Commentary

Two second-half goals ensured Fulham and Manchester United were forced to settle for a point apiece after a dramatic 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage. The first half had everything but a goal. A record-breaking 26 shots came and went without either side finding the net, although Fernandes came closest when he rattled the foot of the post. Fulham threatened regularly through King, Berge and Bobb, while United enjoyed spells of pressure of their own in an engrossing opening 45 minutes. After the break, the significance of the contest appeared to weigh heavily on both sides. The tempo dropped considerably and clear-cut opportunities became increasingly scarce, with neither team willing to take the risks that had defined the first half. The breakthrough eventually arrived in fortunate circumstances for the hosts. Bassey's effort from distance should have been dealt with by Lammens, but the Belgian could only push the ball into the path of his own defender, Martinez, who inadvertently turned it into the back of the net to hand Fulham the lead. That setback finally sparked United into life. Leno was forced into a string of excellent saves to deny Mbeumo and Cunha, but the Fulham goalkeeper was eventually beaten on the cusp of full-time. Cunha, who had been United's most dangerous attacking outlet throughout the afternoon, saw an effort from outside the area take a wicked deflection off Affengruber, wrong-footing Leno and finding its way into the net. In truth, a draw felt a fair outcome. There was almost nothing to separate the sides on the balance of play or the underlying numbers, with Fulham posting 1.57 xG to United's 1.59. However, Arbeloa remains without a victory as Fulham manager after five matches and will hope to change that when the Cottagers travel to Ipswich following the international break. Carrick, meanwhile, will be relieved to leave west London with a point, though he knows his side will need to improve when they return to action against bottom-of-the-table Tottenham. Thanks for joining us at Craven Cottage. Until next time, goodbye.

90'+4'

FULL-TIME: FULHAM 1-1 MANCHESTER UNITED

90'+3'

CRUCIAL BLOCK! United's corner drops kindly for the previously unfortunate Martinez, and it looked as though the Argentine might complete a remarkable turnaround after earlier diverting the ball into his own net. He shifts the ball onto his right foot and prepares to pull the trigger, but Charles throws himself in the way to make a vital block. United keep the pressure on and earn a second corner. Mbeumo's delivery is a deep one, and Dorgu rises highest to meet it, but the substitute can only direct his header wide of the target.

90'+3'

United have a corner deep into stoppage time, and this will surely be the last act of the game.

90'+1'

We're into a minimum of just three minutes of added time at the end of this contest, but after Cunha's dramatic equaliser, those final moments suddenly feel far more significant.

89'

Dorgu was one of Carrick' changes, and his pass teed up Cunha on the edge of the area to find the equaliser.
