Manchester United produced a breathtaking late show at Old Trafford, sealing a dramatic 3–2 victory over Fulham thanks to a stoppage-time winner from Benjamin Šeško.
The Red Devils started brightly and took the lead in the 19th minute when Casemiro powered home a header from a Bruno Fernandes corner. United controlled large spells of the first half, but Fulham remained dangerous on the counter.
United doubled their advantage shortly after the break as Matheus Cunha finished sharply at the near post to make it 2–0. However, Fulham refused to fold. A goal from Jorge Cuenca was ruled out for offside after a VAR check, but the visitors soon found a way back.
Softfootball reported that In the 85th minute, Raúl Jiménez calmly converted a penalty after Harry Maguire was penalised for a pull in the box, setting up a tense finale. Just when it seemed United might hold on, Fulham struck again in the 90th minute through Kevin Santos, whose curling effort flew into the top corner.
The drama was not over. With the clock deep into stoppage time, Bruno Fernandes surged down the right and delivered a perfect pass to Šeško, who controlled brilliantly before smashing an unstoppable shot into the top corner to send Old Trafford into raptures.
The win comes on the back of United’s majestic 3–2 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates, a result that cut the Gunners’ lead at the top of the Premier League to just four points and further underlined United’s resurgence.
Manchester United took to their official X handle to celebrate with an excited post that read:
“YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! 🔥”.
Following the latest triumph, Rio Ferdinand publicly backed Michael Carrick for the permanent Manchester United coaching job, praising the team’s belief, attacking intent, and late-game mentality under his guidance.
A night of chaos, character, and conviction and one that keeps United firmly in the race near the top of the table.
