Manchester United avoided defeat in their away match against West Ham United in the 26th round of the Premier League on the morning of February 11th thanks to a late moment of brilliance from Benjamin Šeško.
West Ham entered the match with a certain degree of confidence, having recently improved their form. The home side created an early opportunity with a header from Jarrod Bowen following a speedy cross from Crysencio Summerville, before Summerville himself forced goalkeeper Senne Lammens into a diving save with a skillful finish.
Conversely, Manchester United also showed signs of improvement. Michael Carrick's side put pressure on the opposition from set pieces, with Harry Maguire heading wide of the post, and Luke Shaw's close-range shot from Bruno Fernandes' cross being cleared off the line by Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
The first half was rather slow-paced, with few clear-cut chances. Both teams mainly contested in the midfield and were cautious in their ball distribution. MU controlled the game better, but struggled against West Ham's deep defensive line.
In the second half, the home team unexpectedly accelerated and quickly scored the opening goal. Tomáš Souček played a through pass to Bowen, before Souček himself entered the penalty area and finished from the captain's cross, giving West Ham the lead.
MU pressed forward in search of an equalizer. In the 63rd minute, Casemiro headed the ball into the net from a deep cross by Kobbie Mainoo, but the goal was disallowed for offside. The visitors continued to increase the pressure in the final minutes, with chances going to Bryan Mbeumo and Joshua Zirkzee.
Just when West Ham thought they had secured all three points, Manchester United unexpectedly equalized in the sixth minute of added time. From a cross from the right wing by Mbeumo, Šeško made a skillful run and a delicate touch, sending the ball straight into the top corner of the net.
The 1-1 draw helped MU extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to nine matches, maintaining their position in the top four. Meanwhile, West Ham continues to struggle in the relegation battle, still unable to move away from the bottom of the table.
