FT: West Ham 2-1 Man Utd

West Ham United

West Ham boss Julien Lopetegui speaks to BBC MOTD: “I’m happy about the three points. We are happy for the fans and players, they deserve this win after suffering a lot in the first half. In the second half we changed different things and the first half was for them but the second half was for us. We were able to keep up better and win the match.

“We had a few players with yellow cards so we changed at half-time because we wanted to be aggressive. I wanted to use Crysencio Summerville, I thought he would be key in the second half. His energy and style of play in the second half made it possible for us. “Luckily we won when they scored and we appreciate the fans' support.

“Every week I can make changes and think about ideas on how to play against the opponent. I thought today that Summerville could play a key role in the second half, but he will play a lot. He did well, we are happy for him and for the team.” and players and fans.

For punishment: “I didn't see it. The players say it's a penalty and the referee says it's a penalty, so I'm sure they're right. But I didn't see it. I would rather emphasize that after the goal we keep the energy and the positive impulse to win the game. I prefer to keep that energy.

“We had a bad result last week but that can happen and today we won against a big team. Winning a game is a big challenge, it's difficult to push yourself to the limit. We have to keep the energy to compete and be better.”
