Manchester United wants to return to victory in the Premier League against Fulham after falling in the last match against Aston Villa. For now, the 'Red Devils' are achieving their goal, as they are currently winning 1-0 at Craven Cottage.
At minute 14, the home team tried to get out of their half, but Casemiro prevented the advance. Then, the ball fell to Eriksen who passed it to Anthony Martial. The Frenchman sent the ball to Bruno Fernandes, who was coming from the left side.
The Portuguese forward shot, but the ball deflected off a defender's foot. The Danish player from Manchester United was alert and just put his foot to score 1-0 in favor of Erik Ten Hag's team.
With the partial result, Manchester United would be in fifth position with 26 points and would be three points behind the fourth place that grants a spot in the Champions League. It is worth mentioning that this is the last match of the 'Red Devils' before the suspension of the Premier League for the start of the World Cup.
