Chances at either end
Almost a goal at either end!
Fulham’s first chance of the game and it almost ends up in the net, with King beating the offside trap before forcing a save from Bayindir!
Moments later, the Turkey international plays a simple long ball that Cunha controls brilliantly, before forcing an even better save from Leno.
He probably should’ve scored in truth, but those chances have got the crown going either way.

Fulham 0-0 Man Utd
Altay Bayindir pings the ball long and it drops perfectly for Cunha who shrugs Joachim Andersen away from the ball then pokes it at goal.
Bernd Leno closes Cunha down and sticks out a left hand which deflects the ball wide of the post!

11 mins: Amad Diallo receives the ball and looks to drive forward.
He plays a one-two with Mbeumo and gets into the box only for Ryan Sessegnon to lunge in and win his team a goal kick.

8 mins: Bassey takes a hand to the face from a stray Bryan Mbeumo arm which looks to have caught him in the eye.
He’s okay and plays on after a 30 second pause off the pitch.

Patrick Dorgu brings the ball down the left wing and knocks it inside to Mason Mount.
Mount controls then offloads to Cunha who guides a shot threw the legs of Calvin Bassey and hits the far post!

‘Cunha is looking lively’
Here’s Chris Wilson at Craven Cottage :
Cunha is already looking lively and he has two shots in as many minutes, the second one ricocheting back off the post.
He looked sharp in the warm-up and seems to be keen to lead united’s attacking efforts, and it’s been a solid start from the visitors.

2 mins: Wow! Bruno Fernandes intercepts the ball and rolls it quickly to Matheus Cunha playing through the middle.
He spins and lets fly with a fine effort which just flies over the crossbar!

Kick off! Fulham 0-0 Man Utd
Fulham get the ball rolling at Craven Cottage and work it over to the left side of the pitch.
It comes to Alex Iwobi who whips a quick cross towards the area but sends the ball out of play.

Fulham vs Man Utd
There are question marks over how this game will go. Can Ruben Amorim bring out the best in Manchester United or will Fulham get a rare win at home?

Man Utd’s playmaker
Bruno Fernandes created five chances for Man Utd in their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, the 33rd time he’s done so in a Premier League match – the most of any player since his debut in February 2020.
It’s also the second most by a Man Utd player on record (2003-04 onwards), with Ryan Giggs doing so 34 times in that time.
