Manchester United’s Benjamin Sesko struck deep into stoppage time in a dramatic 3-2 Premier League victory over Fulham on Sunday as the home side continued their revival under interim boss Michael Carrick.

The win lifted United to fourth in the standings with 41 points and added another statement to Carrick’s reign, following victories over Manchester City and leaders Arsenal. Fulham fell to eighth place.

United led 2-0 after goals from Brazilians Casemiro in the 19th minute and Matheus Cunha in the 56th. But Fulham fought back, with Raul Jimenez scoring from the penalty spot in the 85th, before Kevin celebrated what he believed was the equalizer in the 91st minute.

But Sesko had the Old Trafford crowd roaring in the fourth minute of stoppage time after Bruno Fernandes touched the ball past Fulham’s Calvin Bassey and then picked out the Slovenian striker in the penalty area so he could smash it into the top corner.
