How the game unfold

As the early summer sun beat down on the Old Trafford pitch, the hosts looked the more dangerous in the opening exchanges. Bruno Fernandes had a couple of sighters fly over the bar, while Amad Diallo forced a not entirely convincing parry from Alphonse Areola after cutting inside from the right.

West Ham seemed fairly well organised through the middle without the ball, but lacked open play creativity with it. It made sense then, that a decent chance for them came from James Ward-Prowse’s free-kick onto the head of Maximilian Kilman, missing the target.

But as United’s early intensity waned, it opened the door for West Ham to take the lead. The move developed down the Hammers’ left, with Mohammed Kudus driving into a dangerous position and firing a low ball across the face of goal that Soucek was in the right place at the right time to meet.

After West Ham had gone ahead, Ramsus Hojlund missed the target with a couple of half chances.

One the result of Mason Mount’s long pass over the top that he was just unable to direct sufficiently goalward as Areola came out to meet him.

West Ham came charging out after half-time and almost landed a quick second, as Kudus escaped the attentions of Fernandes to get into the box. The attempted finish from Ward-Prowse, however, was weak and was easily collected by the grateful Altay Bayindir, standing in for usual number one goalkeeper Andre Onana.
