Last-minute Cunha goal saves Man Utd from another defeat - who rated highest at Fulham?

Matheus Cunha's deflected equalizer at the last minute spared Manchester United from another defeat after Fulham's own goal threatened to hand the visitors a victory at Craven Cottage. Here's how I rated the players involved in the match.

For Fulham, Senne Lammens' key first-half saves were crucial to keeping the game level, while his distribution was uneven and he couldn't cover for the goal conceded. Diogo Dalot's attempts to create chances were often hampered by lack of defensive support, and Harry Maguire's experience was evident as he drew a foul out of Josh King.

For Manchester United, Lisandro Martinez's well-struck half-volley drew an excellent save from Leno, but he eventually found the net at the wrong end. Youri Tielemans wasted an excellent opportunity with little power behind his shot. Kobbie Mainoo showed a tidy game in possession but lacked key passes. Bruno Fernandes struggled to reach his usual levels, but Bryan Mbeumo showed strong runs and provided defensive support for Luke Shaw, whose return from a three-match absence helped balance the team.

Both teams had chances to break the deadlock, but ultimately, Cunha's deflected effort proved decisive.
