Premier League: Manchester United vs West Ham

Premier League: A goal from Rashford helps Manchester United defeat West Ham to keep winning.

PREMIER LEAGUE - All is well for Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag's men won on their lawn against West Ham (1-0) this Sunday, as part of the 14th day.

A headed goal from Marcus Rashford was enough to keep the Red Devils happy. Cristiano Ronaldo started the game.

The Mancunian club is three points behind Tottenham, 3rd, with one game less.

Up until the very end, Manchester United played well. On the fourteenth day of the Premier League, the Red Devils defeated West Ham this past Sunday afternoon by the slimmest of margins (1-0). The 38th-minute goal by Marcus Rashford at Old Trafford was plenty to satisfy the crowd. Erik ten Hag's team, who having played one fewer game than the Hammers, move up to fifth position in the English championship standings.

Since Wayne Rooney, Manchester United has been waiting for this. No other Red Devil had attained the symbolic threshold of 100 goals since 2009. As of right now, Marcus Rashford is the club's 22nd player to reach that milestone. The English striker expertly controlled a cross from Christian Eriksen and used his head to deflect the ball into the goal (38th, 1-0).

DE GEA, a hero of Manchukuo

The center forward, who has now scored four goals in the Premier League this season, has previously used his head to try to identify the issue, but this time he mistook Lukasz Fabianski for the culprit. The Polish goalkeeper, who was replaced by Alphonse Areola at halftime, had already proven to be unbeatable in front of Cristiano Ronaldo on the previous play (15th). The Portuguese offered his services to the group. If he labored in front, only one of his six attempts at framing was successful.

Manchester United did require two heroes in this match. David de Gea is the second one without a doubt. The Spanish goalkeeper, who already knows he won't be attending the World Cup in Qatar, made several excellent saves after Saad Benrahma's initial attempt to catch the ball was not very hazardous but on aim (69th). Since West Ham didn't do anything for the majority of the game, the final 20 minutes were unquestionably in their favor.

MAGUIRE SAVED HIS FAMILY AS WELL.

Michail Antonio greatly helped his squad, who have only launched three attacks in the top division this season, by entering the match (eleven goals scored). The Jamaican forward caused de Gea to knock on his right effort in the 82nd minute before Kurt Zouma copied him with a header (83rd). Declan Rice then forced the Spanish goalkeeper to make another great intervention on his thunderous long shot (90th + 3), only seconds before this match ended.

Prior to it, Harry Maguire, who had just taken over for Raphael Varane and had played admirably during this match, had stepped in as his goalkeeper after Jarrod Bowen (90th + 3) made a costly error. The Red Devils were completely relieved, and they could have taken up residence permanently if Fred hadn't discovered the post with a header (86th).

For Manchester United, the fundamentals have therefore been safeguarded. The three points that enable him to clearly see the future, with this being his fifth straight game without losing in the elite (three wins, two draws). The Red Devils will have a chance to keep up their momentum on the lawn of Aston Villa on Sunday at 3 p.m.
