Last-minute Cunha Goal Prevents Man Utd Loss; Fulham Player Ratings

September 21, 2026Pablo Navarro2 мин

Bernd Leno: Made an early save from Lisandro Martinez and reacted sharply when Matheus Cunha's shot hit the post. Denied Bryan Mbeumo with a full-length save. 7

Timothy Castagne: Received a yellow card for fouling Marcus Rashford during a Manchester United counter-attack in the second half. 6

David Affengruber: Delivered a defense-splitting pass to Josh King, who couldn't convert. Was fortunate to avoid conceding a goal after being beaten by Cunha near the goalline, but recovered to tackle Mbeumo as he attempted to counter. 7

Calvin Bassey: Faced positional challenges due to Manchester United playing without a traditional centre-forward. Contributed offensively to create Fulham's goal. 7

Antonee Robinson: Moved into advanced areas, occupying an inside forward role, which posed defensive problems for the visitors. 7

Sander Berge (substituted for Larsson, 76th minute): His shot from the edge of the box was saved by Senne Lammens. 7

Shea Charles: His midfield partnership with Berge was crucial in shielding the Fulham defense during Manchester United's extended periods of possession in the home team's half. His passing accuracy faltered at times. 6

Oscar Bobb (substituted for Kevin, 70th minute): Rolled an effort just wide of the post and likely should have done better with the opportunity. 6

Josh King (substituted for Andersen, 79th minute): Consistently sought the ball and looked to threaten. A good save from Lammens denied him at the far post, and his shot across goal appeared destined for the net before the visitors' keeper intervened. Received a yellow card for diving. 8

Alex Iwobi (substituted for Palacios, 70th minute): Also attempted to exploit the inside left channel when Fulham attacked. A low cross from him nearly created a goal for Gonzalo Garcia, and another deep cross set up King. 7

Gonzalo Garcia (substituted for Muniz, 79th minute): Was a half-stride away from a tap-in from an Iwobi cross delivered from the left. 6

Substitutes:

Palacios (on for Iwobi, 70th minute): Helped maintain Fulham's rhythm. 6

Kevin (on for Bobb, 70th minute): Integrated well into the game. 6

Larsson (on for Berge, 76th minute): 6

Muniz (on for Garcia, 79th minute): 6

Andersen (on for King, 79th minute): 6

Unused Substitutes: Lecomte, Manuel Angel, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe.
