Manchester United striker Benjamin Šeško has urged the club to find the positives despite a painful draw against Everton. United had to share the spoils with Everton after Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored a stunning goal in the 96th minute of stoppage time.
Substitute Benjamin Sesko scored in the 88th minute for the Red Devils to give them the lead and many thought the goal would seal three points for United. But the hosts were able to bounce back to steal a point.
Earlier, Bryan Mbeumo scored in the 47th minute after a goalless first half. However, Tyrique George equalised for the home team and thus in the last 13 minutes, three goals were scored by both teams, with Everton scoring twice.
“We’re disappointed of course because we were very close yet so far,” United striker Šeško said. “To concede a goal like this, especially in those last, last minutes, it happens the way it did, it’s painful for everyone because everyone was giving everything trying to win the game because we really want [to win].
“Every single person here wants that and then in the moments like this, when this last kind of shot decides [the game], it’s just very, very painful.
“It’s really important to take everything as positive, even though it’s not the best option from today.
“But just to see the game in a good light, try to improve and focus for the next game and try to win the next game. That’s the way it is.”
Šeško has been struggling with the shin injury, which he suffered in May. The Slovenian footballer has made three substitute appearances for the club this season after missing the preseason action.
“For me, obviously it’s the best feeling when I’m scoring, especially for the club like that,” Šeško told MUTV.
“When I can provide the goals, when I can provide the points for the team. It’s my job in the end of the day. It’s nice to be back, to be with the team, to experience all the games again.
“Of course, I would wish that, especially today we would win that. It would be very nice, but we can’t change that.”
United will next take on Sabah in the UEFA Champions League on Thursday.
