Man Utd Stumble Again: Late Bowen Winner Sinks Red Devils

Man Utd's struggles continued on Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham. It was a frustrating performance for Erik ten Hag's side, who were undone by a late winner from Jarrod Bowen.

It looked like the Red Devils were heading for a draw after a frustrating 90 minutes. They were looking flat, lacking the kind of energy and intensity we’ve come to expect from them. It was a real head-scratcher, especially after their impressive 3-1 victory against Arsenal just a few days earlier.

The first half was a pretty boring affair, with both teams struggling to create any real chances. The only real highlight was a beautiful goal from Marcus Rashford, who fired a curling shot past Lukasz Fabianski in the 54th minute. It was a deserved lead for United, but they couldn't hold onto it.

West Ham were not to be denied. Their fight and determination ultimately earned them the points. They were the more aggressive team in the second half, and their pressure finally paid off. After some intense pressure, Said Benrahma was able to level the score in the 78th minute.

The game went into the final stages, and it looked like both teams were content with a draw. But, in a moment of brilliance, Jarrod Bowen found the back of the net in the 90th minute with a stunning volley. It was a cruel blow for Man Utd, who had been the better team for large parts of the game.

It was a real disappointment for the Red Devils. It's clear that they need to find a way to be more consistent if they want to achieve their goals this season.

This loss will no doubt be a source of frustration for Erik ten Hag. He'll be looking for a reaction from his players in their next game. They've got a lot of work to do if they want to challenge for the title. But, hey, this is the Premier League - it’s never easy, and you have to be ready for anything!
