3. Chances were created, finishing the prime problem
The game wasn’t too boring, to sound honest. Both sides had their fair share or opportunities to bring the game to life, but it wasn’t meant to be. United especially, could’ve score twice or thrice provided they’d taken advantage of the opportunities that fell to them.
Jesse Lingard fired wide from close range after West Ham cleared a Juan Mata free kick. Anthony Martial sent a shot whiskers past the right-hand post in the second half, while Marouane Fellaini failed to put away a glorious opportunity in the second half.
As mentioned earlier, West Ham to could’ve taken the lead, but they couldn’t thanks to poor finishing. The positive for United was that they looked good, when it comes to creating chances but failed in finishing them off. They looked bright after Memphis came on, but lackadaisical finishing led to a 0-0 draw.
