United Review: Late Garnacho win seals United win

 Fulham 1 - 2 Manchester United

How important could this win be at the end of the season?

Manchester United snatched a dramatic stoppage time winner through substitute Alejandro Garnacho as they beat Fulham in a thrilling final Premier League match before the Qatar World Cup.

In what was a frantic second half at Craven Cottage, Fulham looked to have earned a point before the 18-year-old Argentine raced through and arrowed a shot into the bottom corner past the former Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno.

Former United winger Dan James had earlier come off the bench to grab an equaliser from Tom Cairney's low cross to give the hosts what looked to be a well-deserved point after David de Gea had previously made several fine saves.

Christian Eriksen had previously put the visitors ahead in the first half with his first United goal, sliding in to finish at the back post from a low cross from Bruno Fernandes.

But Garnacho's winner with what was the last kick of the match gave United the three points.

Great way to head into the World Cup for Manchester United

The Premier League now takes a six-week break because of the Qatar World Cup, with no domestic top-flight matches until 26 December.

The win leaves the Red Devils fifth, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal and three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with a game in hand on Antonio Conte's side. If you had spoken to United fans after the Brentford 4-0 defeat, I'm sure many would have taken this situation. 

More social media reaction

The United end looked incredible after the late winner. Did you spend a Sunday afternoon at Craven Cottage?

Statman Dave provided interesting stats and data after the match. Did you know Alejandro Garnacho is the 4th youngest academy graduate to score a Premier League goal for Manchester United?

Lisandro Martinez posted on the same social media platform: "Vamoss!! We go into the break with a win and showing our spirit until the end!"
