Premier League round-up:
Man United beat Fulham in Fergie time
Benjamin Šeško’s emphatic stoppage-time winner sealed Michael Carrick’s third straight victory as Manchester United edged Fulham 3-2 at a lively Old Trafford.
After earlier wins over Manchester City and Arsenal, United appeared to have let another victory slip when late Fulham goals from Raul Jimenez and Kevin cancelled out efforts from Casemiro and Matheus Cunha.
However, Šeško kept his composure in stoppage time, firing home in front of the Stretford End to restore Carrick’s perfect start.

Spurs stun Man City with a memorable comeback
Tottenham produced a thrilling second-half comeback to draw 2-2 with Manchester City, denting Pep Guardiola’s side and boosting Arsenal’s title hopes.
City appeared in control after first-half goals from Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, but Spurs responded after the break. Marc Guéhi’s own goal gave the hosts a lifeline before Dominic Solanke’s superb backheel equalised.
Both sides pushed for a winner, but the points were shared, leaving City six points behind league leaders Arsenal.
