Smith Rowe denies United their first victory of season

Yoro gives Red Devils the lead but they can't hold on at Craven Cottage

EMILE SMITH Rowe scored with his first touch to deny Manchester United a first win of the season in a 1-1 draw at Fulham.

Smith Rowe tucked home Alex Iwobi’s cross to cancel out Rodrigo Muniz’s own goal and end United's incredible run of eight successive victories at Craven Cottage.

Visiting captain Bruno Fernandes also missed a first-half penalty on a frustrating afternoon for United boss Ruben Amorim,

For the last 40 minutes United fielded their new £200million frontline of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, but all they had to show for it was a deflected header from teenage centre-back Leny Yoro which went in off Muniz.

Sesko started on the bench with Mason Mount leading the line and Rasmus Hojlund, linked with a move away next week, conspicuous by his absence in the squad.

The visitors almost took the lead inside two minutes when Mount laid the ball back to Cunha whose deliberate, sidefooted shot went through the legs of Calvin Bassey and hit the foot of Bernd Leno's post.
