West Ham United's 2-1 win over Manchester United on Sunday has turned up the heat on United's manager, Erik ten Hag. Despite dominating the game, United's lack of ruthlessness cost them dearly, and they suffered their fourth league defeat in nine games. This latest loss has sparked intense speculation about ten Hag's future and how long he will be given to turn things around.
The game was a thrilling encounter, with United creating several chances in the first half but failing to capitalize on their dominance. West Ham punished them with a late penalty kick, awarded after a VAR intervention for a foul on Danny Ings by Matthijs de Ligt. Jarrod Bowen scored the resulting penalty, securing West Ham's victory and moving them above United in the table.
Meanwhile, Chelsea's Cole Palmer inspired his team to a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United, showcasing his impressive skills and cementing his place in the Chelsea squad. In another match, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, who secured their first win of the season. The Premier League table is now shaping up to be highly competitive, with Liverpool having the chance to reclaim the top spot with a win over Arsenal later on Sunday.
