Michael Carrick’s side were held to a stoppage-time draw with West Ham, while Spurs suffered a home defeat that brought manager Thomas Frank closer to an exit.

Benjamin Cesco helped Manchester United draw 1-1 with West Ham, ending Michael Carrick’s perfect start, while Tottenham’s 2-1 defeat at Newcastle moved manager Thomas Frank closer to exit after a string of poor results.

Substitute Sesco equalized in the 96th minute to pull United back a point at relegation-threatened West Ham United in the Premier League at the London Stadium on Tuesday.

United are fourth with 45 points from 26 games, while West Ham are two points from safety with 24 points from the same number of games.

The Hammers have boosted their chances of survival by keeping a Manchester United fan who vowed not to cut his hair until the Red Devils have won five games in a row.

United have enjoyed an impressive four-game winning streak since Michael Carrick took charge, prompting calls for the former midfielder, who was appointed until the end of the season, to take on the role on a more permanent basis.

But Nuno Espirito Santo’s side disrupted the attacking flow that Carrick’s side had shown in recent weeks against Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

At the beginning of the second half, Tomas Soucek took the lead from Jarrod Bowen’s cross.

But West Ham lost a priceless victory at the death when Sesco flicked in brilliantly from Brian Mbemo’s cross.

“We were definitely not at our best,” Carrick said.

“We were not sharp enough to find out. Great spirit again and we will seize on this and move on.”

Fifth-placed Chelsea drew 2-2 at home to Leeds United to move 2-0 up, but United remain fourth.

Tottenham boss Frank faces anger from fans

West Ham are just two points off safety, while Tottenham are currently just five points above the relegation zone in 16th place.

Disgruntled Spurs fans chanted “You’ll be sacked in the morning” after Frank failed to win for the 11th time in 13 home league games this season.

“We knew we weren’t on top and we needed to do whatever it took to get out of this,” Frank said.

“I understand the frustration and the easiest thing to do would be to blame me. Unfortunately, that’s part of the job.”

Malik Thiaw scored in first-half stoppage time to give Newcastle their deserved half-time dominance.

Archie Gray briefly equalized for Tottenham after the break but Jacob Ramsey soon restored Newcastle’s lead to hand them their third away league win of the season.

Chelsea vs.

Chelsea’s bid for Champions League qualification stalled after Leeds United launched a counterattack at Stamford Bridge.

João Pedro’s opener and Cole Palmer’s penalty put the Blues on course for a fifth straight league win since Liam Rogniol took over.

However, Moises Caicedo’s rash challenge on Jayden Bogle gave Lucas Nmecha the chance to give Leeds a penalty.

Noah Okafor’s equalizer after a goalmouth scramble further moved Leeds further away from the relegation zone.

“We gave Leeds a point,” said a frustrated Ronnie Orr.

“If we want to progress and get where we want to go, we have to make sure we stay switched on for 90 minutes. It’s that simple.”

Palmer missed an empty goal in stoppage time to help the team win the game, and Ronnie Orr could only hold his head in his hands.

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

Rayan and Amin Adderley scored for the Cherries, who are level on points with eighth-placed Everton.
