Man United player ratings: Two 8/10s awarded as Benjamin Sesko late heroics seal nail-biting win vs Fulham

A nail-biting affair between Manchester United and Fulham ended in huge celebrations at Old Trafford after Benjamin Sesko’s stoppage time goal secured a dramatic win for the Red Devils.

Michael Carrick’s winning run continues but it wasn’t made easy as United initially squandered a 2-0 lead. After goals from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha, Fulham found their way back into the game after Harry Maguire gave away a penalty and Raul Jimenez made no mistake from the spot.

Fulham then found an equaliser in injury time thanks to a stunning effort from Kevin as the away looked to take home a hard-fought point.

But substitute Sesko struck even later unto stoppage time to snub Kevin, who looked to be the hero for Fulham. The Slovenian forward whipped home a curling effort to make it 3-2 and send Man United fans into pandemonium.

Taking the match statistics from FotMob, here’s how each United player has been rated for their efforts against Fulham.
