Premier League: Manchester United 1-1 Fulham

Manchester United were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Fulham in their Premier League encounter, as both sides shared the spoils in a tightly contested match.

The Red Devils, eager to bounce back from inconsistent performances, started brightly and applied early pressure. Their persistence paid off when United found the breakthrough, capitalizing on a defensive lapse by Fulham. The opening goal briefly settled the home side, who looked in control as they dictated possession.

However, Fulham showed resilience and refused to be overawed. Marco Silva’s men grew into the game, creating chances of their own through quick counterattacks and sharp passing in the final third. Their efforts were rewarded when they equalized in the second half, punishing United’s defensive lapses with a well-taken goal.

The match remained open in the closing stages, with both sides pushing for a winner. United came close through a late flurry of attacks, but Fulham’s defense stood firm, and goalkeeper Bernd Leno pulled off key saves to preserve the point for the visitors.

The result leaves Manchester United frustrated, as they dropped valuable points in their pursuit of a top-four finish. For Fulham, the draw represents a hard-earned result on the road, further underlining their growing reputation as a side capable of troubling the league’s heavyweights.

United manager Erik ten Hag will likely view the draw as a missed opportunity, while Silva can take pride in his side’s disciplined display and fighting spirit.
