WIDE!! Antony's first touch takes him past Benrahma, before shooting from the edge of the box. It's a thunderous effort that takes a nick off a claret shirt, and shaves the outside of the post on its way behind for a corner!

CHANCE! Antonio bursts past Lindelof to surge down the left flank, before cutting the ball back to Bowen. A deflection makes it a difficult shot for the winger to hit, and his attempt skews up and into the waiting gloves of De Gea!
West Ham United vs Manchester United
United have failed to win in the last four Premier League matches they've conceded the opening goal in, dating back to mid-January against Manchester City. To make matters worse, De Gea's now made four errors directly leading to goals this seasonl, drawing him level with Spurs' Hugo Lloris at the top of that undesirable list.
