Man Utd 2-2 Fulham Highlights

Darren Bent scored an injury-time equaliser for Fulham in a remarkable draw with Manchester United.

The Cottagers led when Lewis Holtby’s ball over the top was steered home by the stretching Steve Sidwell.

Fulham defended solidly but United scored twice in 80 seconds through Robin van Persie from close range and Michael Carrick with a deflected shot.

But Bent rescued a point with a header after David De Gea had only parried Kieran Richardson’s effort.

Their last three Premier League games have been goalless at half-time but they have lost all three, conceding a total of seven goals without reply.

Under Rene Meulensteen, Fulham have conceded 29 goals in 11 games, five more than they did in 13 games under Martin Jol this season.
