Manchester United missed the opportunity to climb to fifth in the Premier League as they squandered a lead against West Ham at Old Trafford.
Diogo Dalot's goal just shy of the hour mark seemed set to secure back-to-back Premier League victories for Ruben Amorim, but their momentum was halted once more.
Despite a promising start, West Ham had posed little threat until they found an equaliser from a corner, with Soungoutou Magassa firing home after Noussair Mazraoui had made a clearance off the line.

Here are the player ratings from Old Trafford:
Senne Lammens, 6 - Aside from one errant kick in the first half, he was solid. He didn't have much to do, but his handling was secure when Bowen's shot was deflected his way. He couldn't do anything about the goal.
Noussair Mazraoui, 6 - Solid on his return to the team. A crucial late block and a goal-line clearance that deserved better than the rebound resulting in a goal.
Ayden Heaven, 4 - His first Premier League start of the season was one to forget. Callum Wilson exploited his lack of experience; he got too close at times and received a yellow card for a reckless tackle on Jarrod Bowen, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Luke Shaw, 6 - For the most part, he defended well and saw a lot of the ball in the second half as United searched for an opening, but a lack of height at the back was exposed.
Amad, 7 - Created a chance for Joshua Zirkzee with quick footwork and looked like making things happen again. Needs to get the ball high up the pitch to really influence the game.

Casemiro, 6 - His performance on the ball left something to be desired and he failed to bring the calmness United needed. Managed an assist, but it seemed more luck than skill.
Bruno Fernandes, 6 - Showed good range of passing in the first half and deserved better from his teammates, but his attacking threat was limited.
Diogo Dalot, 7 - Had a tough time against Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the first half but displayed excellent composure to score his goal.
Bryan Mbeumo, 6 - Looked the most likely of the front three to find the net and forced Alphonse Areola into a decent save, but should have capitalised on a second-half opportunity.
Matheus Cunha, 6 - Failed to shine on his return to the team. Had a few nice touches but seemed somewhat lost in his role and didn't pose much of a threat.
Joshua Zirkzee, 7 - Did well to force Wan-Bissaka into a goalline clearance in the first half and his link-up play was impressive at times, including one superb pass to Mbeumo.

Substitutes:
Leny Yoro, 6 - Looked unsure under an early high ball and seems to be lacking confidence currently.
Patrick Dorgu, 6 - Made a promising run after replacing Dalot and will be happy with his solid cameo.
