Match progress
Fulham pressed MU after kick-off. Several opportunities could be spread by the host, which could be dampened by the back row of guests.
MU, who tried to get out of the pressure, immediately made a surprise. In the 14th minute Christian Eriksen scored a goal.
Starting from a ball controlled by Marcus Rashford, he passed it to Bruno Fernandes on the left. The Portuguese midfielder then immediately fired a shot at the far post, but the ball was instead headed by Christian Eriksen, who apparently narrowly hit a Fulham player.
Eriksen, who was free on the right side, managed to get the ball through into the Fulham goal. Score 1-0 for MU.
A buying and selling bout followed later. Both teams pressed each other and created a number of opportunities.
In the 27th minute, a Fulham attack threatened MU. Harry Wilson, who had the ball down the right wing, moved into the center and fired a powerful shot towards goal. De Gea quickly punched him, protecting his goal from pressure from the opponent.
Two minutes later, it was MU’s turn to threaten. Anthony Martial received the ball Fernandes sent in the penalty area, but his shot was still blocked by the Fulham rearguard.
In the remaining halftime of the first half, both Fulham and MU continued to press each other. In first-half stoppage time, Eriksen nearly doubled the score from a pass from Fernandes, but his shot narrowly missed Fulham’s goal. No more goals were created, MU’s 1-0 lead over Fulham held until the break.
In the second half, MU continued their pressure on Fulham. Two opportunities could be gained, through the actions of Anthony Elanga and Rashford, but Leno may be anticipating both of their efforts.
Fulham can also compensate. Two opportunities could be presented by Carlos Vinicius and Team Ream, but De Gea was also quick to secure MU’s goal.
Objective! Fulham finally leveled the score in the 61st minute. Daniel James, former MU player, who scored against the Red Devils.
Starting off a quick counterattack, Tom Cairney set the bait right in the middle. James could end up in goal. Score at 1-1.
Equalizing the score makes the game close again. Fulham, who are keen, may also come up with some further threats against MU. However, a bad finish to make some wasted opportunities.
MU, who was under pressure, then looked to include Alejandro Garnacho to increase his striking power. The young winger can be troublesome at times, although the Fulham rearguard can repress him.
Going into the last 10 minutes, both teams started to let the pressure go. However, several opportunities were created, thanks to the actions of Scott McTominay, which Bernd Leno was able to keep out.
Until the end, MU scored a goal in injury time. Alejandro Garnacho could have scored the winning goal for Erik ten Hag’s men.
Coming off an attack he built up from the left side, he partnered Eriksen, before unleashing a light kick on goal against Fulham. That goal marked the end of the game, which MU won over Fulham by a score of 2-1.
