WEEKEND UPDATES: MANCHESTER UNITED IN EPIC DRAW WITH WEST HAM



Manchester United have fallen to yet another draw in the EPL this season and in the process have fallen 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea. After the first half ended 1-1 with goals from Diafra Sakho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the second half failed to sparkle.

United's momentum from the first half was missing and even the introduction of Rooney and Mkhitaryan failed to liven up United's attack as West Ham defended in numbers.

Jesse Lingard had a goal correctly ruled out after he knocked in a rebound after Mkhitaryan's shot was parried on to the post by Randall. The United winger was clearly offside. Randall was very good and made 7 saves, including from a late Pogba effort.

West Ham also had a good chance when United Academy graduate Ashley Fletcher had a pop from close range but De Gea stood firm.

Ultimately, Mourinho's side have drawn 4 consecutive games at home for the first time in the Premier League era and one wonders whether United's title ambitions are all but over.
