One of the most dramatic moments came just before halftime when Bruno Fernandes stepped up for a penalty. Unfortunately for United, it was missed spectacularly, sailing high and wide. That moment seemed to encapsulate United’s struggles so far this season—plenty of effort, but the finishing touch was missing. Meanwhile, Fulham remained composed, never panicking, and patiently waiting for their opportunity.
The second half saw changes on both sides. Manchester United finally broke the deadlock in the 58th minute when Leny Yoro’s header found the net, although replays later showed it was a deflection off a Fulham player. United fans had reason to cheer, but the lead wouldn’t last. Fulham responded brilliantly. Substitutes played a huge role, with Emile Smith Rowe scoring almost immediately after coming on, making the game 1-1 in the 73rd minute. His goal was beautifully assisted by Alex Iwobi, and it was a perfect example of how substitutions can change the course of a match.
From there, Fulham dominated the closing stages, controlling possession and creating multiple chances. Manchester United looked under pressure, and it was only thanks to some defensive work that Fulham didn’t take the lead. By full time, Fulham had arguably been the better side for the majority of the game, and the draw felt like a fair outcome, even if it was slightly harsh on the Cottagers.
Manager Ruben Amorim was praised for his tactical decisions, particularly how well Fulham adapted after going behind. On the other hand, Manchester United’s manager faced questions over selection and defensive organization. The game highlighted both Fulham’s resilience and United’s ongoing struggles in front of goal.
So, in short, it was a thrilling encounter filled with drama, missed chances, and quick-fire impact from substitutes. Fans of both sides got plenty to talk about, but Fulham can be proud of the performance they produced at Craven Cottage today.
