West Ham United beat Manchester United late on in the huge Premier League clash on Sunday, as Julen Lopetegui and Erik ten Hag experienced completely different emotions in the dying minutes.
It wasn’t just the West Ham and Manchester United managers who felt it either.

The Hammers fans were bouncing in the stands at the London Stadium, as our boys earned an absolutely pivotal three points.
Manchester United coach Darren Fletcher was hanging around the press box during the second-half of the game, and his reaction to West Ham being awarded a penalty was pure gold.
It wasn’t all sunshine and roses for the Hammers today, but we got the result in the end, that was all that mattered.
Julen Lopetegui made some questionable decisions on the day, none more so that his bizarre idea to play Carlos Soler out wide on the left wing.
However, it all worked out in the end.
You won’t believe what ex-Manchester United star did after West Ham penalty
I was more surprised than anyone when VAR intervened and awarded the Hammers a penalty in the dying minutes of the game.
It was a soft penalty in all fairness but my word, did we deserve a call like that going in our favour.
One member of the Man United coaching staff was fuming though it seems.
Hammers reporter Roshane Thomas took to his X account, and shared how Darren Fletcher reacted to the penalty being awarded…
That is blinding.
Fletcher was obviously used to getting decisions given in his favour during his Manchester United days under Fergie, but it went West Ham’s way on Sunday.
I cannot tell you how much the Hammers needed that win against the Red Devils, and Lopetegui will be a very relieved man right now.
The performance was far from perfect, but there were huge improvements on display in the second-half.
And Fletcher having a hissy fit in the press box was the icing on the cake – if only there were cameras on him!
