Why Man United Were So Much BETTER Against Arsenal

Fulham earned themselves a point in the late Sunday kick off in a tense and close affair with Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim’s men hoped to bring some confidence from their meeting with Arsenal into the game and started brilliantly with Matheus Cunha the biggest threat as he struck the woodwork. They should have gone ahead in the first half but Bruno Fernandes missed a penalty and kept the match level.

In the second half, Leny Yoro leapt highest from a corner and headed the ball ontothe back of Rodrigo Muniz for a deflected own goal which sent the visitors ahead.

The Cottagers responded strongly however and Emile Smith Rowe came off the bench, found a yard of space in the box and turned home an equaliser from Alex Iwobi’s cross. Neither side could then force a winner and the points were shared at Craven Cottage.

Dispiriting draw with Fulham sees familiar woes resurface for Manchester United

A new season for Manchester United, but old problems remain. In contrary to the relative optimism of last week’s defeat to Arsenal, a timid performance in a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage leaves more questions than answers.

So much has happened since the chastening night in Bilbao, not least the arrival of three marquee signings and a spend of over £200m. And yet this was a performance that was eerily similar to those at the tail-end of last season, even if a couple of players offered some real promise in parts.
