Cunha late equalizer rescues point for struggling Man Utd at Fulham

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, with a late Matheus Cunha equalizer rescuing a point after a Lisandro Martinez own goal had given the home side the lead. The result extends United's winless run to four Premier League matches and leaves them with just five points from their opening five games, their joint-lowest tally at this stage of a season since 2014-15. The match appeared to be heading for a third consecutive defeat for United after Martinez diverted the ball into his own net in the 63rd minute. The defender's attempted clearance followed a save by goalkeeper Senne Lammens from a Calvin Bassey shot. However, Cunha salvaged a draw in the 89th minute when his long-range effort took a significant deflection off Fulham's David Affengruber to beat goalkeeper Bernd Leno. The draw means United head into the international break in 12th place in the table, having won only one of their five league matches. The pressure on manager Michael Carrick has intensified following this latest setback, which came after defeats to Manchester City and Brighton. Carrick stated after the match that he does not care about his future at the club.
