West Ham loses potential victory at Sheffield United due to red cards and contentious penalty calls.

In the final moments of the game at Bramall Lane, Oli McBurnie scored a penalty in the 13th minute of added time to secure a 2-2 draw for Sheffield United against West Ham United. The ending was full of excitement and suspense.

The Hammers looked to have won it when James Ward-Prowse’s 79th-minute spot-kick put them ahead after Maxwel Cornet’s first goal for the club was cancelled out by a debut effort from new Blades recruit Ben Brereton Diaz.

However, the referee, Michael Salisbury, determined that West Ham’s goalkeeper, Alphonse Areola, had committed a foul against McBurnie in the eighth minute of extra time. Then, five minutes later, Areola was substituted with Lukasz Fabianski and the striker for Sheffield United calmly scored from 12 yards to secure a draw.

West Ham manager David Moyes was furious with the ruling as his team lost two points that could have helped them catch up to the top four teams in the Premier League.

The finale of the game was filled with action, as Rhian Brewster was sent off for Sheffield United and Vladimir Coufal received a similar fate for West Ham in separate occurrences.

Sheffield United received a lot of praise for their performance, however, they are in desperate need of wins as they are currently seven points behind at the bottom of the table. It is worth noting that no team in Premier League history has managed to survive with such a small number of points at this point in the season.

The players of Chris Wilder began with strong energy, but were unable to pose a threat to the West Ham goal. The opposing team quickly found weaknesses on the opposite side.

In the 28th minute, the Hammers took the lead with their next significant offensive move.

Coufal made a pass to Ings on the right side, who then received the ball again after finding an open area near the edge of the field. Ings’ attempt at a shot was obstructed by Jack Robinson, but the rebound landed perfectly for Cornet to score at the far end of the goal.

The Ivorian had a memorable moment, finally succeeding on his 31st try.

The Hammers were on the attack and came close to scoring a second goal, but Jayden Bogle’s courageous block prevented Ings from scoring.

This became significant when Brereton Diaz scored his first goal in the Premier League to tie the game for the hosts in the 44th minute.

Aaron Trusty’s attempt to score with a header near the goal was met by Will Osula at the far side. Osula’s diving header was then deflected by Areola, but it landed perfectly for the Chilean striker to powerfully finish from a distance of six yards.

He should have been rejoicing 12 minutes into the second half, but instead he missed a crucial opportunity.

James McAtee had an open opportunity as he advanced towards the goal with no other players in his vicinity. It appeared that he would score, but unfortunately, his shot went wide.

The feeling was that it could be a crucial moment, and it turned out to be true as the away team was given a penalty with 11 minutes left in regular time after Gus Hamer tripped Ings.

Ward-Prowse was always going to score as he placed his shot directly down the center of the net.

In the added time, it seemed highly unlikely that the hosts would be able to make a comeback as Brewster received a red card for his tackle on Emerson Palmieri, following a review by VAR.

However, this was only the beginning of the chaos as Coufal received his second yellow card within four minutes and the resulting foul resulted in the Blades being given a penalty.

They recycled the set-piece, with McAtee curling in an inviting cross which Areola came for but did not get to, instead clattering into McBurnie.

The referee signaled for a penalty kick, and after a significant delay due to Areola’s injury, McBurnie successfully converted the kick.
