Alex Iwobi registered an assist as Fulham held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at the Craven Cottage on Sunday.
Both teams battled hard to assert their authority in the opening minutes.
United were awarded a penalty after Calvin Bassey pulled down Mason Mount inside the box.
The Red Devils captain Bruno Fernandes however failed to convert as he blazed his effort off target.
Rodrigo Muniz’s own goal gave United the lead in the 58th minute.
However, Fulham responded in the 72nd minute when Iwobi’s ball into the box was missed by Matthijs de Ligt, and prodded home by former Arsenal forward Smith Rowe.
Fulham held on for a point despite a late chance from Harry Maguire.
