Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:56:21 GMT

LONDON (AP) — David De Gea’s error in Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to West Ham loosened his team’s grip on the final Champions League qualification place on Sunday.The Spain goalkeeper let Said Benrahma’s hopeful shot from 20 meters slip over his glove and into the net to condemn Erik Ten Hag’s team to back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.United now lies just one point ahead of a rapidly advancing Liverpool, albeit with a game in hand, but an eighth loss on the road this season could prove as costly for the visitors as it was priceless for West Ham.The Hammers climbed seven points above the relegation zone and are surely now safe.De Gea’s match began inauspiciously when his poor clearance flew to the feet of Declan Rice, whose run into the area was only curtailed by a last-ditch tackle from Wout Weghorst.Marcus Rashford curled over for the visitors while Bruno Fernandes and Antony smashed low shots narrowly wide.Christian Eriksen’s effort also floated too high before Ras...
