BENJAMIN ON THE BUTTON

Carrick gets another winner from Red-hot striker Sesko

- BY IAN PARKER

BENJAMIN SESKO was at it again as Manchester United came from behind once more to strengthen their push for a Champions League return.

The Slovenian, handed his first start under Michael Carrick after becoming something of a super-sub, put United in front with a bullet header in the 65th minute to make it six goals in his last seven appearances.

And it was his second winning goal of the week after he scored in Monday's 1-0 victory at Everton.

His goal came just eight minutes after Bruno Fernandes levelled from the penalty spot, with Maxence Lacroix sent off after a long VAR check for pulling back Matheus Cunha. Lacroix went from hero to villain having been the man to have given Crystal Palace a fourth-minute lead.

This match was billed by some as a job interview for Oliver Glasner, still among the bookies' favourites for the United hotseat come the summer.

And he got much right as Palace had the better of the first half before Lacroix's red card tilted the game in United's favour.
