JAKARTA - Manchester United struggled to win a 1-0 away victory over Fulham on Monday, January 27, 2025, early morning WIB, through Lisandro Martinez's deflected long-range shot.
Martinez's speculative shot in the 78th minute was deflected after hitting Sasa Lukic and tricking Bernd Leno.
This victory will be a welcome domestic entertainment for head coach Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, who saw his team beaten easily by Brighton last weekend, to be the sixth defeat in nine Premier League games.
Fulham came close to equalizing at the last minute. Luckily, Manchester United academy graduate Toby Coller blocked Joachim Andersen's header from a corner in the line.

Substitute Rodrigo Muniz had one last chance in injury time, but the striker's shot bounced well over the crossbar from inside the penalty area.
Soon after, Amad Diallo came close to confirming three points in stoppage time after working with Kobbie Mainoo, but the goal was ruled out for offside.
Martinez, the winner's singles goal scorer, did not deny that the win smelled of luck.
"I think it's lucky, but it's an important win. I'm happy with the way we won the game."
"It doesn't matter who scored, the most important thing is three points. It means a lot."
"Not only for fans, but also for us. We have suffered a lot. It is a difficult victory."
"At this club, the pressure is tough, but we are here. We know how difficult it is. In fact, in a game like today we have to win and be humble after winning," Martinez told TNT Sports.
This result brings Manchester United to 12th position in the Premier League standings, four points behind Fulham who are in 10th position.
