The wait continues as Manchester United fails to win fifth match in a row
From Tanko Bauka
The wait continues for a Manchester United fan who said he will not cut his hair until the club wins five matches in a row.
Manchester United were held to a one-all draw by West Ham United at the Olympic Stadium in London in a pulsating match as West Ham United fights to remain in the English Barclays Premier League.
West Ham United showed character and commitment as they continued to explore possible ways to avoid relegation to the Championship which is the second-tier league in England.
Manchester United came into the match on the backdrop of four straight unbeaten run under the tutelage of the Caretaker Coach, Michael Carrick and were full of confidence but met a different West Ham United ready to give everything just to survive and fortunately for the home side they took the lead through Tomas Soucek in the 50 minutes and when they were about to celebrate a priceless win Manchester United Benjamin Sesko who came in to replace Matheus Cunha struck a late leveler at 90+6 minute to deny West Ham United all the three points.
Now the said Manchester United fan has to wait a bit longer to see if the Red Devils will go five straight to have his wish granted.
For West Ham United the fight continue as they look likely to escape the drop, looking at other results in the league.
Chelsea playing at home at Stamford Bridge stadium gave up a two goals advantage to draw two all with Leeds United to the displeasure of the supporters.
Chelsea took the lead in the 22 minutes through Joao Pedro before Cole Palmer scored from a spot kick and Liam Rosenior and his boys were cruising to a win but Leeds United fought back through Lukas Nmecha and Noah Okafor to share the points with the home team.
Newcastle United compounded the woes of Thomas Frank and Tottenham Hotspur as they condemned them to a 2-1 loss and the fans apart from booing the team off the pitch are demanding the sacking of the head coach which they believe has not improved their team in any way since his appointment ten months ago.
Thomas Frank was brought in after the sacking of Ange Postecoglou who won Tottenham Hotspur the Europa League when he defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the final. Given the remarkable work at Brentford, many believe Thomas Frank is the right man to take Tottenham Hotspur to another level but injuries and poor results have retarded the progress of the club and it’s just a matter of time before he is shown the exit door.
AFC Bournemouth beat 10-man Everton 2-1 to boost their chances of playing in Europe next season.
