The first half was uneventful, with both teams unable to break the deadlock. The first half ended goalless, with both teams going to the locker room tied. In the second half, Manchester increased the pace, with West Ham staying in their frames and waiting patiently for the counter-attack. He did so in the 74th minute against Somerville to give the home side the lead at the London Stadium. Ten Haag’s players did not rest, and Casemiro basically had a wake-up call, he leveled the game in the 81st minute. In the 89th minute, West Ham won a penalty, and Bowen converted it into a goal for the hosts and 2-1. There was no change in this score until the end of the game which showed the victory for Lopetegui’s team at home.
Crystal Palace – Tottenham 1-0

Naturally, it was the hosts who took the lead in the 31st minute through Mateta, as it was the final score of the first half, with the steps from both ends minimal. In the second half, Crystal made it 2-0, but VAR canceled the goal due to Eze offside in the 50′.
