Benjamin Šeško delivered a dramatic late winner as Manchester United edged past Fulham in a thrilling 3–2 encounter at Old Trafford, reclaiming their place in the Premier League top four in unforgettable fashion.
In front of a buzzing home crowd, the Red Devils showed resilience, attacking intent, and elite mentality—qualities that are becoming trademarks of their recent resurgence.
Fast Start Sets the Tone at Old Trafford
Manchester United came flying out of the blocks.
Amad Diallo tested the Fulham defence early, while Harry Maguire’s header forced a smart save. Fulham, however, were no pushovers, with Joachim Andersen and Samuel Chukwueze both coming close as the visitors pressed high.
The breakthrough arrived in the 20th minute.
After a lengthy VAR check, United were awarded a free-kick instead of a penalty. From the resulting delivery, Bruno Fernandes floated in a perfect ball, and Casemiro powered home a header to make it 1–0.
Casemiro and Cunha Double the Advantage
United continued dominating possession and tempo after the break. The pressure finally paid off again in the 56th minute when Casemiro slipped a clever pass into Matheus Cunha, who smashed an unstoppable finish past Bernd Leno for 2–0.
At that point, it looked like smooth sailing.
But Fulham had other ideas.
Fulham’s Stunning Comeback
The match turned on its head in the final minutes.
Harry Maguire conceded a penalty, which Raúl Jiménez calmly converted to reduce the deficit. Then, in the 92nd minute, Fulham produced a moment of magic—Kevin curled a sensational strike into the top corner after a quick one-two with Ryan Sessegnon.
Just like that, it was 2–2.
Old Trafford was stunned.
Šeško’s Last-Gasp Heroics
With seconds remaining, United pushed forward one last time.
Bruno Fernandes found Benjamin Šeško, who took one touch and rifled a shot into the top corner in the 94th minute.
Pandemonium.
The stadium erupted as United sealed a dramatic 3–2 victory, making it three straight league wins and lifting them back into fourth place.
