Fulham vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League latest score and updates after Scott McTominay goal ruled out

This can only get better, hopefully.

The big moment came when Scott McTominay’s opening goal was ruled out by referee John Brooks after consulting the pitchside monitor. In what was a subjective decision from the on-field official, Harry Maguire was ruled to have interfered with play after starting his run from an offside position, even though he did not touch the ball before Alejandro Garnacho squared to McTominay to score.

United will be upset at that – but they have offered very little since the disallowed goal in the eighth minute of the match.

45+4 mins: The classic ‘sums it up’ moment of the first half comes as Fernandes misshits a left-footed cross out for a goalkick under no pressure.

United have been flat, slow, and have offered basically no threat from open play.

And there’s half-time.

45 mins: There will be five minutes of added time – most of that coming from the VAR review earlier in the half.

Fulham have been the better team since that McTominay opener was disallowed.

44 mins: Fulham finish the first half on top as Pereira gets to the byline and McTominay is needed to block his cross out for a corner. Maguire defends his box well but Fulham come back forward. Willian skips past Antony with ease and bends a shot towards the far post… CLOSE! But just wide of Onana’s goal.

Jermaine Jenas calls that Antony defending “pathetic”.

39 mins: “Attack, attack… attack, attack, attack!” cry the United fans at Craven Cottage.

They have not been impressed by their side’s display, which has featured a lot of ‘safe’ passing around the backline.

Dalot volleys a mile over the bar following a corner.

38 mins: Chance to Fulham on the break… but it’s wasted by Iwobi! Garnacho’s pass put Eriksen into danger and Iwobi was able to pick up the loose pass before surging clear of United’s holding midfielder. But with Evans backing off, Iwobi blasted wide of Onana’s goal.

34 mins: And that’s better from United as Garnacho carries down the left and feeds Hojlund. The striker pulls it back to Fernandes but Leno reads what the captain is looking to do and covers the far post to easily save his curling effort.

The difference between Garnacho and Antony, annonymous on the right, is astonishing.

32 mins: Chance, kind of, for Evans after a United corner isn’t cleared by Fulham. It dropped to Evans at the front post but it required an acrobatic volley to try and hook it into the top corner, but the attempt goes wide.

28 mins: Great defending! Superb covering from Dalot to slide in and prevent a certain goal after Willian looked to pick out Wilson with a curling ball to the far post. That was really sharp from the United full-back.

But more encouragement for Fulham – Willian and Wilson are looking dangerous and Palhinha is controlling midfield.

27 mins: That’s a bit better though: Garnacho gets to the byline and pulls it back to find McTominay – whose shot is blocked by Bassey.

But Garnacho and McTominay – they are the ones who are trying to make things happen for United.
