Manchester United escaped Craven Cottage with a 1-1 draw against Fulham, rescued by a heavily deflected 89th-minute goal after a dismal performance. The result leaves them with another case of dropped points in the league. Fulham took a surprise lead in calamitous circumstances when Lisandro Martinez inexplicably tapped the ball into his own net after Calvin Bassey's shot was saved. United goalkeeper Senne Lammens had earlier made several impressive stops to keep his side in the match. United's equalizer came through pure fortune as a deflected Cunha shot found the net late on. The away side had struggled to create clear chances, with Marcus Rashford wasteful in front of goal throughout the match.
