Sesko Strikes at the Death as Man United Draw at West Ham and Fall Short of Fifth Straight Win

The result keeps Michael Carrick’s side fourth on 45 points, extending viral fan Frank Ilett’s hair‑cut pledge.

Overview

  • Manchester United drew 1-1 at West Ham, with Benjamin Sesko leveling in stoppage time after Tomas Soucek’s opener.
  • Carrick’s early surge of four league wins ends, yet his unbeaten start remains intact following the late equalizer.
  • United stay in the Premier League’s top four with 45 points, holding off Chelsea after the Blues drew 2-2 with Leeds.
  • Frank Ilett, known as The United Strand, must continue his vow not to cut his hair until United win five straight, a streak now around 492–493 days.
