Benjamin Sesko scored a dramatic 94th-minute winner as Manchester United defeated Fulham 3-2 at Old Trafford, evoking memories of Sir Alex Ferguson's era. The cameras instinctively panned to Ferguson in the stands, a hallmark of 'Fergie Time', as Sesko spun and fired a brilliant finish into the top corner.
Head coach Michael Carrick, overseeing his sixth match in charge, secured his third 3-2 victory, echoing his playing days. 'It's the best feeling,' Carrick said. 'Some of the best moments here I've been lucky enough to be a part of were when you get that elation.' The win lifts United back to fourth in the Premier League.
Sesko, who had been third-choice striker, described the moment as unbelievable. 'I've been dreaming about that,' he said. His winner capped a thrilling contest that saw United lead 2-0 before Fulham equalised through Raul Jimenez's penalty and a stunning strike from Kevin.
Casemiro scored United's first goal from a set piece and provided an assist, but his substitution allowed Fulham back into the game. Bruno Fernandes, restored to the No.10 role, provided two assists, including a dummy that set up Sesko's winner. Fulham manager Marco Silva criticised referee John Brooks for a 'horrendous' penalty decision earlier in the match.
