London: Netherlands midfielder Daley Blind smashed home an injury-time equaliser to rescue a point for Manchester United against West Ham in a pulsating Premier League game at Upton Park on Sunday.
West Ham's Cheikhou Kouyate opened the scoring with a stunning volley in the 49th minute, after controlling the ball from Mark Noble's lifted free kick, and spinning 180 degrees in the penalty box.
But Blind saved the visitors at the death after a speculative ball from Marcos Rojo was only partially cleared by the West Ham defense, and landed at the midfielder's feet to guide past goalkeeper Adrian.
With Arsenal losing and Manchester City and Liverpool drawing, United missed a chance to gain ground in the frenzied fight for Champions League qualification. United have dropped to fourth behind Southampton, and are only a point clear of Tottenham.
Burnley squandered another two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with West Bromwich Albion, while Newcastle and Stoke drew 1-1.
