One extreme to the other: Fulham ditch cavalier approach but sit back to concede late equaliser

Arbeloa's wait for a League win goes as he tries and fails to park the bus against United - but at least we're not bottom any more!

THE latest in a long line of spawny late goals from Manchester United at Craven Cottage means Alvaro Arbeloa must wait until after a three-week international for his first Premier League victory.

It felt as if Bernd Leno wasn’t going to be beaten in any other way other than a horrible deflection when the German pulled off a string of excellent saves.

And so it proved, when David Affengruber stuck out a foot at a speculative 89th-minute Matheus Cunha shot and gave our SBLIG no chance.  

We are sick to the back teeth of United scoring important late goals at the Cottage, where they have not been beaten since 2009.
