Man United, Fulham Draw 1-1 After Fernandes Misses Penalty

Manchester United remain winless in the Premier League after a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage, with Bruno Fernandes missing a crucial first-half penalty. The Red Devils took the lead when a Leny Yoro header from a Bryan Mbeumo corner deflected off Rodrigo Muniz into the net, an own goal that gave United the advantage. Fulham responded strongly in the second half, with substitute Emile Smith Rowe scoring with his first touch to equalize from an Alex Iwobi cross. Despite promising attacking performances, including a post hit by Matheus Cunha and other chances, United could not capitalize, with Fernandes' penalty miss and overall finishing woes summing up their struggles. Fulham, led by Marco Silva's impactful substitutions, finished the stronger side, securing their first points of the season while United sit 16th early in the campaign. Fernandes' penalty miss was marked by an unusual run-up disrupted by the referee's proximity, contributing to his uncharacteristic error.
