Fulham 0-3 Man Utd: Pogba double & Martial stunner help Utd go 4th over Chelsea

Anthony Martial and Paul Pogba combined to clinical effect to give Manchester United a comfortable win at Fulham.

Match Report

Manchester United moved into the top four of the Premier League table with a 3-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday. 

Two goals from Paul Pogba and a superb solo effort from Anthony Martial secured a comfortable win for the visitors, their 10th in 11 matches in all competitions under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. 

United, who kept player-of-the-month Marcus Rashford on the bench as they made six changes from the 1-0 win at Leicester City, were rarely troubled by a Fulham side who have now lost 23 of their last 24 league meetings with 'big six' opposition. 

14' GOAL! Fulham 0-1 Man Utd (Pogba)

Oh wow, what a strike from Paul Pogba, from a seemingly impossible angle!

Le Marchand loses out needlessly again 30 yards out, and Herrera lifts it over his challenge and spreads for Martial on the left. 

He finds his fellow Frenchman on the left of the box; Pogba looks up for Lukaku in the box, but instead goes for goal with Rico gambling off his line. He finds the back of the net with a superb effort!

23' GOAL! Fulham 0-2 Man Utd (Martial)

WHAT A GOAL from Anthony Martial. It's individiual brilliance, and it puts United in complete control!

Fulham lose it high up the pitch again, and Jones feeds Martial in his own half. He has 60 yards to goal, but does it all by himself!

On the gallop, and with Odoi tracking back, he slips past Odoi, then Le Marchand, and finds the bottom corner from inside the box. Wow.

62' CHANCE! Herrera's shot saved

Herrera thunders one towards goal from 15 yards, but his compatriot Rico beats it away from his face well. 

65' Penalty Goal! Fulham 0-3 Man Utd (Pogba)

Lukaku piles forward well, passes behind Mata inside the box, but Le Marchand needlessly brings him down.

Pogba steps up, goes right, Rico guesses correctly, but it's a superb strike. Middle of the goal, side of the net.

72' SAVE! De Gea denies Mitrovic's header

Christie has it on the right, finds Mitrovic with a fine cross, and his header for the far corner is saved and held by De Gea!
