Matheus Cunha showed shooting excellent in thrilling 3-2 win over Fulham | OneFootball

Manchester United left it late to seal a 3-2 win over Fulham in what was a dramatic encounter.

While there was cause for concern due to Manchester United losing a two-goal lead, the team showed the relentless determination they needed to grab a stoppage-time winner.

Even though their defending was notably flawed, the home side’s attacking display was downright impressive.

One of the key players who lifted United to victory was pacy winger Matheus Cunha.

Announcing his intent

While United went into half time with a one-goal lead, Cunha impressively doubled the hosts’ tally with a fiery snapshot.

Still, it was not only his goal that showed just how impressive the Brazilian was.

Cunha proved to be a constant threat on the attack, taking two shots with one on target while executing nine progressive carries. Still, these were not the only positive aspects of his game.

Cunha’s game in numbers

The winger won three of seven ground duels along with one of three aerial battles.

He managed to pull off one tackle while proving to be a decent passer of the ball.

Of Cunha’s 20 passes, 16 reached their target (80% passing accuracy), while he also made one key pass.

While he attempted one cross and one long ball, he was unable to convert either.

Given that he had just 32 touches, Cunha was an impressive member of the squad, making his limited time on the ball count.
