West Ham 1-2 Manchester United: Lingard haunts Hammers & De Gea saves penalty to seal comeback : Rashtra News
The
England
international,
superb
on
loan
at
the
Hammers
last
season,
curled
in
an
89th-minute
winner
after
Cristiano
Ronaldo
had
earlier
cancelled
out
Said
Benrahma’s
deflected
opener.
West
Ham
had
the
chance
to
equalise
in
the
fourth
minute
of
injury
time,
but
David
de
Gea
saved
a
penalty
from
Mark
Noble,
who
had
come
off
the
bench
to
take
the
spot-kick.

The
visitors
started
positively
but
the
best
early
chance
fell
to
Jarrod
Bowen,
his
shot
blocked
by
Raphael
Varane
after
Harry
Maguire
lost
possession
on
the
edge
of
his
own
box.
Buoyed
by
that
chance,
the
Hammers
began
to
play
with
more
purpose
and
Bowen
was
denied
by
the
foot
of
David
de
Gea
after
Varane
failed
to
clear.

Lukasz
Fabianski
got
a
fingertip
to
a
Bruno
Fernandes
strike
that
came
back
off
the
right-hand
post,
and
West
Ham
had
their
lead
just
three
minutes
later,
Benrahma’s
attempt
from
the
edge
of
the
area
taking
a
huge
deflection
off
Varane
and
leaving
De
Gea
with
no
chance.
Ronaldo
wasted
a
good
chance
with
a
poor
touch
after
what
had
been
a
frustrating
half
for
the
Portugal
captain,
but
he
was
on
hand
to
tap
in
an
equaliser
after
Fabianski
had
kept
out
his
first
attempt
from
Fernandes’ cross.

–
West
Ham’s
London
Stadium
is
the
66th
different
stadium
that
Cristiano
Ronaldo
has
scored
at
in
matches
played
in
Europe’s
big
five
leagues,
scoring
at
more
unique
venues
than
any
other
player
since
his
Man
Utd
debut
in
2003-04,
ahead
of
Zlatan
Ibrahimovic
(64).

Ronaldo
spurned
a
golden
chance
for
a
second
barely
a
minute
after
the
restart,
Fabianski
blocking
at
his
feet
after
the
Hammers
had
gifted
the
ball
to
Fernandes,
as
United
built
some
more
sustained
pressure
without
creating
many
further
openings.
Ronaldo
had
Vladimir
Coufal
worried
when
he
skipped
beyond
him
and
went
down
after
a
clash
of
legs,
but
referee
Martin
Atkinson
was
unmoved
and
there
was
no
intervention
from
VAR.
Substitute
Lingard
then
produced
a
moment
of
magic,
cutting
in
from
the
left
and
curling
a
spectacular
effort
well
beyond
Fabianski’s
reach
to
leave
the
home
fans
stunned.
Then
came
the
final-minute
drama.
Ronaldo
was
floored
by
Kurt
Zouma
but
again
no
penalty
was
given,
and
West
Ham
were
given
a
spot-kick
of
their
own
as
they
attacked
at
the
other
end,
Luke
Shaw
penalised
for
handball
after
Atkinson
checked
the
monitor.
Noble
was
brought
on
and
promptly
took
responsibility
with
the
kick,
only
for
De
Gea
to
fly
to
his
left
and
claw
the
ball
away.
