"Frank Ilett, the man who pledged never to visit a barber again until United won five matches in a row, has been denied a viral haircut, but their resilience came to the fore after the West Ham were denied what would have been a deserved victory deep into added time. A studded finish from fan favourite Tomas Soucek was cancelled out by a strike from Benjamin Sesko to leave this match honours even."
"Kicking off in a mist of tumbling rain that lent a sepulchral air to proceedings, the pace of the first half was also something the undead could relate to. Both teams looked well organised and up for the physical contest, but neither was willing to properly go at their opponent in what was a match with high stakes for both sides. The opening chance of the match came 13 minutes in, with Crysencio Summerville emerging from his left-hand pocket with a shift of the ball that took him past Diogo Dalot and Matheus Cunha."
Frank Ilett's vow not to visit a barber until Manchester United won five matches in a row ended as his planned viral haircut was denied when United drew 1-1 with West Ham. Tomas Soucek opened the scoring with a studded finish before substitute Benjamin Sesko struck late to salvage a draw. The match began in driving rain and featured a slow, physical first half with few clear openings until Crysencio Summerville's early chance and Bruno Fernandes's corner which led to Luke Shaw's near-goal blocked on the line by Aaron Wan-Bissaka. United lacked energy, and West Ham remain in 18th place, five points behind Tottenham.
