Sesko breaks West Ham hearts to rescue point for Man Utd

Benjamin Sesko's last-minute equaliser secures Manchester United a draw against West Ham, impacting both teams' standings in the league.
Substitute Benjamin Sesko scored a 96th-minute equaliser as Manchester United rescued a point at relegation-threatened West Ham United in their 1-1 Premier League draw at the London Stadium on Tuesday (February 10, 2026).
United stay in fourth place in the table with 45 points from 26 games, while West Ham move to 24 points from the same number of matches, two points away from the safety zone.
Tomas Soucek put West Ham ahead five minutes into the second half and it looked as though they would claim a precious win until Sesko’s clever finish deep into added time broke home hearts.
United’s run of four successive wins came to an end as interim manager Michael Carrick dropped his first points in charge on what was a frustrating night for his Champions League-chasing side before Sesko’s late cameo.
West Ham’s point leaves several clubs nervously looking over their shoulder, not least 17th-placed Nottingham Forest (26 points) and Tottenham Hotspur (29), who will have celebrated Sesko’s equaliser along with United fans.
The visitors only had three shots on target in the entire game as West Ham did well to keep chances at a premium, but as they dominated possession in the final 15 minutes, there was a feeling of inevitability about the goal.

Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, who on Monday began a four-day march to raise awareness against drug abuse, was joined by Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal in Ferozepur on Tuesday. The move prompted the Congress to question whether a potential reunion of the BJP and the Akali Dal is on the cards ahead of next year’s Assembly election.
