Manchester United have picked up a last-gasp away win against Fulham courtesy of youngster Alejandro Garnacho’s goal. The game looked as though it was heading towards a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage before the 18-year-old struck at the death.
Erik ten Hag’s side took the lead in the first-half through Christian Eriksen before the hosts grew into the game in the second-half. Former United winger Dan James came off the bench and ended haunting his old club when he tucked home a Tom Cairney cross.
Fulham looked the more likely team to score after that and the visitors had David de Gea to thank for some impressive saves. Garnacho was brought on for Anthony Martial on 72 minutes and caused problems on the wing before his goal.

5. Luke Shaw - 6
Wasn’t in the game too much but did what was needed. Kept Harry Wilson quiet.
6. Bruno Fernandes - 6
Had a tough clash up against Fulham’s midfield of Tom Cairney and Joao Palhinha. Couldn’t really stamp his mark on the game.
7. Casemiro - 7
Solid showing again from the former Real Madrid man.
8. Christian Eriksen - 8
Another cool display from the Denmark international. Couldn’t miss his goal and may feel he should’ve scored a second before half-time.
