In a Premier League match at Craven Cottage on Sunday, September 20, 2026, Fulham triumphed over Manchester United with a score of 1-0. The game's only goal came from an own goal by United's Lisandro Martínez in the 63rd minute of play, allowing Fulham to secure the victory.

The first half ended in a stalemate, with both teams failing to find the back of the net. Fulham appeared to have the upper hand as they showcased stronger overall play. Despite Manchester United's attempts, they managed only two shots on target out of a total of 17 in the first half. Fulham's defensive efforts and the performance of goalkeeper Bernd Leno kept United at bay.

In the second half, Fulham continued to demonstrate solid control. The match's key moment occurred when Fulham's Bassey intercepted a pass shortly after a push forward, managing to send a low drive toward the net. Martínez, attempting to play a back pass to his keeper, inadvertently directed the ball into his own goal.

Fulham's Josh King celebrated confidently alongside teammates after the own goal put them ahead. After the goal, United faced a challenging task as they desperately sought to equalize. In the latter stages of the match, United saw attempts to secure a comeback thwarted by Leno's impressive saves.

The final whistle confirmed Fulham’s well-deserved win, highlighting their effective strategy and resilient performance against a struggling Manchester United side.
