West Ham leapfrogged Manchester United in the Premier League table on Sunday with a hard-fought 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.
It was one of their most cohesive performances under manager Graham Potter, with a clearer tactical identity beginning to take shape.
The Hammers defended resolutely and struck with pace and precision on the counterattack.

According to the Standard, Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen provided the goals on either side of halftime, each finishing off slick team moves.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka, returning to Old Trafford, played a key role in both goals—first setting up Mohammed Kudus to assist Soucek, then delivering the final pass for Bowen’s strike.
The defeat is another setback for Manchester United ahead of their Europa League final, now less than two weeks away.
Manager Erik ten Hag will be concerned by the loss of defender Leny Yoro to injury in the second half.
While Tottenham’s defeat offers some consolation, the growing gap between United’s European performances and domestic inconsistency continues to raise questions.
