Sesko's Late Winner Seals Dramatic Manchester United Victory

Benjamin Sesko scored a stoppage-time winner to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory for Manchester United over Fulham at Old Trafford. The striker's pirouette and finish in front of the Stretford End capped a thrilling second half that saw three stunning goals.

Fulham had equalised through Kevin in the 87th minute, seemingly earning a point, but Sesko struck three minutes later. Bruno Fernandes crossed from the right, and the substitute's finish sparked ecstatic celebrations. Interim manager Michael Carrick described the moment as 'the best feeling', adding: 'There's no better place, in front of the Stretford End.'

The match featured controversial VAR decisions. Fulham manager Marco Silva criticised referee John Brooks for awarding a first-half penalty to United, which was overturned after VAR review but led to a free-kick. Casemiro scored from the resulting set piece. Silva called the decision 'horrendous' and 'terrible'.

Matheus Cunha had put United ahead with a spectacular strike, and Casemiro's opener was followed by a Fulham penalty from Raúl Jiménez. Despite the late drama, United secured their third consecutive victory under Carrick, continuing their revival.
