FOOTBALL – MANCHESTER United striker Benjamin Sesko came to Michael Carrick’s rescue for the third time in four matches after arriving from the bench to score the only goal in the 1-0 victory at Everton.
The Slovenia striker has yet to start in the interim head coach’s six matches in charge but has now scored two winners and snatched a late equaliser to maintain Carrick’s unbeaten start.
He was made to wait until just before the hour mark to replace Amad Diallo but made an impact within 13 minutes by getting on the end of a direct counter-attack.
It was enough to secure a fifth win in six matches and move United into fourth, only three points behind Aston Villa.
He took his chance coolly in United’s first threatening moment since the fourth minute, when James Tarkowski cleared Diallo’s shot off the line after it had squirmed under goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
