Late last week, a number of West Ham United fans reacted negatively to suggestions that Aaron Cresswell could start Sunday’s Premier League clash with Manchester United.
Indeed, many claimed that Cresswell’s presence would help the Red Devils.
As it turned out, the Englishman did feature against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, and he came up with a brilliant free kick as the Hammers recorded a 2-0 win.
It has not been the easiest of campaigns for the 29-year-old, who has failed to even make the bench for four of West Ham’s six Premier League games this season.
Arthur Masuaku’s suspension opened the door for the former Ipswich Town defender to feature against the 20-time English champions, though, and he certainly did not disappoint.
In addition to his late free kick, Cresswell won three aerial duels and three tackles during his 90 minutes on the field, according to WhoScored.
