The 3rd consecutive victory in the championship for Manchester United, the 3rd with Michael Carricka on the bench. The “Devils” are reborn with their former midfielder on the bench. After defeating the two contenders for the title this season, Arsenal and City, the next “victim” was Fulham. The home team started the match very well, as they scored with Casemiro and Cunha in the 19th and 56th minutes. But when it was thought that the victory was mortgaged for the “Red Devils”, the Londoners of Fulham find strength and react. Initially, a penalty converted into a goal by Raul Jimenez in the 85th and a super goal by Kevin in the first minute of extra time, restored the balance. However, Carrick's men did not give up, as 3 minutes later in the 94th minute, Benjamin Sesko received an assist from the right from Bruno Fernandez and with a beautiful turn stopped the ball in the far corner, giving his team a very important success. Thanks to these 3 points, United now touch 4th place with 41 points.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa disappointed, unable to keep up with the two leading teams, Arsenal and Manchester City. After a very good series in recent weeks, Unai Emery's team lost at home to Brentford 0-1. Ouattara in the last seconds of the first half sealed the victory for the guests at Villa Park. To highlight the fact that Brentford played from the 42nd minute with one player less, after leaving the game with a red card for Schade. After this defeat, Aston Villa remains in 3rd place with 46 points, being overtaken by City and being separated by 7 points from the "gunners" of Arsenal.
