Manchester United's Michael Carrick continued his perfect start as head coach with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Fulham. Benjamin Sesko's late winner in stoppage time sealed the three points for the hosts, sending the Old Trafford faithful into raptures.
The match got off to a blistering pace, with Manchester United dominating possession and finding the back of the net through Anthony Martial on 11 minutes. However, Fulham equalized within five minutes when Aleksandar Mitrovic slotted home from close range after a slick combination play.
Fulham took control in the second half, with Ivan Toney scoring twice to give his side a 2-1 lead by halftime. But United refused to be silenced, and they responded with two goals of their own before Sesko snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
In the 86th minute, Mason Greenwood's low shot was parried by Fulham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, only for Sesko to pounce on the loose ball and slot it past the goalkeeper in stoppage time. The crowd erupted as Sesko celebrated his dramatic winner, securing a thrilling 3-2 victory for Manchester United.
Carrick's side are now second in the Premier League table, with Fulham slipping down to 11th. Despite the setback, Boro Yovetic's Fulham showed signs of life and will be eager to bounce back against a struggling West Ham next time out.

I was thinking, if you're not having fun while you're trying to achieve something, are you even doing it right? And what's with all this pressure on managers like Michael Carrick to keep their teams winning streaks alive? Don't they deserve a break to figure out who they are as a team?
Manchester United's Carrick is on fire! his team played so well, they really deserved that win. I love how they didn't give up even when it seemed like Fulham was gonna take the lead. 2-2 at halftime and then BAM! two more goals for United. Sesko's winner is insane 
The way he just pounced on that loose ball was amazing!
That crowd must've gone wild! And I feel bad for Fulham, they played so well in the second half, but just couldn't hold on. Yovetic and co will need to bounce back strong against West Ham next time out!

️. I mean, you can't write a script like that - a back-and-forth match with multiple goals and equalizers. It's what makes football so unpredictable and exciting!
. Carrick's team played some really good football too, dominating possession and creating a lot of chances. They're definitely making some noise in the league now 
.
, Fulham's performance was quite the opposite - they looked like they were struggling to cope with Manchester United's pressure. Hopefully, they can get their act together soon...
️. Mason Greenwood's shot was like, so close to being a winner 
! And what about Anthony Martial's goal? He's been on fire lately 
. Carrick's coaching skills are getting better and better 
. The fans at Old Trafford were going wild 
! I'm loving the drama and excitement in this Premier League season 
, so they'll be back stronger next time out 
.
that benjamin sesko lad is a genius though, i mean who gets a winner in stoppage time? 
mason greenwoods shot was so close!! i think carrick is doing a great job as head coach, he's really getting the team to gel together... even tho they lost their first player ben yedlin it seemed like they had more possession and attacks than fulham... maybe they just need 1 or 2 more signings? lol boro yovetic needs to sort out that defense stat
