In short
- Cunha’s deflected 89th-minute strike earned Manchester United a 1-1 draw at Fulham on September 20 after a Lisandro Martínez own goal.
Matheus Cunha scored in the 89th minute as Manchester United drew 1-1 at Fulham in the Premier League on September 20, 2026.
His shot from outside the penalty area deflected off Fulham defender David Affengruber and beat goalkeeper Bernd Leno, cancelling out a Lisandro Martínez own goal. The result was reported by The Guardian and Al Jazeera.
Fulham had taken the lead after Calvin Bassey drove forward and forced a save from United goalkeeper Senne Lammens. Martínez’s attempted intervention sent the ball towards his own net, and Lammens could not clear it.
United had struck the woodwork twice before the interval but struggled to create openings after falling behind. Cunha’s late intervention secured a point after defeats by Manchester City in the league and Brighton in the League Cup.
For Fulham, the equaliser prolonged the wait for a first Premier League victory under Álvaro Arbeloa. The hosts had begun the day at the bottom of the table, according to The Guardian’s match report.
