West Ham v Manchester United player ratings: Rice 8, Benrahma 7; De Gea 8, Ronaldo 7

Red Devils seal 2-1 win after dramatic finish at the London Stadium

WEST HAM RATINGS: Lukasz Fabianski - 8: Saved well from Fernandes, Wan-Bissaka and Ronaldo in opening half – but will be kicking himself he spilled Portuguese’s shot ahead of first goal. Denied Ronaldo again straight after break with another good stop. Reuters

Vladimir Coufal - 6: Left for dead by Ronaldo in first half and needed a rescuing tackle from Zouma. Vital interception on the hour with Portuguese lurking although must have been relieved no penalty was given when same player went down under his challenge in the box. Getty

Kurt Zouma - 8: Had been a very impressive league debut for the Hammers until he gave Lingard too much space to fire home the second goal – and also should have conceded late penalty for foul on Ronaldo. Before then, the former Chelsea man had looked unbeatable on the ground and in the air. Getty

Angelo Ogbonna - 7: New partnership at the back with Zouma is a promising one and the pair dealt well with United’s multiple attacking threats. Some well-timed and important challenges from the Italian. Getty

Aaron Cresswell - 5: Lost Ronaldo ahead of the Portuguese’s first-half goal but nearly made amends with perfect ball into middle for Vlasic that Croat couldn’t finish later in half. Another mistake at start of second half forced Ogbonna into conceding corner after break. Not one of the left-back's better games. AP

Thomas Soucek - 7: Urged to shoot by home fans from edge of area in first 20 minutes but could only trundle a weak effort wide. Fired another shot over a few minutes later after De Gea saved from Bowen. One superb cross-field ball out to Coufal in second half. AFP

Declan Rice - 8: England midfielder has been linked with move to opponents – and it’s easy to see why. Becoming a master at breaking up opposition and setting West Ham off on attacks. Some lung-bursting runs forward with ball in second half. Getty

Said Benrahma - 7: Caught Maguire in possession to set up early chance for Bowen then nearly found the same player again after lovely turn and run 23 minutes in. Opened the scoring for Hammers after his shot took huge deflection. Reuters

Pablo Fornals - 6: One lovely flick in one sweeping West Ham attacking move in first half and sprayed the ball around well. Ambitious first-time flick wide of target just after break when more regulation finish was needed. Lashed chance wide with 10 minutes to go. AP

Nikola Vlasic - 6: Croat’s first home start since moving from CSKA Moscow and clipped superb chance over bar just before half-time from Cresswell cross. Didn’t see much of ball so was no surprise when the hook came in second half. PA

Jarrod Bowen - 7: Looked set to score after 15 minutes but had shot blocked by Verane. Side-footed strike soon after but De Gea saved weak effort with his leg. Provided assist for Benrahma goal. Never stopped buzzing around but West Ham missed Michail Antonio’s physical presence up front. Getty

SUBS: Andriy Yarmolenko – (On for Vlasic 68’) 6: One or two nice touches without offering the extra attacking threat West Ham would have been hoping for. Getty

Manuel Lanzini – (On for Benrahma 88’) N/A. Mark Noble – (On for Bowen 90+4’) N/A: That really has to be the end of bringing outfield players on specifically to take penalties. In similar fashion to England in the Euro 2020 final, Noble came on cold and saw his spot-kick saved by De Gea. Getty

MAN UNITED RATINGS: David De Gea - 8: Early saves from Bowen, then done by a deflection off Varane. No issues with the Spaniard today – especially when he saved a 93rd minute penalty after guessing Mark Noble’s effort right. Top stuff from the man who is now doing more media – as a senior player should. Reuters

Aaron Wan-Bissaka - 7: Drove a shot in just after half-hour mark and got forward a lot in a first half where United impressed after going behind. Fortune on his side when he won a free-kick with 20 minutes left as West Ham fans shouted for a penalty, yet the penalty shouts from the visitors were more valid. PA

Raphael Varane - 6: Blocked a shot after an early Maguire mistake, then tried to do the same only for the ball to deflect into the net. Pushed forward towards the end and tried to assist late attacks. More touches than any player on the pitch. Getty

Harry Maguire - 6: Gave ball away to allow West Ham a first shot on goal. Blocked one effort. Not up to his usual standard. Getty

Luke Shaw - 7: Offered an outlet on left as he got forward and drove a shot at goal after 27 minutes. Made more key passes (five) than any player on the pitch. Handball led to West Ham penalty in 93. He was gutted, but could smile when it was saved. Reuters

Fred - 5: He’s becoming a scapegoat among fans – and not always without reason. It can be costly when he loses possession and the scrutiny is not going to go away. Getty

Scott McTominay - 5: Scrambling for ball before West Ham’s first attempt on goal after 20 minutes. Clever ball through the lines set Ronaldo up later in half. Needlessly gave ball away to Rice in last 20 minutes. Excellent tackle in last minute to stop a West Ham attack. . AFP

Paul Pogba - 6: Decent first half with neat crossfield balls. Like the rest of his team, level dropped in second half. By the time it picked up again, he’d been substituted. Furious with referee after a foul was given against him. Reuters

Mason Greenwood - 7: Creative runs with the ball and he was right on form in the first half. Beautiful to watch. Quieter in second and first to be substituted. Getty

Bruno Fernandes - 7: A cross into dangerous area after 26 minutes – a minute before his shot was pushed onto the post by Fabianski. Set up Ronaldo for the equaliser. Their partnership and interchanges could be so important to United this season. Getty

Cristiano Ronaldo - 7: Through just after half hour but let down by his touch, then equalised on the rebound a minute later after Fabianksi saved his first effort to make it four goals in three games. Denied by keeper just beofre and after half-time. Three times he was furious that a penalty wasn’t given for a challenge on him - and not without reason. Getty

SUBS: Jesse Lingard – (On for Pogba 73’) 8: Applauded by West Ham fans after his stellar loan spell last season, but had little impact on game … until an incredible curling winner after 88. Fabulous. Scored in second successive league game. AFP

Jadon Sancho – (On for Greenwood 73’) 6: Changed little. Barely noticed so far since his transfer from Dortmund. His time will come. Nemanja Matic – (On for Fred 88’) N/A. Reuters

Jesse Lingard scored a late winner for Manchester United in a dramatic finish at the London Stadium that saw Mark Noble miss an injury-time penalty for West Ham with his first touch after coming on as a substitute.

West Ham took the lead after half an hour when Said Benrahma's strike from outside the area took a huge deflection off Raphael Varane, giving United goalkeeper David De Gea no chance.

Cristiano Ronaldo levelled for the visitors - with his fourth goal in three games since returning to the club - when he finished from a couple of metres out after Hammers goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski had spilt the Portuguese's initial shot.

Fabianski made a string of good saves in the first half, the best was a fingertip effort to turn Bruno Fernandes' shot on to the post.

The match seemed to be heading for a draw when Lingard - who enjoyed a hugely successful loan spell with the Hammers last season - cut inside on to his right foot and curled a perfect strike into the top corner in the 89th minute.

But that was not the end of the drama, though. Luke Shaw was rightly adjudged to have handballed in the box after a VAR check handing West Ham the chance for an injury-time leveller. United were furious - but more because that Ronaldo had twice been denied ligitmate claims for a penalty, rather than anger at the Shaw decision.

But Hammaers club captain Noble came on to the pitch to take the penalty only to see De Gea guess the right way and comfortably save his spot kick.

It was West Ham's first defeat of the season and leaves them in eighth place in the table with eight points from five games. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are unbeaten and sit joint top of the table with four wins and a draw — although they could be overtaken by Chelsea if they win at Tottenham in the game later on Sunday.
