West Ham defeated by Man Utd 1-0, with Rashford’s goal moving the Red Devils up to fifth.

In the 38th minute, academy product Rashford headed a towering ball over the West Ham defense to score, becoming the 22nd player to achieve 100 goals for the club on the day Manchester United’s record of having a homegrown player in every matchday squad reached 85 years.

While West Ham was a danger throughout, they crucially missed the decisive last pass or finish. Diogo Dalot’s superb back-post defense, David de Gea’s outstanding saves to save Kurt Zouma and Declan Rice, and Jarrod Bowen’s last-second misfire ensured the Hammers’ late charge was ineffective.

West Ham manager David Moyes suffered another another setback at Old Trafford, where he has lost all 16 of his matches as a Premier League manager. The Hammers lost the opportunity to pass Liverpool and move into the top half of the standings.

With this tenacious win, Manchester United’s undefeated streak under Erik ten Hag was extended to eight games across all competitions, moving them up to fifth place in the Premier League, one point behind the top four.
