Fulham vs Manchester United

Fulham and Manchester United shared the points in a tense Craven Cottage draw that felt like a missed opportunity for the hosts and a lucky escape for the visitors. United were second-best for long spells, and pundits were scathing about their sloppy first-half passing, but a stoppage-time twist spared them further embarrassment. Lisandro Martinez turned the ball into his own net in the 63rd minute after goalkeeper Senne Lammens could only parry David Affengruber's low drive into his path, sending Craven Cottage into raptures. United pushed for an equalizer late on, throwing on Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount, and got their reward in the 89th minute when Matheus Cunha's strike took a wicked deflection off Affengruber and looped beyond Bernd Leno. The draw leaves Manchester United with just five points from five games, one of their worst starts in years, though at least the international break arrives without a defeat added to the tally. Fulham, under new boss Alvaro Arbeloa, move off the bottom but remain without a league win.
