What happened. Manchester United produced a turgid display at Craven Cottage and ran more than six kilometres fewer than Fulham. Matheus Cunha's late deflected effort cancelled out Lisandro Martinez's own goal to rescue a point.
- Gary Neville said United were a genuine disgrace for the first 60 minutes
- Neville claimed the side were outworked by the home team
- United were lucky to escape with a point after Cunha's deflected equaliser
“Man Utd were a genuine disgrace. Nowhere near good enough without the ball.”
— Gary Neville
The distance stat adds weight to Neville's claim that United were outworked, piling pressure on Michael Carrick's side.
