Bruno Fernandes steals late winner to hand Man United vital win over Fulham
Bruno Fernandes delivered a crucial injury-time goal to secure a 1-0 victory for Manchester United against Fulham.
The Red Devils had been enduring a dismal run of form with recent 3-0 defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle.
The win at Craven Cottage gives United and Erik ten Hag a breath of fresh air.
The match got off to an eventful start when Marcus Rashford was sidelined due to a late fitness test, leaving United without a key player.
Scott McTominay appeared to give his team an early lead, but VAR ruled it out, citing Harry Maguire’s offside position in the build-up. Even when he didn’t touch the ball, VAR noted he was actively involved.
In the second, Anthony Martial’s ambitious overhead kick narrowly missed the target, causing United more frustration.
As injury time drew closer, Fulham had multiple opportunities to clear the danger, but it was Bruno Fernandes who capitalized on the situation.
The United captain found himself on the edge of the area, delivering a low finish that eluded Bernd Leno and secured the crucial victory for his team.
