Fulham vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score after late Bruno Fernandes goal

Fulham 0-1 Manchester United: Fernandes struck a stoppage-time winner to rescue a vital three points for Erik ten Hag’s under-pressure side

Erik ten Hag determined to improve Manchester United’s form

Bruno Fernandes scored a stoppage-time goal to earn Manchester United a 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League and lift the pressure on under-fire manager Erik ten Hag.

Fernandes capitalised on a poor clearance by compatriot Joao Palhinha to stroke a low finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the area just seconds into added-on time at Craven Cottage.

United rebounded from back-to-back 3-0 losses to Manchester City and Newcastle over the past week that left Ten Hag facing his biggest crisis since taking over in the summer of 2022. The big games keep coming for Ten Hag, though, with United having a pivotal Champions League match at FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.

The big story before kick-off was around Marcus Rashford after he was not included in Manchester United’s squad. The England striker was forced to apologise to Ten Hag after attending a nightclub party after last weekend’s embarrassing derby defeat to Manchester City. But Rashford was missing at Craven Cottage due to injury after taking a “heavy knock” in training.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

45 mins: There will be five minutes of added time - most of that coming from the VAR review earlier in the half.

Fulham have been the better team since that McTominay opener was disallowed.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

44 mins: Fulham finish the first half on top as Pereira gets to the byline and McTominay is needed to block his cross out for a corner. Maguire defends his box well but Fulham come back forward. Willian skips past Antony with ease and bends a shot towards the far post... CLOSE! But just wide of Onana’s goal.

Jermaine Jenas calls that Antony defending “pathetic”.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

39 mins: “Attack, attack... attack, attack, attack!” cry the United fans at Craven Cottage.

They have not been impressed by their side’s display, which has featured a lot of ‘safe’ passing around the backline.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

38 mins: Chance to Fulham on the break... but it’s wasted by Iwobi! Garnacho’s pass put Eriksen into danger and Iwobi was able to pick up the loose pass before surging clear of United’s holding midfielder. But with Evans backing off, Iwobi blasted wide of Onana’s goal.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

34 mins: And that’s better from United as Garnacho carries down the left and feeds Hojlund. The striker pulls it back to Fernandes but Leno reads what the captain is looking to do and covers the far post to easily save his curling effort.

The difference between Garnacho and Antony, annonymous on the right, is astonishing.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

32 mins: Chance, kind of, for Evans after a United corner isn’t cleared by Fulham. It dropped to Evans at the front post but it required an acrobatic volley to try and hook it into the top corner, but the attempt goes wide.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

28 mins: Great defending! Superb covering from Dalot to slide in and prevent a certain goal after Willian looked to pick out Wilson with a curling ball to the far post. That was really sharp from the United full-back.

But more encouragement for Fulham - Willian and Wilson are looking dangerous and Palhinha is controlling midfield.

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

27 mins: That’s a bit better though: Garnacho gets to the byline and pulls it back to find McTominay - whose shot is blocked by Bassey.

But Garnacho and McTominay - they are the ones who are trying to make things happen for United.

[4 November 2023 12:58 · Jamie Braidwood]

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

26 mins: Some nice play from Fulham as Wilson skips past Eriksen on the right. His cross misses everyone in the middle - but it’s Fulham who are on top right now. United are yet to create a real chance, apart from the disallowed goal of course.

[4 November 2023 12:55 · Jamie Braidwood]

Fulham 0-0 Manchester United

22 mins: And there goes Willian! Palhinha takes a quick free kick and Willian is able to dribble into the box. Wan-Bissaka stands up well and deflects his shot wide.

From the corner, Wilson blazes a volley over the bar.
