Man Utd 1-2 Fulham: Player ratings as late Iwobi strike stuns Red Devils
Manchester United fell to a bitterly disappointing defeat on Saturday as Fulham ran out deserved 2-1 winners at Old Trafford.
Despite a thoroughly entertaining and open first half in Manchester, neither side managed to grab the lead heading into the break. However, Calvin Bassey would open the scoring after the restart, with Harry Maguire producing an 88th-minute equaliser.
But there was one more twist at Old Trafford, with Alex Iwobi converting a wonderful Fulham counter-attack in the seventh minute of stoppage time to claim all three points for the visitors and stun the Erik ten Hag's side.
Man Utd were aiming to make it five Premier League wins on the bounce when they welcomed Fulham to Old Trafford, but it was the visitors who made the brighter start to proceedings, with Iwobi putting two early shots just wide of Andre Onana's post.
Rodrigo Muniz was the next Fulham player to threaten the Man Utd goal, his near-post header forcing a save from Onana. The Cameroonian could only push the effort straight into the path of Sasa Lukic, but the ball ricocheted off the midfielder's midriff and trickled wide.
Despite Fulham's early dominance, the hosts came incredibly close to taking the lead before the half hour mark. The Cottagers failed to deal with a Bruno Fernandes free kick, with the ball eventually finding Alejandro Garnacho in the box and the Argentine seeing his effort headed off the line by Antonee Robinson.
Both sides were showing plenty of threat in the final third as the game began to open up towards the latter stages of the first half, with Diogo Dalot and Muniz striking the woodwork within two minutes of one another following sharp efforts.
