Controversial Jarrod Bowen penalty allows Hammers to add to Man United woes

Erik ten Hag was left furious after a controversial late penalty saw West Ham inflict a damaging 2-1 defeat on Manchester United.

Jarrod Bowen scored the winner from the spot two minutes into stoppage time after a long VAR review for Matthijs de Ligt's challenge on Danny Ings.

Referee David Coote took his time in studying the pitchside monitor before awarding the spot-kick, to the horror of United's underfire manager and his players.

In a curious match which will crank up the noise surrounding Ten Hag's future, United dominated a first half in which West Ham were terrible.

Yet Crysencio Summerville climbed off the bench at half-time to fire the Hammers into an unlikely lead.

That was quickly cancelled out by Casemiro's header, but VAR's dramatic late intervention cost United, and possibly Ten Hag, dearly.

United almost took the lead in less than two minutes when Christian Eriksen fed Bruno Fernandes, who squared the ball for Alejandro Garnacho to hit a first-time shot from the edge of the area which crashed against the crossbar.

Fernandes should have opened the scoring when he was left unmarked in the area to meet a lofted ball from Casemiro, but he sent his header over the top.

West Ham were leaving huge gaps at the back, but the next United opportunity provided a comical miss from Diogo Dalot.

Fernandes lifted the ball over the top and Dalot knocked it to the side of Lukasz Fabianski before bearing down on an empty goal, only to somehow blaze wide from 12 yards.

There was still time for Hammers midfielder Edson Alvarez to nod a corner against his own crossbar and Fabianski to claw out Casemiro's free header before a first half of breathtaking ineptitude, chiefly - but not solely - from the hosts, came to an end.
