EPL: West Ham end Man United’s winning run as Tottenham sink to 16th

Benjamin Sesko salvaged a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against West Ham as Michael Carrick’s perfect start in the Premier League came to an end on Tuesday night, while Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat to Newcastle pushed Thomas Frank closer to the exit door.

Tomas Soucek converted Jarrod Bowen’s cross early in the second half to give the home side the lead.

But West Ham were denied a priceless win at the death when Sesko brilliantly flicked in Bryan Mbeumo’s cross.

United remain in fourth after fifth-placed Chelsea blew a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at home to Leeds.

West Ham moved to within two points of safety, with Tottenham now just five points above the relegation zone in 16th.

Malick Thiaw gave Newcastle the half-time lead their dominance deserved when he slotted home in first-half stoppage time.

Archie Gray briefly levelled for Tottenham after the break, but Jacob Ramsey quickly restored Newcastle’s lead as they secured just a third away league win of the campaign.

Everton’s hopes of European football for the first time since 2017 suffered a big blow after Bournemouth came from behind to win 2-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
