"Manchester United blew the chance to move up to fifth in the Premier League on Thursday when West Ham United salvaged a late 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. Soungoutou Magassa's 83rd-minute equalizer canceled out Diogo Dalot's opening goal that had put United on course to move level on points with fourth-place Chelsea. Bruno Fernandes squandered two chances to score a winner in added time -- blazing a shot wide from inside the box and then volleying another off target."
"And that looked likely when in the 58th Casemiro's long-range shot was controlled in the box by Dalot. The United defender then spun and powered a shot past West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. It was a game of few chances, with West Ham rarely threatening to find an equalizer. But a late corner saw Jarrod Bowen's flicked header cleared off the line by Noussair Mazraoui."
