Manchester United entertained Fulham at Old Trafford earlier today as they looked to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Red Devils made a bright start to the game and scored the opener in the 19th minute when Casemiro found the back of the net. The Mancunian club went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Michael Carrick’s men doubled their advantage in the 56th minute when Matheus Cunha got his name on the scoresheet. Raul Jimenez got a goal back for Fulham from the penalty spot in the 85th minute before Kevin equalised with a great strike in injury time. However, Benjamin Sesko scored a dramatic winner soon after as Man United secured a hard-fought 3-2 win at Old Trafford.
