JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) won their match against Fulham in the Premier League continued at Craven Cottage Stadium, London, Monday morning West Indonesia (WIB) time.

Quoting Antara, Manchester United centre-back Leandro Martinez scored his only goal to win his team with a narrow score of 1-0 over the hosts Fulham.

The Argentine took advantage of an imperfect sweep of the hosts with speculative shots that had bounced defensive midfielder Sasa Lukik before bouncing over goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

This result is a breath of fresh air for United's Chief Coach, Ruben Amorim, after his team suffered a crushing defeat to Brighton in the previous match.

Fulham almost equalized in the final minutes of the match. Joachim Andersen's header from a corner was cleared by United's back line, with Toby Coller making a crucial save on the line.

Another golden opportunity for the hosts came in extra time through Rodrigo Muniz. However, the substitute failed to take advantage of the opportunity, with his shot soaring far above the bar from inside the penalty box.

Manchester United had scored their second goal at the end of the match with a good combination between Amad and Kobbie Mainoo, but the goal was disallowed due to offside after VAR review.

With this victory, United moved up to 12th in the Premier League standings, four points adrift of Fulham who are ranked 10.
