  "account": "Matheus Cunha's deflected last-minute equaliser spared Manchester United from another defeat after Lisandro Martinez's own goal threatened to give Fulham victory at Craven Cottage. Bernd Leno made an early save from Martinez and scrambled when Cunha's effort looped onto the post. Timothy Castagne was booked for bringing Marcus Rashford down during Manchester United's second-half break. David Affengruber's defense-splitting pass to release Josh King, who couldn't finish, was notable. Calvin Bassey created Fulham's goal despite difficult positioning. Antonee Robinson pushed into advanced areas, causing defensive issues for Manchester United. Sander Berge and Shea Charles contributed to the midfield partnership protecting Fulham's defense. Oscar Bobb, Josh King, and Gonzalo Garcia had low effort efforts. Alex Iwobi and Gonzalo Garcia had opportunities to score. Palacios kept Fulham ticking over. Substitutes Lecomte, Manuel Angel, Sessegnon, and Smith Rowe were not used. Lammens made key first-half saves and bravely came out to prevent another Fulham chance. Diogo Dalot provided a tidy spin to create a chance for Rashford but lacked cover. Harry Maguire drew a foul from King. Lisandro Martinez had a well-struck half-volley saved by Leno but eventually scored at the wrong end. Luke Shaw returned from a three-match absence, helping balance Carrick's side. Youri Tielemans wasted an excellent opportunity, running on to Rashford's short pass without power. Kobbie Mainoo played tidily in possession without making the key passes. Bruno Fernandes had a low shot against the post from Cunha's cut-back. Marcus Rashford attempted to set up Tielemans with a short pass, but the Belgian couldn't finish. Matheus Cunha started in the number nine role but created an excellent opportunity for Fernandes but deflected his shot onto the post.",
