Magassa & Areola made the difference.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
        Pretty bubbles in the air,                                                                                                    In Association With....
                  They fly so high,
                           Nearly reach the sky,
                  Then like my dreams,
            They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
          I've looked everywhere,
                  I'm forever blowing bubbles,
                                        Pretty bubbles in the air.......

            UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!


⚽ Man Utd 1-1 West Ham United: Late Hammer Blow at Old Trafford

Manchester United's push for the European places was checked as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by West Ham United at Old Trafford on Thursday night. The Red Devils failed to hold onto a second-half lead, allowing the visitors to snatch a crucial point in their fight against relegation.

Diogo Dalot gave United the lead in the 58th minute, but a late strike from Soungoutou Magassa in the 83rd minute ensured the points were shared. The result leaves Man Utd in eighth place, while West Ham remain entrenched in the relegation zone.

⭐ Man of the Match Appraisal: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham)

The former Manchester United defender, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, earned the Player of the Match honors for an exceptional performance at right-back for West Ham.

  • Defensive Heroics: Wan-Bissaka was a rock in the West Ham defense, excelling in one-on-one duels and making a pivotal goalline clearance in the first half to deny Joshua Zirkzee a certain goal. This moment was crucial in keeping the score level and preserving West Ham's hopes.

  • Composure and Strength: He showed great strength and composure throughout the game, particularly against his former teammates, and his defensive efforts were key to West Ham containing United's attacks, especially in the first half.


🇫🇷 Synopsis of Soungoutou Magassa's Contribution

The 22-year-old French midfielder, Soungoutou Magassa, was instrumental in securing a valuable point for the Hammers and delivered a performance that was rated highly, second only to Wan-Bissaka.

  • The Equaliser: His most significant contribution was scoring West Ham's late equaliser in the 83rd minute. After Noussair Mazraoui cleared Jarrod Bowen's flick-on from a corner off the line, Magassa was on hand to calmly slot home the rebound—his first goal for the club in the Premier League.

  • Midfield Work Rate: Operating in a defensive midfield role, Magassa put in a tireless shift, demonstrating a "no-nonsense" approach. Statistics show he was a key figure in midfield duels, registering a high number of successful tackles (tied for most in the game) and clearances, helping West Ham disrupt United's control, particularly in the latter stages of the match. His general play helped solidify the center of the park for Nuno Espirito Santo's side.
