Benjamin Sesko continued his remarkable run of form as Manchester United came from behind to beat 10-man Crystal Palace 2-1, boosting their Champions League hopes.
The striker, handed his first start under caretaker manager Michael Carrick, scored the winner with a powerful header in the 65th minute. It was his sixth goal in seven appearances and his second winning goal of the week after his strike against Everton on Monday.
Bruno Fernandes had equalised from the penalty spot eight minutes earlier after Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix was sent off for pulling back Matheus Cunha following a lengthy VAR check. Lacroix had earlier given Palace a fourth-minute lead, turning from hero to villain.
The victory was Carrick's sixth in seven matches since taking over, lifting United to third place after Aston Villa's surprise defeat to Wolves. Palace manager Oliver Glasner, linked with the United job, saw his side dominate the first half before Lacroix's red card changed the game.
