What a rollercoaster! What a match, and what a terrible decision made by West Ham coach David Moyes!With only a few seconds left on the clock, and trailing by one to Manchester United, a former Red Devils tactician decided to pull off the very same stunt as Gareth Southgate in the EURO 2020 finals. And he failed, just like Southgate.Southgate’s rollercoaster takes England straight down to the groundMoyes brought in experienced Mark Noble to shoot a stoppage-time penalty, hoping it would be a wise choice to save them a point against United. But, as expected, Noble’s poor strike was easily denied by David De Gea, and the Red Devils celebrated a victory that keeps them at the top of the table with Liverpool.
It started ugly for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side after Varrane’s tragic first-half own goal. Soon after, Cristiano Ronaldo struck back and nailed it thanks to two consecutive shots, with Fabianski failing to stop the latter.The rest of the game seemed quite dull, at least until Jesse Lingard scored – what will eventually turn out to be – a winner, two minutes before the injury time.89’: Jesse Lingard makes it 2-194’: David De Gea saves a penaltyFT: West Ham 1-2 Manchester United.WHAT AN END TO THE GAME 😳 pic.twitter.com/IFmhyANnjK— B/R Football (@brfootball) September 19, 2021 He received the ball at the edge of the box and, after a few steps, placed it charmingly into the far corner. Just when we thought that’s all, the late drama was fueled after the referee’s call, following Luke Shaw’s handball. The Hammers were hoping for late salvation, but Moyes once again proved why he’d never be a top-class tactician.Moyes consolates his players after defeat (©Justin Setterfield/Getty Images)PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 5FridayNewcastle – Leeds 1-1 (1-1)/Saint-Maximin 44′ – Raphinha 13’/SaturdayWolverhampton – Brentford 0-2 (0-2)/Toney 28, Mbeumo 34/Burnley – Arsenal 0-1 (0-1)/Odegaard 30/Liverpool Crystal Palace 3-0 (1-0)/Mane 43, Salah 78, Keita 89/Man City – Southampton 0-0Norwich – Watford 1-3 (1-1)/Pukki 35 – Dennis 17, Sarr 63, 82/Aston Villa – Everton 3-0 (0-0)/Cash 66, Digne og 69, Bailey 75/SundayWest Ham – Man Utd 1-2 (1-1)/Benrahma 30, – Ronaldo 35, Lingard 88/Brighton – Leicester 2-1 (1-0)/Maupay og 35, Welbeck 50 – Vardy 61 /18:30: (5.20) Tottenham (3.60) Chelsea (1.80)
