Man Utd’s Bruno Fernandes secures last-minute victory over Fulham
In a thrilling English Premier League clash at Craven Cottage, Manchester United’s Portuguese maestro, Bruno Fernandes, stole the show with a sensational goal to secure a crucial 1-0 victory over Fulham. The match, which was largely forgettable, came alive in stoppage time when Fernandes expertly converted Facundo Pellistri’s pass from the edge of the box.
The win was a much-needed boost for under-pressure United, who had been facing criticism following a disappointing 3-0 loss to Manchester City in the Premier League and a humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United in the League Cup last 16. The victory not only eased the pressure on United coach Erik ten Hag but also propelled the Red Devils up to sixth place in the Premier League table, with 18 points.
The game started with an early setback for United, as a goal by Fulham was disallowed by VAR due to Harry Maguire being offside in the build-up to Scott McTominay’s close-range finish. However, United remained resilient and continued to push forward.
Fernandes’ late heroics were a testament to his quality and determination. With just five minutes of added time remaining, the United captain seized the opportunity to secure all three points for his team. His clinical finish illuminated an otherwise lackluster match and left Fulham’s defense in disarray.
Speaking after the game, Fernandes expressed his satisfaction with the outcome and emphasized the importance of building confidence within the team. As the captain of Manchester United, he stressed the need for his side to win every game, highlighting the club’s prestigious history and high expectations.
This victory will undoubtedly provide a much-needed boost for Manchester United, who will look to build on this momentum and continue their climb up the Premier League table.
