Benjamin Šeško admitted to mixed emotions after his late goal earned Manchester United a 1-1 draw against West Ham at the London Stadium.

The Slovenian striker was introduced in the second half and made an immediate impact, producing a composed finish to cancel out Tomáš Souček’s first-half opener and rescue a point for Michael Carrick’s side.

Despite his decisive contribution, Šeško made it clear he was not fully satisfied with the outcome.

“I’m happy with my finish, but I’m not happy with the draw,” he said in his post-match interview.

Reflecting on the overall performance, the forward highlighted the team’s resilience and togetherness. “We are working together, no matter what happens. It was important not to lose and to get the draw. It was a tough match,” he added.

“They were dangerous on the counter.”

Viral Manchester United supporter Frank Ilett, widely known online as The United Strand, was left heartbroken and visibly emotional after the Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham at the London Stadium.

A late equaliser from Benjamin Sesko salvaged a point for Michael Carrick’s side following Tomas Soucek’s opener, but the result proved devastating for Ilett.

The draw brought an end to United’s winning run and denied them the fifth consecutive victory he needed to finally complete his now-infamous hair-growing challenge.

The pledge, which began back in October 2024, stipulates that Ilett will only get his long-awaited haircut once United record five straight wins under the current manager. With the draw extending the challenge to nearly 500 days, the barber will have to wait a little longer.

In his immediate post-match reaction, streamed live to more than a million followers, Ilett appeared crushed by the outcome. Sitting with his head buried in his hands, the superfan struggled to find the words to express his disappointment.

“I don’t know what to say,” he muttered softly, his voice breaking as he fought back tears — a raw moment that quickly spread across social media and summed up the frustration felt by many United fans on the night.

Liam Rosenior has admitted there is still uncertainty surrounding whether teenage winger Estevao will be available for Chelsea’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Arsenal.

The Brazilian youngster was absent from Saturday’s thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over West Ham after returning home on compassionate leave. Since Rosenior’s arrival, Estevao has been a regular presence in the side and has played a key role in Chelsea winning six of their seven matches under the new head coach.

The only setback so far in Rosenior’s reign came in the first leg of the semi-final, when Chelsea slipped to a narrow 3-2 defeat at home to Arsenal. Goals from Alejandro Garnacho in that match ensured the tie remains finely balanced, giving the Blues hope of overturning the deficit and reaching the final, where either Manchester City or Newcastle await.

Chelsea would undoubtedly benefit from Estevao’s involvement, but Rosenior stressed that the player’s well-being comes first and that no final call has been made. He explained that the 18-year-old is dealing with personal issues and insisted the decision would be based entirely on what feels right for the player, rather than any external pressure.

The Chelsea boss is also facing a potential setback with Jamie Gittens, who was forced off in the first half against West Ham with what appeared to be a hamstring problem. The extent of the injury is still being assessed. Gittens was one of four players withdrawn before the second half as Rosenior reversed his plan after making seven changes to the starting line-up.

Chelsea struggled badly in the opening period and went into the break two goals down, but a number of senior players were introduced and helped turn the game around. Despite the poor first-half display, Rosenior refused to single out the rotated side for criticism.

He made it clear that he does not believe in having a fixed strongest XI, explaining that the physical demands of top-level football require intelligent squad rotation across the season. Rosenior added that he is still learning about his players after only a few weeks in charge and focuses just as much on selecting the right substitutes as he does the starting line-up. According to him, the impact made by players coming off the bench has been decisive in every match so far, crediting their mindset and attitude rather than any tactical tweaks.
