West Ham and Manchester United who are currently facing challenges, sitting in 16th and 13th position in the points table, respectively, squared off against each other on Sunday.

West Ham, known for bringing in notable signings this season, was eager to secure their first victory in four matches against a United side who were also looking to improve. Meanwhile, Manchester United aimed to reignite their trophy ambitions by achieving consecutive victories for the first time this season, especially after experiencing setbacks in their last two matches.

Dalot's embarrassing miss of the Season 

Diogo Dalot had an embarrassing moment during the match as he missed an open goal opportunity.

In the 42nd minute, Dalot skillfully received a long ball from Bruno Fernandes, manoeuvred past the West Ham goalkeeper, and found himself in an excellent position to score with the net wide open. Unfortunately, he misjudged the shot, sending the ball over the crossbar, which prevented United from taking an early lead.
