"Sesko, handed his first start under Michael Carrick after becoming something of a super-sub, put United in front with a bullet header in the 65th minute to make it six goals in his last seven appearances, his second winning goal of the week after he scored in Monday's 1-0 victory at Everton."
"His goal came just eight minutes after Bruno Fernandes levelled from the penalty spot, with Maxence Lacroix sent off after a long VAR check for pulling back Matheus Cunha. Lacroix went from hero to villain having been the man to have given Palace a fourth-minute lead."
"Instead Carrick emerged with his own case strengthened further, a sixth win in seven since he took over lifting United up to third place after Aston Villa's surprise defeat to Wolves on Friday night."
