Fulham vs Man United

Craven Cottage saw goalless, cagey stuff for 45 minutes before the game opened up after the break. Fulham and Manchester United couldn't find a way through in the first half, both sides cancelling each other out, but the second period brought the goals that mattered, finishing 1-1. Neither keeper will be too thrilled with the clean sheet going by the wayside, though plenty of home fans will take the point against one of the division's bigger names. A draw at this stage of the season does neither side much harm, but it won't feel like a result United will celebrate wildly either. Fulham will see it as a decent afternoon's work at home, having held their own against a side with far bigger ambitions this term. For United, it's a missed chance to build momentum, and questions will linger about the final product going forward. Sunday's 1-1 draw leaves both clubs with work still to do.

Fulham and Man United drew 1-1 at Craven Cottage, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Fulham holding 43% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
