Man Utd vs Fulham: Sesko rescues Carrick as Red Devils come out tops in 5-goal thriller

Manchester United reclaimed their place in the Premier League top four on Sunday afternoon, thanks to a late winning goal from substitute Benjamin Sesko.

Benjamin Sesko proved to be the ultimate super-sub on Sunday afternoon, scoring a dramatic 94th-minute winner to secure a 3–2 victory for Manchester United over Fulham.

Manchester United vs Fulham: How it happened

For much of the match, United appeared to be cruising toward a routine victory, against a shockingly underwhelming Fulham side, featuring Nigerians Samuel Chukwueze, and Alex Iwobi.

Casemiro opened the scoring in the 19th minute with a commanding header from a Bruno Fernandes free-kick, before Matheus Cunha doubled the advantage early in the second half with a clinical finish into the roof of the net.

However, the "Carrick momentum" was severely tested when Fulham staged a remarkable late rally.

Raúl Jiménez pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute after Harry Maguire was penalized for a tug in the box. Then, in the 91st minute, second-half substitute Kevin silenced the Stretford End with a stunning curling strike that looked to have stolen a point for the Cottagers.

With the game deep into nine minutes of added time, Benjamin Sesko, who had replaced Cunha earlier in the half, delivered his biggest moment in a United shirt.

He latched onto a low cross from the tireless Fernandes, took one touch to set himself before hammering a clinical finish into the top corner.
