Manchester United stole a 1-1 draw in injury time
at West Ham as Daley Blind cancelled out
Cheikhou Kouyate's excellent opening goal.
Daley Blind struck an injury-time equaliser as
Manchester United dramatically snatched a 1-1
Premier League draw at West Ham on Sunday.
Cheikhou Kouyate, slotting in at centre-back rather
than his customary midfield role due to a host of
defensive injury problems for West Ham manager
Sam Allardyce, teed himself up to volley
emphatically home four minutes into the second
half of what had been an attritional contest.
Despite fielding a side that boasted the esteemed
attacking talents of Robin van Persie, Radamel
Falcao, Wayne Rooney and Angel Di Maria,
Manchester United rarely threatened home
goalkeeper Adrian as they failed to dislodge
Southampton in third.
Blind cast himself as the visitors' unlikely goal
hero two minutes into added time, when West Ham
were unable to clear Marcos Rojo's speculative
punt forward.
Manchester United finished the match with 10 men
as full-back Luke Shaw collected a second
booking.
