Manchester United 3-2 Fulham: Sesko strikes secures thrilling victory after blowing two-goal lead
"Raul Jimenez and Kevin had silenced Old Trafford with two late goals to cancel out Casemiro and Matheus Cunha's strikes but Benjamin Sesko netted moments later in stoppage time to hand Michael Carrick his third straight win as United interim manager. The win lifts the Red Devils back into fourth in the Premier League as they matched top-four rivals Chelsea and Liverpool's victories on Saturday."
"United went ahead on 19 minutes after VAR overturned a penalty into a free-kick. Bruno Fernandes swung it to the back post and Casemiro powered a header into the corner. Fulham had spells of the ball and threatened without cutting through, with Senne Lammens saving from Harry Wilson's free-kick and blocking Joachim Andersen from close range, but their best moments came to nothing."
"The hosts then made it 2-0 on 56 minutes on the break, Casemiro threading a pass into the box for Cunha, who smashed a first-time finish into the roof of the net past Bernd Leno. Jorge Cuenca then thought he had reduced the deficit when he tapped home from close range following a deflection but a lengthy VAR check resulted in the goal being turned out for an extremely tight offside."
Manchester United overcame a late Fulham fightback to win 3-2 at Old Trafford, courtesy of Benjamin Sesko's stoppage-time goal. Casemiro opened the scoring and Matheus Cunha doubled the lead on the break in the second half. Fulham responded with late goals from Raul Jimenez and Kevin to level the match and force a tense finale. A lengthy VAR check disallowed a Fulham goal for a tight offside earlier in the second half. United withstood several Fulham chances before Sesko struck, moving the Red Devils back into fourth and extending Michael Carrick's perfect interim start.
