Outstanding performance
Manchester United•AttackerManchester United dominated territorially and statistically, out-shooting Fulham 22-12 and creating more dangerous attacks (59 to 30), but were repeatedly frustrated by a compact Fulham side who defended deep and hit on the counter. Fulham's opener came against the run of play, Lisandro Martínez inadvertently turning the ball into his own net in the 63rd minute after sustained pressure from an Iwobi effort and a resulting corner. United pushed hard for an equalizer, making three substitutions after the hour mark to freshen their attack, and their persistence paid off when Matheus Cunha curled home from outside the box in the 89th minute after Fulham conceded a needless free kick. For United, the point extends their unbeaten run and shows character in bouncing back from a self-inflicted setback, while Fulham will rue not converting their defensive discipline into a first Premier League win over their bigger rivals this season.

First Half begins.
Two struggling sides collide at Craven Cottage with Fulham rooted at the bottom and Manchester United under mounting pressure on Michael Carrick after a poor start. Both teams are desperate for a result to arrest their slides, making this relegation-zone vs mid-table clash far more tense than the table suggests.
