Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham on Sunday night with kindness rejected strike by Lisandar Martinez.
Fulham closed closely with a dirty and rude first half, but he often fought that he often pulled the house out of his places. Those who were in the away end were similarly undergoing a lethargy of their part in the last third, as United failed to test Bernda Leno before the interval.
The second half was similar, but Martinez produced the most important moment for the Red Devils in the 78th minute, as his rejected effort earned Ruben amorim in the breathing area and raised United to 12th place in the Premier League.
How the game took place
No team came to race from blocks to Cottage Craven but either Fulham which created the most promising openings in the early stages. Alex Iwobi twice Andre Onana called to routine savings, and Emile Smith Rowe rejected Martinez’s last block after United handed possession in his half.
Passenger fans expressed frustration due to a lack of attack on a lateral attack on a half -hour brand, while Fulham’s defense quenched like Amad Diall and Alejandra Garnacho with little noise. Rasmus H
Bruno Fernandes provided United’s first moment of invention after re -launching while his free kick slid under Fulham’s wall and in the side net, and soon turned to his bench in search of thoughtfulness. Joshua Zirkzee entered the conflict just an hour ago, hoping to produce another winner of the match against Cottager, who scored a debut strike in reverse fixing.
The Dutchman has certainly not made a direct impact on United because they still worked hard on their trip to the capital. Adam Traore almost worsened her evening with 15 minutes, but Fulham was replacing the encouraging opening over the crossbar.
It felt like a moment of genius or luck would decide on the affair, and the latter proved to be the United Savior in the 78th minute. Martinez’s long -term effort took a huge floor of Fulham’s midfielder Sas Lukic before he spirally came out of Len’s reach and in the upper corner.
Fulham seemed unlikely to produce an equalizer, but he had an unusual chance in dying tokens. Toby Collyer cleaned the line from the header of Joachim Andersen before Rodrigo Muniz shot over the crossbar from a direct measure. The Brazilian will be frustrated that he did not do better.
Amad thought he had finished winning the stop while nesting a shot at the bottom corner, but United had to agree on a goal after Var excluded the strike by the striker for the marginal offside.

Well, it wasn’t nice, but United won’t worry. The Red Devils were mostly uninspiring because they secured a significant victory over the lifeless Fulham team, with happiness on their side, as they only succeeded in their second win in the Premier League in the new year.
After the recent fights, Sunday’s victory will feel euphorically, despite the fact that United was still missing cohesion and consistency, especially in the last third. Amorim was unable to produce a masterplan that unlocked Fulham, but at least he would be proud of the defense efforts and ability to draw a type of results that failed to produce most of the season.
It is a win over cracks, not a corner of angle, but are still a vital three points.
After the last two United match on the bench began, H Striking in the initial XI to fight with two physical central steering wheels, the Danish International hoped to end his drought in ten games.
However, the goals were not for Hojlund, which produced an incredibly insidious display. He failed to create a single opportunity or target a goal, managing only six precise passes during his 58 minutes on the field.
United sometimes started directly, and H He lost nine of his 11 duels as the ball often rejected his lower legs and fell back to Fulham’s hand.
If this was an audition for the initial place in the future, he will not receive a return call.
The eyebrows may have been raised when Collyer was brought to replace the injured Manuel Hungary in front of Kobbie Mainoo, who had to wait until later in the match to enter the field. The young man enjoyed the encouraging season of the breakthrough, but still lacks the experience and technical quality of his colleague graduate Academy.
However, although Collyer did not have too much work to do because United Straucd won, he made an absolutely central contribution. Since the clock marked, and Fulham pushed Nieler, the 21-year-old was in the right place at the right time as he cleaned Andersen’s effort from the line from the angle.
Squeezing from a low -share blush, Collyer produced a moment of clutching in the night of a small drama, and his teammates quickly started him after an impressive intervention. He rightly distinguished the praise of the winner Martinez after a whistle as he saved the flank from late slid.
