The pivotal moment in the game came midway through the first half when a tame effort from Said Behrama slipped through David De Gea’s hands and nestled itself into the back of the net.

The visitors were unable to break the Hammers defenses and succumbed to a second consecutive Premier League defeat, which is a major blow for their top 4 ambitions.

As things stand the Red Devils trail Newcastle United by two points and are only a point in front of fifth-place Liverpool with the Merseyside team having played a game more.

On the other hand, the win gives the home side a huge boost in their battle for survival. David Moyes men are now 7 points ahead of the danger zone with superior goal difference to all the teams below them. There 3 rounds left in the Premier League season.
