In the 26th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United drew 1-1 away to West Ham. For the "Red Devils," this game came back to life at the "end" moment: in the 90+6th minute, Benjamin Sheshko pulled his team out of defeat in the final seconds, allowing them to return from London with a valuable point.

While the Manchester side held control in some parts of the game, they failed to demonstrate the expected level of sharpness and final shots in decisive moments.
