Fernandes strikes late as Man Utd win 1-0 at Fulham

Successive 3-0 home defeats in Manchester United’s worst start to a season since 1962

Manchester United stopped the rot as captain Bruno Fernandes struck in the 90th minute for a vital 1-0 victory at Fulham in the early Premier League game at Fulham on Saturday.

The game was petering out into a lackluster stalemate when Fernandes latched on to a loose ball on the edge of the area and drilled a pinpoint low shot inside the post.

Successive 3-0 home defeats in Manchester United’s worst start to a season since 1962 had piled pressure on manager Erik ten Hag and victory at Craven Cottage will release that somewhat.

A third successive narrow away win in the league lifted United to sixth with 18 points from 11 games ahead of the rest of the weekend program. Fulham, who had 18 goal attempts but only two on target, are down in 14th with 12 points.

The only talking point of a mundane first half was Scott McTominay’s disallowed goal for United after seven minutes.

Christian Eriksen’s flighted free kick was turned across the area by Alejandro Garnacho and McTominay arrived to convert.

A 0-0 draw would have done little to lift the Manchester United gloom but Fernandes at least gave the visiting fans something to cheer with his well-timed intervention.
