Fulham vs Manchester United LIVE!
Erik ten Hag was left breathing a hefty sigh of relief as his Manchester United side scraped a dramatic late win over Fulham. Captain Bruno Fernandes fired a last-gasp stoppage-time winner away at Craven Cottage in Saturday's Premier League lunchtime kick-off to ease the growing sense of crisis and the mounting pressure on his manager.
It was just the tonic that Ten Hag needed after a hugely difficult week that had seen his side lose back-to-back home games 3-0 against Manchester City and Newcastle amid their worst start to a season for some 51 years. The Dutchman also publicly criticised Marcus Rashford for his "unacceptable" behaviour in having a birthday party just hours after last weekend's dismal derby loss.
The England forward played no part on Saturday due to a late injury sustained in training, but his absence was not felt in the end as captain Fernandes popped up late to lift the mood. Follow Fulham vs Man Utd reaction live below, with analysis from Standard Sport's Dom Smith at Craven Cottage.

Manchester United stole it at the death, and of all people it was Joao Palhinha’s error that gave the game away for Fulham.
His clearance was weak, fell to Fernandes, and his Portuguese team-mate twisted and turned and fired home a late winner here.
