Sky Sports has made an embarrassing Man United gaffe about West Ham star Jarrod Bowen after his bumper new deal.
Late goals gave West Ham and Manchester United plenty to celebrate over the weekend.
Man United came back from 1-0 down at home to Brentford to win 2-1 thanks to a stoppage time brace from summer West Ham target Scott McTominay.
And new Hammers star boy Mohammed Kudus slammed in an 89th minute equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw at home to Newcastle.
There was a sense of pure relief for under pressure Man United while West Ham were left frustrated having perhaps deserved more after going agonisingly close to winning in stoppage time too as Jarrod Bowen cut inside the box but saw his effort brilliantly saved by Nick Pope.

There was pure relief off the field for the Hammers after the game, though.
Because it was announced that hero Bowen has signed a new seven-year deal with West Ham after over a year of negotiations.
Or has he? Not according to what is supposed to be the world’s leading football broadcaster.
Because Sky Sports made an embarrassing Man United gaffe about West Ham star Bowen after his bumper new deal.
Sky Sports, who have not even mentioned the Bowen negotiations being reported here and on a plethora of other football sites for months claimed to have ‘breaking news from their sources’.
All that dough but too much Doh!
And it was left to presenter Vicky Gomersall to deliver it – telling the world that Jarrod Bowen had signed a new deal with Manchester United.
“Just a little bit of breaking news, we’ll get reaction to this later on in the show,” Gomersall said.
“Jarrod Bowen has agreed a new long-term contract with Manchester United. Great news for them.
“A formal announcement is expected in the next 24-48 hours and it’s understood the deal will take him up to 2030.
“We’ll have more on that later in the show.”
Yes please do tell us more about West Ham star Bowen signing a long-term contract with Manchester United!
Sky Sports’ “Big Six” obsession leads to epic fail
Everyone makes mistakes but it seems the game’s supposed leading experts – with the most resources available to them and biggest setup make more than most.
The gaffe was picked up on by plenty of fans of both Man United and West Ham and was posted on social media as an ‘epic fail’.
Sycophantic Sky Sports are so used to focusing on Man United and their reviled Frankenstein’s monster they created and coined the “Big Six” they can’t see the wood for the trees.
Man United fans can only wish Bowen was their player.
For West Ham fans the schoolboy error could not take the edge off the best piece of business done by the club for some time.
