Martínez Helps Manchester United Edge Past Fulham
Manchester United secured a 1-0 victory over Fulham, thanks to a fortunate deflection off defender Lisandro Martínez’s shot. The goal, which came after a ricochet off Saša Lukić, proved to be the difference in a game that lacked clear-cut chances.
This result marks Fulham’s first home defeat since November 23, as they struggled to create meaningful opportunities against a disciplined United defense. Despite their efforts, the hosts couldn’t find a way past André Onana, who had a relatively quiet evening.
