Overview
- The 22-year-old came off the bench to turn in Bruno Fernandes' low cross in the 94th minute, clinching a 3-2 victory at Old Trafford just after Fulham had equalised.
- The result made it three wins from three for Carrick, who called it a "huge moment" and described the feeling as the best during his brief tenure.
- Sesko called the winner "emotional" and "unbelievable" as his form continues to improve following a slow start after a reported £74m move from RB Leipzig.
- Joshua Zirkzee sprinted to celebrate with Sesko, signaling strong dressing-room support despite ongoing competition for the striker role.
- Sesko joined a post-match warm-down led by coach Travis Binnion, whom Carrick credited for extra work, as Michael Owen said the goal will boost the striker's confidence and Wayne Rooney compared him to Hugo Ekitike.
