Manchester United escape with 1-1 draw at Fulham after late Cunha strike

skysports.com — September 20, 2026 at 11:01 PM UTC

Matheus Cunha's deflected 89th-minute strike earned Manchester United a 1-1 draw at Fulham, cancelling out Lisandro Martinez's own goal and easing pressure on manager Michael Carrick ahead of the international break. Martinez's 63rd-minute own goal, described by Sky Sports' Gary Neville as "a real mess," came after goalkeeper Senne Lammens parried Calvin Bassey's shot into the defender's path. United remain in the bottom half after five games, 10 points behind Manchester City, with their joint-worst start to a Premier League campaign. Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa remains winless in the league but moved off bottom on goal difference. United hit the post twice through Bruno Fernandes and Cunha, while Bernd Leno made several saves before being beaten by the late equaliser.
