LONDON: Erik Ten Hag’s position is back in danger after Manchester United lost 1-2 to West Ham in the English Premier League action at the London Stadium just now.
Jarrod Bowen’s controversial penalty in the 92nd minute helped Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham seal a meaningful win and hand United their fourth defeat in nine games which has seen them languish in 14th place in the league.
In fact, the defeat proved that the London Stadium was clearly a bad place for Ten Hag, who lost for the third time in a row there during his career as the Red Devils manager.
Regardless, United have themselves to blame for the defeat after several chances in the first half failed to be converted.
It included Alejandro Garnacho’s effort hitting the crossbar as early as the second minute while Diogo Dalot failed to put the ball into the gaping net in the 32nd minute.
However, West Ham rose to improve the game in the second half which saw them take the lead thanks to Crycensio Summerville’s goal in the 74th minute.
Casemiro however equalized with a header in the 81st minute but Bowen’s controversial penalty in stoppage time saw United fall.
