Breaking Update: Here’s a clear explanation of the latest developments related to Breaking News:Manchester United player ratings: ‘Brilliant’ 8/10 duo rescue draw vs West Ham as two 4/10s struggle– What Just Happened and why it matters right now.
Leny Yoro and Benjamin Sesko made the difference as Manchester United secured a dramatic 1-1 draw with West Ham on Tuesday night. Michael Carrick named an unchanged side for the match from the weekend win over Tottenham, with Sesko on the bench from the start.
West Ham started well as Jarrod Bowen headed wide and Crysencio Summerville forced a decent save from distance. United’s best chance of a tight first-half came from another set-piece as Luke Shaw saw an effort cleared off the line after a clever corner kick.
The hosts played well after the restart and took the lead when Tomas Soucek capitalised on some poor defending to give them the lead. United thought they drew level when Casemiro headed in, only for the goal to be disallowed for offside.
Carrick sent Sesko, Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee on to try and find an equaliser, and they got one in the fifth minute of added time when Sesko diverted a cross into the net.
Here is how we rated the United players at the London Stadium.
1. Senne Lammens – 5.5
A decent stop from Summerville. Not much he could do about Soucek’s goal. His limited distribution was a problem at times. | Getty Images
2. Diogo Dalot – 4
Was beaten too easily by Summerville all night and was booked in the second half. Wasteful with some of his passes. | AFP via Getty Images
3. Harry Maguire – 6
Defended well throughout and made some important challenges. Headed wide from a corner. Looked to have a slight hamstring issue. | Getty Images
4. Lisandro Martinez – 6
He was confident with the ball and always looked to play as high up as possible. United probably needed him to be braver with his passing. | Getty Images
