There were early signs of a dismal night for David de Gea at the London Stadium, with the Manchester United goalkeeper once again lacking quality on the ball from the off.
It took just four minutes for the 32-year-old to misplace his first pass, attempting to break West Ham's press with a penetrative ball into Wout Weghorst.
Declan Rice covered every blade of grass on the night and he was on call to intercept De Gea's pass, driving into the United box.
Weghorst, whose effort can never be faulted, hunted down the midfielder and made a brilliant tackle to spare his goalkeeper's blushes.
