But as you've been hearing, the game really changing, not just with the sending off, but the introduction of these two substitutes.

Juan Mata got himself off the score sheet.

It was Rashford who set it up, and he and Mata are now alongside Patrick Davison.

They really did change the course of the game because up until when they came on it was looking frustrating for United despite being up against 10 and that is so often the story.

It's interesting what Gary said there and he should know that this United team is starting to look like the United of old.

Do you agree?

But the sending off was a massive talking point after just 15 minutes.

The fastest red card of the season so far.

It once again came from Mike Dean.

His fifth red of the season.

You've had plenty more times to view it.

I doubt you've changed your mind, have you?

Well, no, I think it's the fact that it is Mike Dean.

We'd probably look at it a little bit more closely and more critical.

But it was a poor decision for me, and coming so early on in the game, I didn't think it was necessary.

I think he could have just given a yellow card for stretching, having overran the ball.

And he obviously tilted the game heavily in Manchester United's favour.

Hey, listen, West Ham went into the game as second favourites.

They might well have lost anyway.
