Sesko scores late to rescue 1-1 draw for Man United at West Ham

Benjamin Sesko struck a brilliant equalizer in stoppage time to rescue a 1-1
draw for Manchester United at West Ham in the Premier League on Tuesday.
Michael Carrick was moments away from his first loss as United coach as the
clock ticked down at the London Stadium. But Sesko - who had been thrown on in
an attempt to turn the game around after Tomas Soucek had given West Ham the
lead - delivered with a spectacular flicked goal at the near post in the 96th
minute.
The draw ended Carrick's four-game winning start, but kept United ahead of
Chelsea in fourth place.
Chelsea blows it
Chelsea blew a two-goal lead at home to draw 2-2 with Leeds as Liam Rosenior
dropped points for the first time since taking over at Stamford Bridge.
Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor sealed the comeback for Leeds, which dealt a blow
to Chelsea's hopes of Champions League qualification.
Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer from the penalty spot seemed to put Rosenior on
course for a fifth-straight league win. But Chelsea was stunned by two goals in
the space of six minutes from in-form Leeds and had to settle for a point.
Tottenham is being sucked into a relegation battle after a 2-1 home loss to
Newcastle.
The pressure is building on coach Thomas Frank, whose team is still to win a
league game in 2026.
Newcastle ended a three-game losing run in the league. Jacob Ramsey slid a
winner into the bottom corner from close range in the 68 minute at the
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Malick Thiaw put Newcastle ahead in first-half stoppage time.
Archie Gray gave Spurs hope in the 64th, but Ramsey sealed the points for the
visitor shortly after.
Bournemouth scored twice in the space of three minutes to come back from a goal
down to beat Everton 2-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Iliman Ndiaye's penalty before the break gave the home team the lead, but Rayan
leveled in the 61st and Amine Adli scored the winner three minutes later.
