Manchester United’s recent resurgence under Michael Carrick was halted on Tuesday as West Ham United secured a valuable point in a tightly contested 1-1 draw. The result, salvaged by a late equalizer from Benjamin Sesko, brought an end to the Red Devils’ winning streak, leaving one particular supporter’s vow—to refrain from cutting his hair until the team achieves five consecutive victories—unfulfilled for the time being. For the Hammers, the hard-earned draw represents a significant boost in their ongoing battle to avoid relegation.
