EPL: Why Man Utd lost 2-1 to West Ham – Ten Hag
Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has blamed the controversial penalty awarded against his team for their 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
Jarrod Bowen scored from the spot late in the second half at the London Stadium.
Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring with his first goal for the Hammers before Casemiro levelled with a header.
The hosts then scored the winner through Bowen.
Referee David Coote did not award the spot-kick after Matthijs De Ligt clashed with Danny Ings.
But VAR Michael Oliver advised Coote to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.
“Three times this season we feel injustice,” Ten Hag told the BBC.
“We have to score, we created so many chances. We should’ve been two or three up.
“Second half we were forcing it but we allowed them into the game. When you are losing 1-0 you need a big personality and character of the team and [they] showed resilience to get back into it. Unfair and unjust the way we conceded the penalty.”
