Manchester United beat Fulham 2-1 in our last game before the World Cup break, thanks to a dramatic goal at the death courtesy of Alejandro Garnacho.
The result means United have closed the gap on fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur to just three points with a game in hand, until the Premier League resumes on 26 and 27 December. It took 10 minutes for the Reds to really get into the game, and in our first attack, Anthony Martial forced Bernd Leno to make a great save. And minutes after his introduction, James equalised for the London club. Our Spaniard between the posts denied Vinicius once again, before Martinez helped it out for a corner. Luke Shaw's fantastic pass down the left, matched with Rashford's equally brilliant run, saw the latter hold the ball up before laying it off into the path of Martial. The ball was played into him by Willian, but his effort was saved by David De Gea.
Manchester United needed a stoppage-time winner from 18-year-old prospect Alejandro Garnancho as they edged past Fulham at Craven Cottage.
