Manchester United's winning streak under Michael Carrick ended at five matches as Benjamin Sesko scored a dramatic 96th-minute equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw at West Ham. The Red Devils were bidding for their fifth consecutive Premier League victory under the interim manager, which would have lifted them to third place and closed the gap on Manchester City to just three points.

West Ham took the lead through Tomás Soucek in the 50th minute, capitalizing on defensive hesitation from Luke Shaw. The Czech midfielder finished off a flowing move involving Jarrod Bowen to give the hosts a lead they defended resolutely until stoppage time. United thought they had equalized when Casemiro headed home, but VAR ruled the Brazilian offside.

Sesko's late intervention denied West Ham what would have been a crucial three points in their battle against relegation. The draw leaves United on 45 points and still firmly in contention for Champions League qualification, while West Ham remain in the relegation zone. The result was a bitter pill for United fan Frank Ilett, who had pledged not to cut his hair until the club won five straight matches, extending his 493-day wait.
