Bernd Leno: Stayed alert to stop Lisandro Martinez early on and reacted as Matheus Cunha’s looping attempt struck the post. Later denied Bryan Mbeumo with a diving save at full stretch. 7
Timothy Castagne: Received a yellow card after bringing down Marcus Rashford during a Manchester United counterattack in the second half. 6
David Affengruber: Produced a superb pass through the defence to send Josh King clear, although the opportunity was not converted. Escaped punishment after Cunha beat him near the byline, but later recovered well to dispossess Mbeumo during a potential break. 7
Calvin Bassey: Faced a difficult positional challenge because Manchester United operated without a traditional central striker. Advanced effectively to help create Fulham’s goal. 7
Antonee Robinson: Moved into more attacking central areas, creating a tactical problem for the visiting defence. 7
Sander Berge (Off, Larsson 76): Saw his strike from outside the penalty area pushed away by Senne Lammens. 7
Shea Charles: His midfield partnership with Berge played an important role in shielding Fulham’s defence during long periods of opposition possession near the home penalty area. His distribution was inconsistent at times. 6
Oscar Bobb (off Kevin, 70): Sent a shot narrowly past the post but should probably have made more of the opportunity. 6
Josh King (off Andersen, 79): Constantly searched for possession and posed an attacking threat. Forced Lammens into a strong save at the far post, while another shot across goal required a crucial intervention from the goalkeeper. His performance was slightly tarnished by a booking for simulation. 8
Alex Iwobi (off Palacios, 70): Looked to attack through the inside-left channel whenever Fulham advanced. One low delivery nearly provided Gonzalo Garcia with an opportunity, while a deeper cross created a chance for King. 7
Gonzalo Garcia (off Muniz, 79): Came within inches of converting Iwobi’s cross from the left at close range. 6
Substitutes:
Palacios (on 70, Iwobi): Helped Fulham maintain their rhythm after coming on. 6
Kevin (on 70, Bobb): Adapted quickly and delivered a composed performance. 6
Larsson (on 76, Berge): 6
Muniz (on 79, Garcia): 6
Andersen (on 79, King): 6
Unused substitutes: Lecomte, Manuel Angel, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe.
