Events

Match Events

0' In just a few seconds Old Trafford will turn into a battlefield for Manchester United FC and Fulham FC.
5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Manchester United FC and Fulham FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
10' Manchester United FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
15' Adama Traore has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
18' A meaty challenge results in booking for Mason Mount on 18.
23' Fulham FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 23.
25' That looks like a foul for a card for Calvin Bassey.
30' Antonee Robinson has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
35' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bruno Fernandes, as he is very good at scoring at Old Trafford with 54 goals in the last 42 games.
40' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Harry Maguire on 40 minutes.
45' The travelling Fulham FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
50' Manchester United FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against Fulham FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
55' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Manchester United FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
60' The home supporters are growing impatient. Manchester United FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
61' The whistle greets Amad Diallo as he departs to be replaced by Alejandro Garnacho.
64' Tom Cairney has so much to prove this time. He replaces Emile Smith Rowe on 64 minute.
69' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Fulham FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
70' Andreas Pereira has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 70.
73' Controversy at the stadium! Tom Cairney argues furiously but the card stands.
78' Fresh legs for Fulham FC! Harry Wilson comes on to replace Adama Traore.
81' A change in the Manchester United FC ranks — Noussair Mazraoui exits the field as Jonny Evans enters on 81.
84' A change in the Manchester United FC ranks — Kobbie Mainoo exits the field as Scott McTominay enters on 84.
87' Joshua Zirkzee has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 87 minutes.
90' Harrison Reed gets the nod from Fulham FC. He replaces Andreas Pereira and will look to change the dynamic.
Another three points for Manchester United FC.
