A second-half header from Sesko sealed a come-from-behind 2-1 win for the hosts.
Carrick said of the centre-forward afterwards: “Absolutely delighted for Ben. It’s certainly not been a headache, it’s not been a big drama. He’s had a huge impact and he’s making big improvements. A little bit is getting used to what it is like to be here and the feelings and what it means to play.
"Things that we can take for granted at times. He’s desperate to do well, he works so hard, he’s an absolute pleasure to work with. Today, he started and it was it was an absolutely fantastic goal, he’s bringing an awful lot. We’ve got good flexibility across the top line. The front players can play different roles within the game, so there's a lot of flexibility there.
"Amad took some time out today but that may change again for Wednesday, but it’s good to have those options."
On what has clicked for Sesko, Carrick continued: “Building that relationship and that trust is important when you’re trying to help players and the team. That’s on Ben, he’s put the work in, he’s stayed positive, he knows how he wants to improve, he’s pretty clear on that, but he’s a good player, that’s why he’s here.
"He’s got some great strengths. He’s such a real threat. I’m really excited about where he can get to, without getting too carried away. He’s got huge potential, he's so young, it’s still early days but he’s doing fantastic at the moment.”
