Martinez deflected goal secures crucial win for Manchester United against Fulham
Lisandro Martinez’s heavily deflected late strike handed Manchester United a vital away win, earning them three crucial points against Fulham.
Coming off the back of a dramatic Europa League victory over Rangers on Thursday, Ruben Amorim’s side found it tough to break down their opponents.
They only managed one shot on target throughout the match.
However, that solitary attempt, courtesy of Martinez, proved decisive as his effort took a wicked deflection before finding the back of the net.

United’s defensive was equally vital, with young talent Toby Collyer making a heroic goal-line clearance to preserve the lead and ensure the win.
While the performance is still far from United usal quality, they will hope to capitalize on their win in subsequent games.
