Man United vs Fulham live: Sesko scores stoppage-time winner as hosts survive late Fulham fightback

Fulham boss Marco Silva is deeply unhappy about VAR’s involvement in today’s game. He tells Sky Sports: “The story of the game started with a horrendous terrible decision from John Brooks with the penalty he gave [United]. Horrendous decision from that moment, big, big mistake. It was the first time we saw all the Premier League fans and us coaches and players. We have to take all this frustration to win the next one.

“The penalty was given by the tackle. After, because the decision was so bad, they found a different foul [to award the free-kick].

“I feel my players, I feel our fans but we have to respect and the people in charge. I know why the penalty was given. VAR went in a completely different direction to find something to find a free-kick that was not the reason why the penalty was given.”

Has he spoken to the officials? “I don't want to get more cards because I want to be on the touchline. I don't want to speak more.”

He picked up his fifth yellow of the season for remonstrating after that incident.

Sesko pays tribute to Casemiro, who kicked off United’s goalscoring today: “He is an unbelievable player, a legend. It is nice to play with him and it is also nice to listen to his advice. His work rate is unbelievable and he gives all his teams a boost. We are grateful to have him with us.”

Asked about Michael Carrick’s message to his players about playing with freedom, Sesko continues: “It's true, he has said these things many times to the team. That's exactly what we are doing. But it's not just that, you can see how much we work hard for each other without the ball and that also contributes to good results in the end. The work rate is definitely different. Everyone is on point and covering their spaces. In the end, that's what counts.

“The aim is to continue like this. We want to focus on our work and what we have to do. We have work hard like we are and focus in every moment. All of this is going to lead to great results.”

Benjamin Sesko tells Sky Sports: “That was unbelievable. Scoring at home and scoring the winner is unbelievable. I've been dreaming about that and dreaming that I can do that.

“We all know as a team how important these results are. We are on a really great run right now and we are just hoping that we can continue to work hard like that to win games. I'm really happy that I could help the team out. We can continue our streak now.”

Emile Smith Rowe continues: “This is football. We can't do much, all we can do is try to perform as best we can. It felt like some decisions didn't go our way but it's football at the end of the day.

“We want to do that every game, we want to compete, fight and show our best on and off the ball. I felt we got a bit unlucky today. We still have a lot to play for. We are still in the cups and have had a good season so far.”

Emile Smith Rowe tells Sky Sports; “Really frustrating. I thought the boys fought really hard today to get back into the game. It's a bit annoying to concede straight after equalising.”

What did boss Marco Silva say? “We have to stick together at this moment in time. Coming here we knew it was going to be tough. We have to go again and stick together.”

With that result United are up to fourth in the Premier League, with top-four rivals Aston Villa losing to 10-man Brentford. Here are the scores from the rest of the early kick-offs:

Nottingham Forest 1-1 Crystal Palace

Aston Villa 0-1 Brentford

Spurs v Man City still to come.

‘90+11: United are into the top four, and the winning run under Michael Carrick continues!

Gutting for Fulham, who hauled themselves back into it from 2-0 down.

‘90+10: Jimenez lofts in a cross but it drifts out of play. Lammens takes his sweet time with the resulting goal kick. The crowd are in fine voice.
