In the 72nd minute, West Ham's Paqueta picked up a pass to Bowen, who stopped the ball in the box and fired a left-footed shot at goal, although it was blocked by Onana, but he quickly followed up and scored again, and West Ham led Manchester United 1-0.

Editor's comment after the game!
Manchester United drew with Liverpool, Liverpool turned their heads and poured their anger on the Hammer, and after the Hammer's defeat, they are now spilling their anger back on Manchester United, so Villa should be careful in the next round [covering their face]
Manchester United is now in the front court, there is no breakthrough, no intersperse, no bottom, no cross, this time even a rare single knife does not score, spicy eyes. The staffing of the midfield and backfield has changed too much, the players do not have a strong sense of position, and it is normal for mistakes to occur, and once they are caught, they are fatal. Looking at it from a distance, the lineup is not much changed, and there is basically no hope.
It has been said many times that there is no system in defense and the offensive strength is insufficient, so we must first find a way to firmly fence our own home and not be ashamed! It is difficult for a strong team to lose and a weak team to win, and there is no hope for revival
Ten Hag can't say that he won't get out of class this time, right? The bottom of the Champions League is playing like this, it's really shameless
