At 22:00 Beijing time on January 16, the 22nd round of the Premier League, West Ham United played Leeds United at home. In the first half, Harrison scored twice, Bowen made a contribution, and in the second half, Fornals equalized and Harrison completed a hat-trick. In the end, Leeds United beat West Ham United 3-2, ushering in two consecutive league wins.
A week ago, the two teams met once in the third round of the FA Cup, when West Ham United, who played at home, won 2-0 against Z united and successfully advanced. In this battle, the old local, the old opponent, Bielsa once again fought with Moyes and completed his revenge.
In the 10th minute, Leeds United's first wave of attack was blocked, Fochaw got the ball back and Jack Harrison hit the ball into the far corner! 1-0, Leeds United anti-guest-oriented!
In the 34th minute, Cresville drove a corner kick from the left and Bowen nodded his head and gavel in the middle of the penalty area! 1-1, West Ham United equalised!
In the 37th minute, Rafinha's left corner kick was hoisted into the penalty area, Erin's header sailed across the net, and Harrison at the back post crashed into the net! Leeds United lead 2-01!
In the 52nd minute, Antonio assisted, Fornals burst into the box, and Neche dodged the defensive low shot through the net! 2-2, the two teams are back on the same running line!
In the 59th minute, Leeds United counter-attacked quickly, Rafinha sent a diagonal plug in the high-speed advance, and Harrison inserted a calm pick to break the goal! Leeds United lead 3-2! Since 2003, Harrison is the second Leeds United player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League.
In the 73rd minute, Rafinha swept down from the right and the back post, and Klich rushed to push the shot. The referee listened to the VAR and ruled that the offside player was interfering with the game and that the goal was invalid. Leeds United missed a great opportunity to seal the win.
In the 82nd minute, Yarmolenko's header went into the net, the referee raised his flag to show offside, and West Ham United also missed the chance to draw.
In the end, Leeds United beat West Ham United 3-2, creating a big upset. The reason why it is a upset is that West Ham United is currently in the 4th place in the table; the second is that Leeds United has lost the magical performance of last season, and has only won 5 league games so far, 9 points higher than the relegation zone.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time in Moyes' coaching career that he has lost to Leeds United in the Premier League; it is also the first time in nearly 19 years that West Ham United has lost at home to Leeds United. Of course, the Hammers' defeat also left Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Wolves behind them with a great opportunity to compete for four.
