Sesko delivers again for Manchester United
Benjamin Sesko was the match-winner again as Manchester United fought back to beat 10-man Crystal Palace 2-1 at Old Trafford, after Maxence Lacroix's red card.
Lacroix put Palace ahead after just four minutes, outmuscling Leny Yoro before superbly planting a header into the far post from Brennan Johnson's corner.
United struggled to get going in the first half, with its best chance seeing Casemiro nod just wide of the bottom-right corner, but the game changed early in the second period.
Lacroix was caught too tight to Matheus Cunha and dragged the Brazilian down just inside the area, and, after United were awarded a penalty, a VAR review made things even worse for the Palace centre-back as he was dismissed for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Bruno Fernandes made no mistake from the spot in the 57th minute, and the United captain then turned provider for the winning goal eight minutes later.
His delivery from deep on the right flank was brilliantly headed into the bottom-right corner by Sesko, who also netted the decisive goal against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Casemiro and Amad Diallo drew further saves from Henderson as United dominated the closing stages, but the Red Devils did not require a third goal as they cruised to victory.
Michael Carrick remains unbeaten across his two spells as United's interim boss, and the victory takes his team to third in the Premier League table, leapfrogging Aston Villa on goal difference.
