West Ham have moved seven points clear of the relegation zone after beating Manchester United 1-0 on Sunday evening.
Match Report
The Hammers took the lead after David de Gea failed to stop a tame shot from Said Benrahma in the first half, with the Algerian forward catching him out with a shot from outside the box while under pressure.
Said Benrahma's tame, long-range effort in the first half should have been a routine save for the goalkeeper but despite getting a hand to it, he was unable to stop it from bobbling over the line.
Manchester United, beaten 1-0 by Brighton last time out and only a point ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool, appeared in control of the game before De Gea's mistake but could ultimately have lost by a greater margin, with the hosts dominating much of the second half.
David Moyes' side were denied what looked a clear penalty on the stroke of half-time when Victor Lindelof's handball went unnoticed by on-pitch referee Peter Bankes and VAR Stuart Attwell decided not to intervene.
The decision ensured Erik ten Hag's side remained in the game but West Ham withstood late pressure to claim a deserved victory which takes them to 37 points, easing their relegation fears in 15th place.
Manchester United, meanwhile, still have a game in hand on Liverpool, but their stuttering form has thrown the top-four race open.
Despite feeling that a number of decisions went against them, David Moyes' side help on for a vital three points, while United remain just a point ahead of Liverpool with one game in hand.
