UNITED COMPLETE DRAMATIC VICTORY
Bruno Fernandes scored a dramatic winner in stoppage time to give under-pressure Manchester United a priceless 1-0 Premier League win against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
The United captain converted Facundo Pellistri's pass from the edge of the box in the first of five added minutes with a quality finish after Fulham failed to clear the danger to illuminate a largely forgettable match in London.
Erik ten Hag's toiling side had a goal ruled out early on by VAR after Harry Maguire was deemed to be offside in the build-up to a Scott McTominay finish from close range.
But they kept persevering with Fernandes sealing the three points to ease the pressure on the United coach after a dismal 3-0 home loss to Manchester City in the Premier League and a 3-0 dismantling by Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the League Cup last 16.

'I THINK WE DESERVED THE WIN'
Bruno Fernandes is happy with his lot after sealing the victory for United, who move up to sixth in the Premier League table on 18 points.
"We have to build the confidence, but I think the team understand now it is about getting results" said the Old Trafford captain. "We are Manchester United and we have to win every game."

DALOT WITH A LATE CHALLENGE ON WILSON
And he goes into the book for a crunching, crude challenge on WIlson. Will Fulham go for goal here? 22 yards out. Worth a pop you would think. But he drags the shot over the bar. Never really threatened.

WILSON JOINS THE PARADE OF BOOKINGS
For a late challenge on Garnacho. Not sure these are worthy of bookings, but there we go. Seems to be a yellow card every couple of minutes. All very stop-start.

A robust challenge with Bassey leaves the Scotland player winded. He is back on his feet seconds later to see Dalot drill a half-volley at goal. Whistles a few yards wide of the target.

FULHAM ON THE MOVE AGAIN
Bassey sets up Iwobi to throw over a dangerous cross, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka does well to clear the danger with Willian waiting to pounce on any error.

LENO WITH THE SAVE
Pellistri controls the ball well before working it onto his left foot. Can't really get the power into the final and easy enough take for the Fulham keeper.

BLISTERING HIT BY WILSON
But Onana does brilliantly to make the block with Pereira just failing to connect on the rebound. Fine passage of play from the Fulham perspective. We remain at 0-0.
