United leave it late to snatch point at West Ham

London - Daley Blind's injury-time equaliser rescued
a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against West Ham
United on Sunday but a point was not enough to
regain third spot in the Premier League.
West Ham created the better chances in a goalless
first half as Enner Valencia forced two neat saves
from David De Gea before James Tomkins had a
shot blocked by the Spanish stopper.
The Hammers' perseverance paid off at the start of
the second half when Cheikhou Kouyate scored a
neat volley after juggling the ball in the box.
United struggled to break West Ham down but
Radamel Falcao squandered an opportunity when
through on goal and Robin van Persie had a shot
well-saved by Adrian.
But with time running out West Ham failed to clear
their lines and Blind was on hand to guide the ball
home from the edge of the box.
A draw for United keeps them fourth on 44 points
from 24 matches, one behind Southampton, while
West Ham remain eighth with 37 points.
Earlier on Sunday, West Bromwich Albion came
from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with struggling
Burnley, while Peter Crouch's late equaliser for
Stoke City was enough to rescue a 1-1 draw against
Newcastle United.
