West Ham United scored the first goal against Manchester United through Said Benrahma in the 30th minute, but Cristiano Ronaldo restored parity for the hosts five minutes later.

David De Gea shines in Manchester United win over West Ham
Earlier, YEN.com.gh had reported how Cristiano Ronaldo made the headlines again after scoring his fourth goal in three matches for Man United as they edged West Ham at the London Stadium by 2-1 in an entertaining Premier League game.
The Red Devils started the game brightly but failed to penetrate the water-tight Hammers defence in the opening minutes of the game.
David Moyes' side gave a good account of themselves after creating the better chances in the game with David de Gea called into action to make an important save from Jarrod Bowen.
However, the Londoners were rewarded for their persistence as Said Benrahma took a heavy deflection off Raphael Varane to send De Gea the wrong way.
There was high drama towards the end of the game as Luke Shaw's hand got in the way of Andriy Yarmolenko's as a penalty was given by the referee.
Mark Noble was brought to take the spot-kick in the 94th minute but De Gea made a match-winning save to give United the victory.
