Lisandro Martínez’s deflected winner gave Manchester United a 1-0 at Fulham to ease the pressure on Ruben Amorim
on the road. Remember his roof-of-the-net banger in the 2-2 Premier League draw at Liverpool? The central defender was at it again here and if there was a slice of luck about his late winner, one to blow open a previously dismal spectacle, it did nothing to dampen the celebrations.
The replays showed that the ball was directly on the line. And if United were denied themselves at the very last, Amad Diallo finishing smartly only for the VAR to pull him back for a hairline offside, they did not care. It was not pretty. But they took this with plenty of gratitude. What was actually at stake for United? The league season feels over for them, certainly in terms of looking up the table and yet there is always something, each game there to be pored over, pulled apart.
By that stage, Fulham had seemingly fallen into a Sunday evening slumber – it was evidently contagious – having had a few moments in a positive opening 20 minutes. Alex Iwobi was lively on the left and he forced a smart low save out of André Onana after Højlund had failed to hold up the ball for the first time and Fulham had rushed forward. Raúl Jiménez thought he had wriggled through before Matthijs de Ligt stopped him; Martínez did likewise to Emile Smith Rowe.
