West Ham 1-0 Manchester United
West Ham took the lead thanks to Said Benrahma's long shot. According to BBC Sports, David de Gea has now made four errors leading to goals in all competitions this season after a howl against West Ham, the greatest Premier League player, Hugo Lloris. In the first half, a decisive situation happened to West Ham when the ball touched Lindelof's hand but VAR did not allow the penalty to be awarded.
Antonio thought he scored early in the second half but clearly fouled De Gea so that was quickly ruled out. After this incident, Manchester United knew they needed to do something against West Ham, something they hadn't done in any away Premier League game since the World Cup. Manchester United have now lost their second game in a row, losing to Brighton by the same scoreline as West Ham.
Man Utd has now dropped important points in the race for the top 4. Despite playing less than one game, Manchester United is only 1 point ahead of Liverpool. However, West Ham moved up to 15th place on the table after this win.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Luis Díaz embrace after a 6-1 Premier League win over Leeds United on April 17, 2023
Liverpool continued to end the season strong with a sixth straight win as they overcame Brentford on Saturday night.
Mohamed Salah scored the only goal to help the Reds win 1-0. Liverpool will now look to feed their slim hopes of qualifying for the Champions League when they travel to struggling Leicester City next Monday.
And here we are waiting for the changes that Jurgen Klopp can make in the next move of the team.
Same in the back? With more than nine days from the Brentford win to the visit to the King Power Stadium, it may not be a problem to bench Jurgen Klopp with tired players for the time being.
So much change in defence is unlikely, although Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas have been rotated at left-back recently, although the first is clearly the first choice. The same goes for Trent Alexander-Arnold in the new right-back role. Joe Gomez and James Milner are more mainstream alternatives with Calvin Ramsay absent from the season.
Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are once again the preferred centre-back duo, followed by Joel Matip and Gomez. Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams have each benched just once in the Premier League since mid-February.
Alisson Becker continues to be number one between two strokes ahead of Caomhin Kelleher and Adrian.
Midfielder headache
There isn't much room for major midfield changes due to the growing list of absentees.
Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are sidelined for the rest of the season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hasn't featured in eight games, Naby Keita has been sidelined since being substituted at half-time at Crystal Palace over two months ago while Arthur Melo is still out. play in the Premier League. These last three will all leave the club this summer. With Jordan Henderson not fully fit, Klopp only used two midfielders that had become established before Brentford, Fabinho and Curtis Jones, with Cody Gakpo returning to the engine room.
Henderson, who appeared late on the bench over the weekend, is expected to be 100% recovered next Monday, with Milner and Harvey Elliott the only other alternatives.
Diaz .'s Dilemma
Arguably the biggest call for Klopp is whether to bring Luis Diaz back into the starting line-up after leaving him on the bench on Saturday after starting consecutive games after he back after almost six months of absence.
Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are other alternatives on the left, and could also join Roberto Firmino and Gakpo in fine form to compete for a spot in the midfield.
Mohamed Salah will be hoping to continue his strong campaign finish on the right flank, with Elliott and Fabio Carvalho the other attacking options available.
