A dying-minute strike from Slovenia forward Benjamin Sesko secured a draw for the Red Devils against West Ham
The Premier League clarified why the Brazilian equaliser was cancelled after a VAR review
Benjamin Sesko ensured Manchester United remained unbeaten under interim manager Michael Carrick after denying West Ham victory on Tuesday, February 10.
The Slovenia international scored a dramatic equaliser in the 90+6th minute after coming on for Matheus Cunha in the 69th minute of the tightly contested encounter at the London Stadium.
Sesko secures a vital point for United
West Ham took the lead in the 50th minute through Czech midfielder Tomas Soucek, following a frustrating first half. Manchester United responded strongly but initially struggled to break down the hosts’ defence.
In the 63rd minute, Brazilian midfielder Casemiro thought he had equalised with a header, only for the goal to be ruled out after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review, per Sofa Score.
Carrick then introduced Benjamin Sesko, Leny Yoro, and Joshua Zirkzee, a triple change that shifted the momentum in United’s favour.
Deep into stoppage time, Sesko found the net from close range, converting a cross from the right flank by Cameroon international Bryan Mbeumo to earn the Red Devils a crucial point, per BBC.
The Slovenian striker has now scored two goals in his last three appearances since joining from RB Leipzig.
Why Casemiro’s goal was cancelled
The Premier League insists that Brazilian midfielder Casemiro’s goal against West Ham United was offside.
In a tweet on X, the PL provided a video evidence of Casimero’s knee and arm slightly beyond the last defender following a cross from Kobbie Mainoo in the 64th minute. The statement read:
“VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Casemiro was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed.”
Fans have questioned why Casemiro’s strike against West Ham last night was ruled offside, when a very similar goal scored by Florian Wirtz against Fulham in January was allowed.
