Fulham 1-3 Manchester United : Five Talking Points

But, United didn’t turn up in the second half and were lucky to concede just one

Berbatov in action

After a scintillating start, many would have expected United to go on, in the second half and score a few more, and add to their goal difference. Instead, United were complacent and sat deeper and deeper as the half went on. They weren’t helped by the fact that both Rafael and Cleverley went into the break with a knock and didn’t make it back. And right from the start of the second half, it looked as if, United were happy to sit on their three goal cushion and let Fulham onto them.

But, as the game went on, that looked like the worst thing to do, as Fulham mounted on the pressure and created plenty of chances before they scored their only goal, a Kacaniklic shot, which deflected off Wayne Rooney and into the net. After a disappointing performance in the first half, Fulham came back stronger and not only did they score themselves, they also stopped it from becoming a rout.
