Man Utd beat Fulham, ranked 3rd in Premier League

Man Utd face Fulham in the final match of the Premier League season. The Red Devils are certain to qualify for the UEFA Champions League but need a win to ensure they do not lose third place to Newcastle United and maintain a good mental state ahead of the FA Cup final.

The Old Trafford team started well, playing attacking football from the first minutes of the match. Man Utd increased the tempo of the match and pushed the opponent to the middle of the field. However, when coach Erik ten Hag's players were excited, Fulham scored the opening goal. From Man Utd's poor defense of a corner kick at the near post, Kenny Tete headed the ball into the home team's net.

Man Utd won convincingly.

Man Utd almost conceded a second goal just minutes later, when Casemiro fouled the visitors in the box. David de Gea became the Red Devils' hero when he saved a penalty from Aleksandar Mitrovic.

This moment seemed to give the home players a boost. Man Utd controlled the game and attacked aggressively, constantly creating opportunities. The Red Devils' efforts helped them equalize at the end of the first half from Jadon Sancho's finish, after Fred broke into the penalty area and caused chaos in the Fulham defense.

Man Utd maintained their attacking rhythm after the break. Fred continued to make his mark with a pass like a top playmaker, helping Bruno Fernandes score to put the home team ahead.

After the second goal, Man Utd switched to defense. Coach Erik ten Hag's players gave the ball to their opponents more often. However, Fulham's attacks were ineffective and they could not score.

Man Utd beat Fulham 2-1 to finish the 2022/23 Premier League season in third place. The Red Devils earned 75 points, behind Man City and Arsenal. Meanwhile, Fulham ranked 10th.
