Look at the sneaky kick by Matić to Coufal’s groin. Fans are calling for an additional penalty!

Manchester United hosted West Ham United at Old Trafford on Tuesday night, having beaten them in the Premier League at the weekend after a thrilling game. However, the London outfit managed the cup match, which was full of intricacies, and move on.

The incident between Nemanja Matić and Vladimir Coufal took place in the 59th minute when the Czech back played the ball away and the Manchester United midfielder clearly needed to vent his anger.

Matić therefore continued his movement and kicked Coufal in the groin with his knee, who went down, but the referee missed the tackle. Just like many others!

Logically, this intervention angered the Hammers’ fans, who demanded at least a three-match penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

But as it was said, West Ham managed to win the Carabao Cup match and Alex King made his debut and helped to win 1:0.

According to WhoScored, King was even the best midfielder of the match, getting a rating of 7.74, the second best performance of the match ever, after West Ham goalkeeper Areola (8.18).

The third Czech in the service of the Hammers is thus well on his way to starting more often. Unfortunately, the path to the starting lineup will be very difficult through the pair of Declan Rice – Tomas Soucek.

However, there has been speculation for several transfer windows about the departure of an English midfielder to make way for King.

West Ham now face a league game against Leeds United and then a Europa League clash with Rapid Vienna.
