Manchester United drew 1-1 at Fulham after Matheus Cunha’s late, deflected shot rescued a point for Michael Carrick’s side. The result prevented a third consecutive defeat following losses to Manchester City and Brighton, but extended United’s recent run of inconsistent performances and denied Fulham a first Premier League victory under Alvaro Arbeloa.

Fulham were the more urgent and creative team in the first half, with Josh King, Gonzalo García and Oscar Bobb threatening, although they failed to convert several chances. United struggled to create openings, particularly after Fulham retreated, while injuries forced Carrick to use Cunha as a false nine; Lisandro Martínez’s own goal had put Fulham ahead before Cunha’s late effort took a major deflection off David Affengruber and looped beyond Bernd Leno.
