Benrahma Gets 7.5 | West Ham United Players Rated In Disappointing Loss Vs Manchester United | OneFootball

West Ham United entertained Manchester United at the London Stadium earlier today as they looked to pick up a win at home without their star striker, Michail Antonio, who was suspended for this clash. The Hammers made a bright start to the game and took the lead at the half-hour mark courtesy of Said Benrahma’s deflected goal. However, Cristiano Ronaldo netted the equalizer for Man United just five minutes later with a calm finish from point-blank range as both teams went into the half-time break with a 1-1 scoreline.

The two sides canceled each other out for most of the second half. However, Jesse Lingard came off the bench to net the winning goal for Man United with a great strike in the 89th minute. West Ham were afforded a late lifeline as they received a penalty which Mark Noble failed to convert as the contest finished with the Hammers suffering a 2-1 loss at home.

Let’s take a look at how each West Ham player performed during the match against the Red Devils.

GK: Łukasz Fabiański – 7.5/10

The Polish keeper made a number of good saves to keep his team in the game. However, he will be disappointed for not doing a better job saving Ronaldo’s initial shot in lead-up to Man United’s equalizer.

RB: Vladimír Coufal – 6/10

Coufal cleared his lines when needed and engineered one key chance in the Red Devils half.

CB: Kurt Zouma – 7/10

CB: Angelo Ogbonna – 6/10

Ogbonna was strong in the air but struggled to earn the ball back for his side. He won’t be pleased after conceding two goals today.
