West Ham's performance in the opening two minutes set the tone for this game. In the midst of the singing of the home fans, they used their more physical strength to launch a frantic rush on the Manchester United players.

However, Manchester United's players have seen a significant boost in morale and form due to their recent back-to-back victories. In fact, the vast majority of the Manchester United players who played this game were rested in the weekend against Norwich, and their physical condition was not too bad, so although they were a little passive on the field, they were not out of control.

However, in the face of the Hammers who are pressing like mad dogs, it is impossible for United to play a high-quality attack.

And Marcus Rashford is naturally the focus of West Ham players. In the FA Cup two months ago, the West Ham players, who had enough of Marcus Rashford's suffering, were very targeted in his defence.

The West Ham United players, who had paid enough tuition fees in that game, are now finally starting to enjoy the benefits.

In the first ten minutes of the game, Rashford did not get any chances to open the net, not even touching the ball. One time he was brought to the ground by a West Ham defender before he could get hold of the ball, and the other time he was surrounded by three West Ham defenders as soon as he got the ball.

Marcus Rashford was frozen, and United's attack was even more unopen.

On the contrary, West Ham United, who were playing at home, had frequent chances to shoot in the game, and finally took the lead in the 10th minute of the game.

West Ham United steal Manchester United in front, Cresswell passes, Lanzini anti-offside to the back of the Manchester United defence, the left side of the penalty area kicks in a cross, Blind is out of position, Sako sweeps into the bottom left corner from 15 yards.

In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United fell behind away from home, which can be called a nightmare start!

This is a situation that has rarely been encountered by Manchester United since Marcus Rashford's debut. For a while, Manchester United's players were a little confused.

………………

For this situation, Rashford has long been mentally prepared, because he remembers that Manchester United in his previous life was defeated by West Ham United in this game, and finally lost the initiative to fight for the fourth, and finally won the final round of the game, but still with a goal difference, was squeezed out of the Champions League by Manchester City, and was pressed by the city's rivals for the second time in the league with a goal difference.

Both of these experiences were very painful, one was lost on goal difference, and the other was blocked out of the Champions League on goal difference.

Now, despite the fact that he has changed the situation of Manchester United to a large extent, the wheels of history are still driving the United into danger under the influence of huge inertia - and if they lose this game, Leicester City can be crowned the new king of the Premier League.

Looking at the frenzied West Ham players and supporters, Rashford felt he had to strike back quickly or the Reds would still lose the game.

However, West Ham's morale was boosted after the goal, and they continued to press Manchester United on the pitch. The Manchester United players were a little distracted and more passive on the field because of the early goal, and Rashford looked a little isolated in the front, and the counter-attack plan was repeatedly postponed.

West Ham United, on the other hand, frequently create scoring opportunities.

………………

In the 18th minute of the game, West Ham United besieged Manchester United in front, Cresswell crossed the ball to the right corner of Manchester United's penalty area, and Valencia, who was about to clear the defense, slipped on the sole of his foot, allowing the West Ham United striker to get the ball in the corner of the penalty area.

Fortunately, Manchester United's defense in the middle is strong, and Sako has no chance to hit the goal with his feet. He opted to pass back to Noble on the edge of the arc in the middle of the box.

Noble quickly distributed the ball to the right of West Ham and right-back Antonio got the ball, but he stumbled a little under the defence of Anthony Martial, who followed the back of the defence, and could not get his feet up and cross in the first place.

However, he quickly adjusted his pace and took advantage of a turn to get past Anthony Martial before picking up a cross.

In the box, Blind lost the confrontation with Sacco, but he interfered with Sacco's goal-grabbing shot, turning the shot into a header.

Carroll crossed back in the scuffle and Payet's shot from the top of the box was saved by De Gea.

Two minutes later, West Ham were back in the game when Randolph picked up a return pass from his defender and then threw the ball in his hands.

The ball was quickly passed to Payet, and behind him, Smalling kept him from turning.

Payet then flicked the ball to nearby Lanzini, who sent a scalpel-like through ball through the United defence.

Because just now Manchester United's two central defenders went to target the opponent's core Payet, resulting in Carroll in an unguarded state. The West Ham striker turned to catch the ball and fired a one-on-one shot from the edge of the United box.

De Gea was bold, using his trademark sit-down leg extension to keep Carroll's low shot out of the way.

United escaped 2-0 down from 20 minutes into the game.

………………

West Ham's attack didn't stop there, on the contrary, it became sharper.

A minute later, West Ham were awarded a corner. Payet's corner went straight to the back post and Antonio slotted home from close range from a scuffle, but the referee ruled that the ball had already gone wide of the line after being blocked by Anthony Martial.

However, in the process, De Gea's weaknesses in defending high balls were exposed.

After being besieged by West Ham for more than 20 minutes, United finally won a counter-attacking chance. However, Rooney's hurried long-range shot almost kicked the ball off the opposite sideline, completely out of tune.

Immediately, two of West Ham's attacks were also on target: one was Lanzini who shot wide from distance, and the other was Payet who fired an anti-aircraft gun from inside the box.

Anthony Martial dribbled to the right and dribbled to the corner flag area, attracting three defenders before passing the ball into the corner of the box.

Valencia receives the ball and crosses with his feet. It's just that his pass is not Rashford in the middle, but Mata at the back post.

Mata obviously didn't have any upper hand with the opposing defender's tall defender, so he stealthily pushed Reid in front of him, so that the opponent could not clear the ball, allowing Rojo to get a chance to hit the goal with his feet on the perimeter.

However, the referee of the game, Mike Dean, was not blind this time, watched Mata's small movements carefully, and then stopped the game and gave Mata a foul. I want to talk about "The British Emperor" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
