Big poor performance from Manchester United at home against Fulham (1-2). After a good series, the Red Devils were stopped in their tracks by Cottagers. The situation settled in the second half when Fulham found the fault thanks to a goal from Calvin Bassey (65th). Despite MU’s equalizer from Harry Maguire (89th), the Londoners were liberated by Alex Iwobi (90th+7) even though they had not won since 2003 at Old Trafford. The liveliest match of the afternoon was undoubtedly that between Aston Villa and Nottingham (4-2). The Villans thought they had made the task easy by scoring three goals quite quickly in the first half with the essential Ollie Watkins (4th) accompanied by a double from Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz (29th, 39th). It was without counting on the reaction of Forest, before half-time by Moussa Niakhate (45th + 5) then just after the break with Morgan Gibbs-White (48th). Finally, the Villans took cover following a fourth goal through Leon Bailey (61st) to consolidate their 4th place.
