Fulham struggled to regain control of the game after conceding the opening goal. They were missing key players such as Aleksandr Mitrovic and Carlos Vinicius, which cost them a goal. Daniel James, who is on loan from Leeds, equalised for Fulham shortly after. Garnacho then played a one-two with Ericsson and ran into the box to slot home a late winner.
The game was remarkably even, as both sides had plenty of chances to score. United had a lot of quality chances to score, but their chances were narrowed by Malacia’s late intervention. Manchester United also showed some excellent attacking moves through Erik ten Hag and Joao Palhinha.
The game was a battle between two sides that possessed the best attacking players. The hosts had the upper hand in possession, but Fulham were determined to get a point. With a man advantage, Fulham managed three shots on goal, all of which were from long range. The total xG of those three shots was only 0.10, which was disappointing – but understandable given that Fulham decided to play for a point rather than a win.
Christian Eriksen has been an excellent signing for Manchester United. His first goal for the club was a well-placed header, and he set up Garnacho’s late strike. The win was deserved, but it could have been different if the home team had made use of Aleksandar Mitrovic after the break.
The second goal comes from a controversial penalty awarded to Andreas Pereira in the 26th minute. The referee ruled that the goal was not given after Cancelo’s red card. However, the penalty was converted by Andreas Pereira, and the result was a 1-0 win for Man Utd.
United’s 4-2-3-1 is fluid and direct, playing long balls over the Fulham high-press. The four fluid players in the attack have increased the stability of United’s attack. United were well defended in the first half, but Fulham made the most of their absences and peppered the United goal.Alejandro Garnacho’s Late Strike Gives Man Utd a Dramatic Win Over Fulham
