West Ham's only goal was scored by Benrahma in the 27th minute. The striker dribbled past three MU players before firing a shot. The shot was neither too strong nor too difficult, but goalkeeper De Gea handled it clumsily, causing the ball to slowly roll into the net, much to the amazement of the fans in the stadium.

After conceding the goal, MU pushed up their formation to look for an equalizer, leaving West Ham with several gaps to exploit. However, the home team could not take advantage of the opportunity to score another goal in the first half.

In the second half, West Ham continuously put pressure on MU. David Moyes' team had another shot in De Gea's net in the 73rd minute but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

The match ended with a score of 1 - 0 in favor of the home team West Ham. The victory helped David Moyes' team to move 7 points clear of the "red light" group and almost successfully stay in the league.

Meanwhile, this defeat of MU has heated up the race for the top 4 of the Premier League again. This was the second consecutive loss of coach Erik ten Hag and his team and they are facing the risk of being kicked out of the Top 4 when they are only 1 point ahead of Liverpool and have played 1 less match.
