Carrick's Streak Continues: Sesko Rescues Point in Stoppage-Time Thriller
Share
Manchester United’s flawless winning run under Michael Carrick may have faced its first speed bump at the London Stadium, but the Red Devils’ fighting spirit remains fully intact. A dramatic 96th-minute equaliser from Benjamin Šeško ensured United left East London with a 1-1 draw against a resilient West Ham side.
After a cagey first half, the Hammers took the lead through Tomas Soucek early in the second half. However, as "Carrick-ball" has shown us over the past few weeks, this United side never knows when they are beaten.
"Mixed Feelings" - Every Word from Carrick
Speaking after the match, head coach Michael Carrick admitted that while the performance wasn't at the heights of their recent wins over Man City and Arsenal, the grit was undeniable.
"We weren't quite at our best, and credit to West Ham for that. But the boys are frustrated and disappointed in the dressing room—which is a great sign. It shows the standards we’ve set. We found a way to take a point, and that spirit is exactly what we need."
Carrick especially praised the impact of Benjamin Šeško, calling his late volley a "fantastic finish" and highlighting the Slovenian striker as the man for the big moments.
