Manchester United vs West Ham ended in a dramatic way as Marcus Rashford clinched the winner at the dead-end of the match. Which took Man United to the top 4 in the league table.

Fred was getting on the nerves of Alphonse Areola in the second half; On the other side, Jarrod Bowen troubled De Gea as his effort got rippled past the side-netting. Also, Raphael Varane and Tomas Soucek both saw their headers from corners narrowly go away from the target.
However, it all happened in the final minute of stoppage time, Man United took ownership of three points as all three second-half substitutes combined. Cristiano Ronaldo poked the ball into Anthony Martial, who laid it in the path of Edinson Cavani. The Uruguayan timed his run to perfection before passing it to Marcus Rashford; Who put it at the back post with the simplest of tap-ins.

Vincent Kompany cemented his legend at Manchester Citywhen he captained the club to their inaugural Premier League title in the 2011/2012 season.
The Belgian center-back was among the limited number of players who stayed at City following the takeover by Sheikh Mansour in 2008, having signed for the club prior to the takeover being completed. During his time at City, Kompany led the team to four Premier League titles, with his last championship win being in the 2018/2019 season.

The latter season featured the famous Arsenal Invincibles, who completed the entire league campaign without losing a single match.
Patrick Vieira arrived at Arsenal in 1996, the same time Arsene Wenger did. Next season, they won the double.

Keane's Premier League career further reinforces his legacy. He played 366 games, scored 39 goals, and won 220 matches, suffering just 61 losses during his time. Keane's incredible story goes beyond the Premier League years, however, and shows how his legacy has lasted for a long time.
