What happened. Fulham were denied a win over Manchester United when Matheus Cunha scored a late deflected equaliser in a 1-1 draw. Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa claimed officials 'would not let Man United lose' and that 'every decision was for them'.

• Arbeloa felt a foul awarded to United on Harry Maguire 35 seconds before the goal was unjust.
• He said: 'I knew after the game against Man City that they would not let Man Utd lose.'
• The result lifted Fulham off the bottom, condemning Tottenham to last place for the first time since 2009.

“Every decision was for them and I knew after the game against Man City that they would not let Man Utd lose.”

— Alvaro Arbeloa

Arbeloa's rant could lead to an FA sanction, as questioning officials' integrity often results in a fine or touchline ban.
