AI GeneratedThis match commentary describes a competitive encounter where Fulham takes a 1-0 lead against Manchester United. The game is characterized by several strong saves from both goalkeepers and persistent attacking pressure from Fulham, eventually resulting in a breakthrough via a Martinez own goal sparked by the determination of Calvin Bassi.
Three and a half minutes on the clock, pulling with the same start, 11 that took to the field at Anfield last weekend.
As I said earlier, if they play as well as they did up there, we get a result and there's a shot from Garcia,
who's not too far away to pick out Andy Robinson.
And then the shot from Garcia, he set himself, he wanted to get the shot away early as he was being closed down,
it was always off target.
Fair play to Appengruber tracking the run.
And he opposed from the point of view of the cross, here's Fernandez swinging in another cross.
Evaded just about everybody, smashed towards goal by Martínez, still in the penalty area.
And the Berger got his head on it.
And then Martínez, the left footed shot, it's a great save from Bernardo.
He let in in the first couple of games, but in the last two or three weeks,
he on more than one occasion has made really important saves.
And that was one of them.
Yeah, it really was, he's cut across it nicely, Martínez is swinging back in,
maybe it's got a little bit closer to the goalkeeper.
It's from Fulham.
Charles gets it forward for Alex Iwobi, back in for Shea Charles.
Did well to keep possession, he almost lost it, but he finds Alex Iwobi.
The ball in, Garcia.
Just evaded him at the crucial moment, but he's such a hard worker, isn't he, Garcia?
Finds Kelvin Bassett, squares it for Shea Charles.
Zapp and Gruber, good ball forward for Josh King, who receives it, turns into the box.
He gets the right footed shot away.
Martínez did enough to put him off, just got across to cover.
The shot was always heading just wide of the goal and into the crowd.
But lovely little move, Jamie, a sweet turn and shot from Josh,
just couldn't quite keep it on target.
So Fulham half, pushes it out for Mbermo.
Clever looking ball, into the box.
And we've been done here.
Oh, it's hit the post, thankfully.
Kelvin Bassett belts it clear, they should be in front.
It was a really clever ball by Brian Mbermo in the first place.
In behind the Fulham defence, we got caught out to Sander Berger.
We've moved it nicely, Fulham.
Kelvin Bassett curls one down the left-hand channel.
Lovely ball.
Alex Iwobi with the early cross coming in.
It's over, everybody, with Josh King coming in.
Caught it on the half-volley, went to side-foot it,
trying to keep it on target.
It was straight at the keeper, unfortunately, in the end.
Alex Iwobi, that's a nice turn from Alex.
Great, a bit of space for himself, finds Anthony Robinson.
The cross coming in.
Paul Garcia on the volley, I think it hit a defender on the way through.
Now Sander Berger with a shot, and that's a great save by Lemmons.
A good save as well, as they've still yet to score for Fulham.
The crowd would have loved that one.
Well-struck, low effort, and Lemmons had to make a really good save.
Here's Alex Iwobi.
Oscar Bob on the turn.
Oh, he's unlucky.
You could see exactly what he wanted to do.
He rolled the defender, got it onto his right foot 15 yards from goal,
and he went to just roll it, slide it inside the far post as we look.
Corner coming in, headed away by Timothy Castagne.
Driven by Luke Shaw, comes back to Kobi Mainu.
He has a go.
Calvin Bassi with a good block.
He comes out, does really well to dispossess Kobi Mainu.
That's great from the Fulham captain.
Oscar Bob carrying it forward.
We've got men left and right.
Bassi's still going, making a run in the penalty area.
Alex Iwobi plays it for Josh King.
Onto the right foot.
Oh, it's a great save by Lemmons for the right boot.
He's on target.
The only way he could save it was if he could stretch his right foot to get to it,
and he did.
He's turned it behind for a corner.
Jim, you mentioned about T. Lemmons being a decent player on the ball.
Off it, he's really struggling.
State of mind, but he'll be well satisfied, I think, with what he's seen.
Oscar Bob surely was felt there.
That's got to be a free kick, but play goes on.
Fernandes turns back onto his left foot, gets the shot away.
Anthony Robertson blocks it.
Rashford pushes it into the box, and then Kunja just swings a boot at it.
It's King right-hand side.
We've got players in the box.
Josh carrying it into the penalty area.
Goes for the byline, pulls it back.
Harry Maguire was there, though, to block it.
He's never going to find Garcia.
Calvin Bassi doing well to win it back for Fulham.
Kunja goes to ground.
Calvin with his shot.
Oh, it's an own goal!
Yes, it is!
Fulham are in front.
It's 1-0.
Calvin Bassi deserves all the credit.
It's actually a Martinez own goal.
Let's hope they're scoring for Fulham.
Great work again from Calvin Bassi getting forward.
He smashed the shot on target.
The keeper saved it.
Sammy Lammonds, and then he's come back, and he's hit Martinez.
He's had a fluke against us to win the game for United here in the past.
He's going to have to swallow that now because it's his own goal that's put Fulham in front.
But great work again from Calvin Bassi.
He got forward with real determination, Fulham.
And real aplomb.
It's been some good stuff from Fulham.
Corner from in front of the cottage.
He does play it short to the edge of the box.
Marcus Rashford trying to work it onto his right foot.
He finds...
...Enfermo.
And that's another terrific save from Bert Leno.
We're right behind that as Enfermo set himself with his left foot.
He's perfectly...
It looks...
He'll do it in fairness.
No.
Oh, it's another good save from Bert Leno, I tell you what.
He's definitely had his week to fix this morning.
Because Cunha struck that really well.
It was placed inside the near post as we look.
And he's seen that late burn as well.
Look at that, Jamie.
Just seen the replay.
And people say that he's never been a good shot stopper.
And they both did well.
Yeah, we've brought down the age of the squad as well, haven't we?
Yeah.
Calvin Bassi.
Brilliant again.
Finds Josh King.
Palacios.
Going forward with menace.
Picks out Kevin.
Right-hand channel.
Onto the right foot.
Goes for goal.
The keeper pushed it away again.
And Gary Maguire being roundly booed.
And understandably so.

Pushes it out to Dorku.
Left-hand side.
Faced by Timothy Castagna.
There's a chance for the shot.
Oh, no.
That's deflected again, is it?
Massively so.
Mateus Cunha with the shot.
So lucky.
