Cunha Rescues Manchester United With Stoppage-Time Equaliser at Fulham
Developing story first seen 42 minutes ago
Manchester United escaped a third consecutive defeat with a dramatic 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, sealed by Matheus Cunha's deflected goal in stoppage time. Fulham had edged ahead through an own goal by Lisandro Martinez but could not convert their dominance into victory, with the hosts creating several clear opportunities that went begging despite a commanding performance.
The result halts an unwelcome losing streak for Manchester United following defeats to Manchester City and Brighton, providing temporary relief for manager Michael Carrick. Fulham's failure to capitalise extends their search for a first Premier League win under Álvaro Arbeloa, with the draw marking a frustrating outcome for a side that controlled large periods of play yet remains unable to translate superiority into three points.
