Manchester United’s winning streak has come to an end after four games, but they remain unbeaten under Michael Carrick following tonight’s draw.
The Red Devils were made to work until the very dying embers of their clash with West Ham to rescue a point, though United have every right to feel aggrieved that Casemiro’s initial leveller didn’t stand.
It was one of the tightest offside calls you’ll see this season, yet even the Brazilian was braced for it being ruled out as soon as his header hit the back of the net.
Thankfully, Benjamin Sesko had the exact impact Carrick desired when bringing him off the bench, as the Slovenian international scored a truly tremendous goal in injury time to make it 1-1 with seconds left to play.
Reacting to the equaliser on TNT Sports, Ally McCoist branded Sesko’s finish as ‘astonishing’, to which fellow commentator Darren Fletcher responded: “That’s as good as anything you’ll see tonight.”
Over on X/Twitter, Laurie Whitwell echoed the sentiment, saying: “Outrageous finish from Sesko. Angle looked impossible.
“Finally, United [are] getting the ball wide + crossing.”
The fact that Chelsea also drew with Leeds United earlier in the night means the Reds haven’t felt too much of an impact from dropping points, although it was a squandered opportunity to capitalise on other results.
In line with that, it opens the door for Liverpool to close the gap to United to just three points if they win tomorrow. However, they are away at the Stadium of Light, where Sunderland have yet to taste defeat in the Premier League this campaign.
Next up for United is a maiden visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton, who sustained a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth tonight and had key defender Jake O’Brien shown a straight red.
