Looking at Manchester United's attack, they had a few noteworthy attempts. However, it seemed that strikers like Rashford and Weghorst did not have a good touch in the first half, causing missed opportunities.

In the second half, Manchester United continued to struggle. To make matters worse, manager Ten Hag's team conceded a goal at the 50th minute when Mitrovic quickly seized an opportunity in the box to beat De Gea.

Fulham's opening goal put them in a good position. Manchester United, on the other hand, pushed all their forces forward in search of an equalizer.

Manchester United makes a comeback from the brink.

The turning point came at the 70th minute when Sancho beat the Fulham goalkeeper and shot into the empty net. Willian, in that situation, used his hand to block the ball. After consulting VAR, the referee awarded Manchester United a penalty kick.

Moreover, the referee sent off Willian with a red card. Mitrovic overreacted to the referee and also had to leave the pitch early. This left Fulham with only 9 players on the field. Additionally, Fulham's manager, Marco Silva, was also sent off for improper reactions.

Bruno Fernandes took the responsibility of the penalty kick for Manchester United and successfully converted it. With a numerical advantage of two players, it was difficult to stop Manchester United.

In the 77th minute, Manchester United took the lead with Sabitzer's goal, putting the "Red Devils" ahead for the first time in the match.

Fulham tried to push forward but failed due to a lack of morale and players. Manchester United comfortably controlled the game and secured a 3-1 victory in the 6th minute of added time thanks to Fernandes' goal.
