In an action-packed game at Craven Cottage Fulham beat nine-man Manchester United 2-0, their first win at home against the Red Devils in over 44 years.

Fulham named the same team that beat Bolton last week. The home started off in the ascendancy with Clint Dempsey nearly scoring with a low drive. Then Berbatov had a clear header but directed it wide.

The hosts were in control of the pace of the game for long periods of the first half with Bobby Zamora in particular spurning the best chance by driving wide of the goal on 15 minutes. Read the full story

Manchester United go into the game at Craven Cottage four points ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the table and smarting after their first home league defeat of the season to bitter rivals Liverpool. Sir Alex Ferguson intimated after the defeat that they need to show the character of champions and bounce back straight away to winning form, form that has seen them win five and lose only one of their last six league games.

Rio said in an interview with Manutd.com “I’m pleased to have avoided the English teams at this stage, emotionally and physically it would have been draining – probably more than against a European team – because there’s so much that goes along with playing English sides in this tournament. We know that firsthand from playing Chelsea last season. Read the full story
