Iwobi masterclass helps Fulham rescue point against Man Utd after Fernandes penalty miss

Ruben Amorim's new-look Manchester United failed to shine at Craven Cottage against a spirited Fulham side, led by Alex Iwobi.

Amorim's men made a bright start. Matheus Cunha fired an early long-range strike inches over the bar before a sweet attacking move culminated in the silky Brazilian sidefooting an effort against the post.

The Red Devils continued to look the more threatening of the two sides as the first half progressed, and were given a golden opportunity to break the deadlock when Calvin Bassey hauled Mount down in the box, only for Fernandes to blaze the spot-kick high over the bar.

The second half followed a similar flow, and the visitors took a deserved lead shortly before the hour mark when Bryan Mbeumo’s corner was flicked onto the back of Rodrigo Muniz by Leny Yoro and beyond a helpless Leno.

In response to that goal, Marco Silva introduced Raúl Jiménez and Smith Rowe into the game, and the latter made an immediate impact, latching onto Alex Iwobi’s cross to poke a clever finish past Altay Bayındır.
