Recall both teams had the season’s first clash on Sunday Premier league Match which saw Jesse Lingard struck the winner against the Hammers during the Injury time.
Though Man Utd claimed 3 points from the Weekend’s (1-2) win at the London Stadium, it wasn’t a knock out match, today’s revenge guaranteed Man Utd’s elimination from the tournament.
The Hammers once again took the lead in the early minutes but unlike the weekend, there was no coming back for United.
The weekend match which was full of dramatic scenes might have resulted in a tie if Noble had scored the awarded penalty at the stoppage time.
The Hammers’s win on the 22nd had thereby earned revenge for that Sunday’s Premier League defeat against Red Devils.
However, their reward for beating United is a match with Manchester City.
