Manutd beat WestHam 1-0 at Old Trafford
Rashford scores at the death as Manchester United grab a late goal at the Theatre of Dreams to beat WestHam 1nil to go Fourth.
But the real action of the match came when Mason Greenwood saw a dangerous effort blocked by Aaron Cresswell, before Cristiano Ronaldo came inches away from nodding home Bruno Fernandes’ cross.
The ‘Hammers’ best chances came on the break, with Michail Antonio and Jarrod Bowen evading challenges from the midfield before being felled by stern challenges from the returning Harry Maguire. Neither side had been able to register a shot on target before HT.
Alphonse Areola was the first goalkeeper to be tested moments after the restart, as a fortunate deflection allowed Fred a huge chance, but the French shot-stopper was able to turn his effort round the post.
The ‘Red Devils’ had failed to score from a corner so far this season, and Raphaël Varane should've set that record straight on the hour mark, but his near post header drifted narrowly wide.
Ralf Rangnick’s substitutes combined to snatch all three points for the hosts.
Anthony Martial slotted into Edinson Cavani, who squared across the six-yard box to find Marcus Rashford for a tap-in.
The 24-year-old’s second goal in as many games sent the Stretford End into raptures, securing a crucial win for his side in the race for the top four.
With this result WestHam still remains with a win in their last fourteen league outings at Old Trafford.
