Diogo Dalot left fans stunned after missing an open goal, failing to capitalise on a golden chance to put Manchester United ahead.
United visited West Ham’s London Stadium, aiming to secure consecutive Premier League victories for the first time this season.
Dalot had the perfect chance to propel Erik ten Hag’s side toward that milestone but produced one of the season’s biggest misses, reflecting United’s ongoing struggles in front of goal.
The right-back surged forward, connecting with a well-placed pass from captain Bruno Fernandes.
After nudging the ball past West Ham keeper Łukasz Fabiański, Dalot faced an open net but misfired, sending the ball over the bar and missing a prime opportunity to hand United a deserved lead.
