Manchester United’s search for a first Premier League win continued with a 1-1 draw at Fulham on Sunday.
After a promising display in their opening loss to Arsenal, United squandered a lead when Bruno Fernandes missed a first-half penalty.
Leny Yoro’s header, deflected in by Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, gave United a 58th-minute lead, but Emile Smith Rowe equalized in the 73rd via Alex Iwobi’s cross.
United’s £200m attacking signings—Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko—have yet to score, with Sesko again a substitute.
Everton kicked off life at their new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium with a 2-0 win over Brighton.
Jack Grealish, on loan from Manchester City, assisted Iliman Ndiaye’s volley and James Garner’s long-range strike, matching his assist tally from two seasons at City.
Jordan Pickford’s penalty save, aided by his water bottle notes, sealed Everton’s first win.
At Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest drew 1-1 amid fan tensions. Palace, relegated to the Conference League after UEFA rule breaches involving Forest’s owner Evangelos Marinakis, saw Ismaila Sarr score before Callum Hudson-Odoi’s equalizer.
