"Sesko, handed his first start under Michael Carrick after becoming something of a super-sub, put United in front with a bullet header in the 65th minute to make it six goals in his last seven appearances, his second winning goal of the week after he scored in Monday's 1-0 victory at Everton."
"His goal came just eight minutes after Bruno Fernandes levelled from the penalty spot, with Maxence Lacroix sent off after a long VAR check for pulling back Matheus Cunha. Lacroix went from hero to villain having been the man to have given Palace a fourth-minute lead."
"Instead Carrick emerged with his own case strengthened further, a sixth win in seven since he took over lifting United up to third place after Aston Villa's surprise defeat to Wolves on Friday night."
Manchester United came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 2-1 in a match that served as a potential audition for managerial candidates. Crystal Palace took an early lead through Maxence Lacroix's header in the fourth minute, but United equalized when Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty after Lacroix was sent off following a VAR review for fouling Matheus Cunha. Sesko, making his first start under Michael Carrick, secured the victory with a header in the 65th minute, extending his goal tally to six in seven appearances. The win marked Carrick's sixth victory in seven matches, lifting United to third place, while Palace remained in the bottom half despite a strong first-half performance.
