Benjamin Sesko was once again the match-winner for Manchester United in the victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils found themselves behind early on against Crystal Palace before goals from Bruno Fernandes and Benjamin Sesko completed a second-half comeback.
Fernandes scored from the penalty spot before supplying a brilliant cross that was headed home by Sesko for his seventh goal in his last eight appearances.

In his post-match comments, Carrick said Sesko is settling in at United, and his performances are proving it.

“We’re Man United, and we’re never gonna stop!” wrote Sesko.
“Keep going, all together! Thanks for your support, Old Trafford!”
Strike partner Joshua Zirkzee was quickly in the comments, writing “Brate” – Slovenian for “brother”.
Benjamin Sesko on track for 15 goals this season
At the start of this season, Sesko scoring 15 goals in 2025/26 would have been considered a huge success for the young striker.
At the halfway point of the season, Sesko only had two Premier League goals to his name. But Sesko has been prolific in 2026, and he now has eight in the league.
With 10 games remaining in the Premier League this season, Sesko will hope to continue his incredible scoring streak.
In his last 10 league games, Sesko has scored six goals. If he can repeat those figures in the final 10 matches he can finish the season on an impressive 15 goals.
