Man United vs Fulham live score, result, updates, highlights, lineups as Iwobi injury time strike stuns Old Trafford
MANCHESTER, OLD TRAFFORD — Alex Iwobi's 97th-minute winner ruined Manchester United's unbeaten start to 2024 as Fulham came away from Old Trafford with three points.
It's the second time in the Premier League era that Marco Silva's men have beaten United on their own patch. Their most recent league win at Old Trafford came more than two decades ago in 2003. It was also only the Cottagers' second away league win of the season.
Erik ten Hag's side thought they'd salvaged a point when Harry Maguire smashed home the equaliser in the 89th minute. Bernd Leno parried Bruno Fernandes' long-range effort into the path of the centre-back who made no mistake.
Calvin Bassey initially gave Fulham the lead as he found the roof of the net from a corner. His teammate, Timothy Castagne, blocked his first effort, but the ball fell kindly for the Nigeria international to thump past Andre Onana.
It was United's first match since injuries to Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund, two key players, and it showed. Aston Villa's win over Nottingham Forest sees Ten Hag's men eight points off the Champions League qualification places.
