Sesko Delivers Again as Man United Edge Everton to Extend Unbeaten Run

Story: Written by springnewsng February 24,2026
Benjamin Sesko was once again the difference as Manchester United secured a hard-fought 1–0 away win over Everton, continuing their strong run under manager Michael Carrick.
The first half offered little excitement, with both sides cancelling each other out and struggling to carve out clear chances, sending the game into the interval goalless. The tempo remained cagey after the restart until Sesko, introduced from the bench, struck with under 20 minutes remaining to finally break the deadlock.
Everton responded with sustained late pressure, pinning United back and testing goalkeeper Senne Lammens, but the visitors held firm to preserve a clean sheet and claim all three points.
Sesko’s influence continues to grow, with the forward once again delivering in a decisive moment. Having already netted late goals against Fulham and West Ham, his latest strike could prove crucial in United’s push for Champions League qualification. His animated celebration further fuelled calls for a regular starting role.
The victory keeps United unbeaten since Carrick took charge, recording five wins and one draw, and moves them up to fourth place, three points clear of both Chelsea and Liverpool. While the performance was not fluent, the result strengthens their top-four credentials.
For Everton, the defeat compounds a difficult spell. David Moyes’s side have now suffered consecutive league losses and remain without a home win since early December. The Toffees stay ninth on 37 points, still in the hunt for Europe but missing the chance to close the gap on the Champions League places.
