Benjamin Šeško's dramatic goal secured Manchester United a 1-1 draw against West Ham United in the Premier League, stopping the Hammers from making it four games without a defeat at home to the Red Devils.

The home team entered this match in better form, and this was evident from the start, with some encouraging chances.

Jarrod Bowen headed in a cross from Crysencio Summerville, but the ball went wide, while the Dutchman himself then tried a shot that Senne Lammens saved.

Michael Carrick's team also applied increased pressure from corners, with Harry Maguire shooting wide and a Luke Shaw shot from a low Bruno Fernandes cross that Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared off the line.

Clearer chances were few during the first half.

After a first half that was played mostly at a slow pace, West Ham quickly took the lead after the break.

Tomáš Souček scored after a cross from Jarrod Bowen.

Summerville stopped a Dalot shot as the visitors looked for an equaliser, which they thought had come in the 63rd minute when Casemiro headed in a Kobbie Mainoo cross but was ruled out for offside.

Souček then stopped an effort from Mbeumo, and Joshua Zirkzee headed wide in the dying moments as West Ham fought to the end.

However, Manchester United's reward came in the 96th minute, when Šeško fired a masterful shot into the top corner, extending their unbeaten run in the PL to nine games and keeping them in fourth place, even though their four-game winning streak came to an end.

West Ham have lost just one of their last six matches in all competitions, but are now two points behind Nottingham Forest, having played a game more.

With this point, United now has 45 points, placing them in fourth place.

West Ham is 18th with 24 points./Express newspaper/
