Manchester United climbed to the fourth spot in the Premier League table after a 1-0 win over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium last night.
The Red Devils had a tough outing against the Toffees away from home, but managed to come on top after a late winner from Benjamin Sesko.
Sesko was surprisingly on the bench once more, but the Slovenian striker proved his credentials with a wonderful goal on the counter-attack.
The young striker earned plenty of plaudits from the club’s faithful. Goalkeeper Senne Lammens had an equally good game with four saves on the night.
The Belgian had two high claims with four punches. He also managed 11 recoveries with four clearances and was adjudged the man of the match.
Shortly after the victory, Lammens took to Instagram to express his delight with boxing glove emojis.
Several Man United stars praised the shot-stopper for his standout showing, including Harry Maguire, who said that he was ‘top class’.

Lammens has been a revelation between the sticks since making his United debut in October against Sunderland. He has kept five clean sheets.
The 23-year-old has hardly put a foot wrong in the Red Devils’ shirt, and he has been unfortunate at times with his defence letting him down instead.
United’s latest victory sees them three points clear of Chelsea and Liverpool in fourth. They will be eyeing another win against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils have had a poor recent record versus the Eagles, but won the reverse fixture (2-1). They will be aiming for a league double over the FA Cup holders.
Carrick has hardly made any changes to the XI. We anticipate just one switch with Sesko coming in for Amad Diallo. Bryan Mbeumo could move to the right wing for the Slovenian to lead the line.
