fulham hold man utd in tight, chance-filled opener
United dominate early but fail to break through; Cunha rattles post, both keepers busy.
The second round Premier League showdown between Fulham and Manchester United at Craven Cottage got off to a high intensity start. United started aggressively with Matheus Cunha hammering a shot against the post in the early minutes and twice challenging Bernd Leno. Fulham responded through Sessegnon and Iwobi, putting goalkeeper Altay Bayindir under pressure. Despite United’s dominance in possession and attempts, both defenses held firm throughout the first 20 minutes. Ruben Amorim retained Bayindir in goal and brought Amad into the starting XI for Dalot, while Fulham under Marco Silva showcased guile and energy, especially from young players like Josh King and Sessegnon. As halftime approaches, the match remains a gripping, goalless contest.
