Cunha's Late Equaliser Rescues Point at Fulham
Matheus Cunha's deflected 89th-minute strike salvaged a 1-1 draw for Manchester United against Fulham, preventing what threatened to be another damaging defeat ahead of the international break. The late goal offered a lifeline after a generally poor performance that saw Fulham take the lead through an unfortunate own goal.
- Lisandro Martinez scored an own goal early in the second half, turning the ball into his own net from a rebound to give Fulham the lead.
- Bruno Fernandes hit the post in the first half, while Senne Lammens made several good saves to keep United in the game.
- Gary Neville offered a scathing assessment of the performance, highlighting a 'pathetic' 15-minute spell and urging Michael Carrick to stop defending the players.
- Michael Carrick disputed claims of a lack of fitness within the squad despite Matheus Cunha mentioning energy levels post-match, and explained the booed substitution of Kobbie Mainoo.
- Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa expressed frustration over perceived refereeing decisions, suggesting officials 'don't like' Manchester United to lose after the recent derby.
