West Ham United welcomed Manchester United at the London Stadium earlier today as they looked to secure a victory at home in the Premier League. The Hammers made a slow start to the game and were fortunate to get into the half-time break with a goalless scoreline.
Crysencio Summerville broke the deadlock with a good finish in the 74th minute. However, Casemiro equalised for the visitors just seven minutes later with a good header before the Hammers took the lead once again in injury-time thanks to Jarrod Bowen’s successful penalty. The contest finished with West Ham earning a hard-fought 2-1 win in front of their home supporters.
Let’s take a look at how each West Ham United player fared during the clash against the Red Devils.

Mavropanos kept things solid at the back in the first half but was replaced at the half-time break.
CB: Max Kilman – 6.5/10
He put his foot through the ball when he could but didn’t do enough to keep a clean sheet.
