EPL: Man United claim comeback win over Fulham to end season in third | Football News – Times of India
Manchester United secured a 2-1 victory against Fulham in their final Premier League match of the season, with Jadon Sancho and Bruno Fernandes finding the net to complete a comeback win at Old Trafford.
Fulham took an early lead in the 19th minute when Kenny Tete headed in a corner from Willian at the near post.

The momentum continued in the second half, with Fred delivering a perfectly timed pass to Bruno Fernandes, who executed a delicate chip to score the winning goal in the 55th minute.
