Magassa's composed finish hitting the net after Noussair Mazraoui had cleared Jarrod Bowen's flick-on off the line. Fernandes volleyed wide in the closing seconds after a poor clearance from the visitors, which ensured United missed the chance to move up to fifth, though they did leapfrog Liverpool to go eighth. West Ham, meanwhile, remain 18th, two points behind Leeds United above them."
Soungoutou Magassa scored his first goal for West Ham to earn a 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Diogo Dalot opened the scoring in the 58th minute after latching onto Casemiro's deflected shot. United had earlier chances including Bryan Mbeumo's dipping curler tipped over by Alphonse Areola, Joshua Zirkzee's flick cleared off the line, and Bruno Fernandes hitting the post. West Ham equalised from a late set-piece when Noussair Mazraoui cleared Jarrod Bowen's flick-on off the line and Magassa finished calmly. Fernandes volleyed wide in the closing seconds as United missed a chance to climb the table. Since Nuno Espirito Santo's first league game on September 29, only Aston Villa (nine) have won more points from losing positions than West Ham (eight). This was the 22nd time West Ham had conceded the opening goal away to United but the first time they avoided defeat.
