Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko continued his prolific scoring run as the club secured a 2-1 comeback victory over Crystal Palace, lifting them to third in the Premier League.
Making his first start in seven games under manager Michael Carrick, the Slovenian striker justified his £74 million price tag by netting the winning goal.
The result keeps United unbeaten during Carrick’s tenure, with the team collecting an impressive 19 points from a possible 21 as they push for a return to the Champions League.
The match at Old Trafford began with a setback for the hosts when Maxence Lacroix outmuscled Leny Yoro to head Palace into an early lead.
However, the momentum shifted dramatically just before the hour mark when Lacroix was sent off for a foul on Matheus Cunha inside the box.
Bruno Fernandes stepped up to calmly convert the resulting penalty against former teammate Dean Henderson before later providing the curling cross that Sesko powered home for the winner.
Sesko has now scored seven times in his last eight appearances, effectively silencing early-season critics.
While Manchester United celebrated their ascent, the situation grew increasingly dire for Tottenham Hotspur.
Following a 2-1 defeat at Fulham, interim boss Igor Tudor admitted the club faces “big problems” as they sit just four points above the relegation zone.
Goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi gave Fulham a deserved lead, and despite a late consolation header from Richarlison, Spurs remain the only Premier League side without a win in 2026.
Elsewhere in the relegation struggle, Nottingham Forest missed an opportunity to pull away from the drop zone after a 2-1 loss at Brighton.
Early goals from Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck secured the points for the Seagulls, leaving Forest just two points clear of danger ahead of a difficult midweek fixture against Manchester City.
The day’s results have significantly heightened the stakes for the evening’s marquee matchup between league leaders Arsenal and Chelsea.
