Premier League: Šeško Secures Winner As Manchester United Break Into Top Four

Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško proved to be Michael Carrick’s saviour for the third time in four matches, coming off the bench to net the decisive goal in a hard-fought 1-0 victory at Everton.

The Slovenia international is yet to start under the interim head coach’s six-game tenure, but has now delivered two winning goals and a late equaliser, preserving Carrick’s unbeaten start.

Introduced just before the hour mark as a replacement for Amad Diallo, Šeško made an immediate impact, converting a direct counter-attack within 13 minutes – a rare moment of attacking incision from the visitors.

This crucial strike secured United’s fifth win in six matches, propelling them into fourth place, just three points adrift of Aston Villa.

Šeško dispatched his chance with cool precision, marking United’s first real threat since the fourth minute when James Tarkowski cleared Diallo’s shot off the line after it had squirmed beneath Jordan Pickford.
