"Manchester United produce stunning winner to beat Fulham 3-2 in Premier League thriller at Old Trafford. Manchester United interim manager Michael Carrick extended his perfect start as Benjamin Sesko's stoppage-time strike sealed a pulsating 3-2 win over Fulham on Sunday. United took the lead through Casemiro's first-half header and looked in command when Matheus Cunha netted after the interval at Old Trafford."
"In an incredible finale, Raul Jimenez's penalty with five minutes left gave Fulham hope before Kevin's wonder-goal hauled the visitors level in stoppage time. To United's immense credit, they hit straight back as the much-maligned Sesko's fourth goal in his last four games sealed Carrick's third successive victory. After new manager Carrick masterminded surprise wins over Manchester City and Premier League leaders Arsenal, this remarkable encounter suggested the former United midfielder might have the Midas touch."
"Unbeaten in their last seven league matches, United moved up to fourth place as their bid to qualify for next season's Champions League gathers pace. Reaching the Champions League would be a significant statement for Carrick, who was sacked by second-tier Middlesbrough last year. Only once in former manager Ruben Amorim's turbulent 14-month reign did United win three games in a row. And Carrick has matched that run within weeks of his appointment until the end of the season."
Manchester United secured a 3-2 win over Fulham at Old Trafford when Benjamin Sesko scored a stoppage-time winner. Casemiro gave United an early lead with a first-half header and Matheus Cunha doubled the lead after the interval. Raul Jimenez converted a late penalty to make it 2-1 and Kevin scored a stoppage-time equaliser for Fulham before Sesko completed his fourth goal in four games. Interim manager Michael Carrick extended his perfect start with a third successive victory, leaving United unbeaten in seven league matches and rising to fourth, strengthening their bid to reach next season's Champions League. Hundreds of fans protested outside the stadium against the club's owners.
