West Ham United vs Manchester United Match Preview

West Ham United will play host to Manchester United buoyed by their weekend win over Wigan Athletic, a game that was dramatically billed as the ‘Save Our Season’ match. Manchester United are two time defending Champions and will be looking for their third Carling Cup title in a row.

West Ham defender Lars Jacobsen is cup-tied and ineligible after playing for Blackburn Rovers in earlier rounds of this season’s competition. Ironically, the League Cup game against Norwich City was Jacobsen’s only appearance for the Hammers. Veteran midfielder Kieron Dyer will be hoping to shake off a hamstring injury in time to play.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to ring the changes after their impressive 7-1 weekend victory over Blackburn Rovers. Chris Smalling, Wes Brown and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez are all strong contenders to start.

West Ham United vs Manchester United Match Report

Manchester United’s bid for a third straight Carling Cup title was ruined as they were beaten 4-0 by West Ham United at Upton Park. Former Manchester United player Jonathan Spector scored two first half goals, before Carlton Cole added two second half strikes to complete the rout.

Inter Milan loanee Victor Obbina was in inspired form for West Ham. The Nigerian winger provided the assist on all four goals and also had a strike of his own disallowed for offside.

The game started in entertaining end to end fashion and it took an excellent save from Rob Green to prevent Manchester United from going in front. The World Cup’s most infamous goalkeeper got down brilliantly to tip Gabriel Obertan’s strike onto the goal post before James Tomkins cleared.

Soon after the excellent Obbina appeared to have put the Hammers ahead, but his long range shot deflected off Spector who was stood in an offside position.

Spector made up for the error in the 22nd minute when he headed home Obbina’s pinpoint cross. The strike was Spector’s first goal in English football, a surprising statistic given the fact the American first arrived at Manchester United in 2003.

After waiting seven years to score his first goal in English football, Spector had to wait only 15 minutes to add his second. Spector surged into the area and was set up by Obbina before firing the ball past Tomas Kuszczak for the 2-0 lead going into half-time.
West Ham continued to press after the break and an excellent 56th minute cross by Obbina was headed home by Cole for his 50th career goal. Obbina was on fire and completed Manchester United’s misery when he skinned Rafael Da Silva and set up Cole to finish clinically and round off the 4-0 win. The victory means West Ham have reached their first League cup semi-final in 20 years.
