Manchester United held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham

-

Manchester United secured a late 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday, September 20, 2026.

An unfortunate, farcical own goal by Manchester United defender Lisandro Martínez in the 63rd minute initially provided Fulham with the lead. Martínez inadvertently deflected the ball past his own goalkeeper, Senne Lammens, following Lammens' save of an effort from Calvin Bassey.

Underperforming for much of the match under manager Michael Carrick, United managed to obtain a point in the 89th minute when Matheus Cunha struck a shot from distance. His effort received a substantial deflection off Fulham defender David Affengruber and surpassed goalkeeper Bernd Leno, leaving the hosts disappointed.

The draw leaves Manchester United without a victory in three matches across all competitions, positioned 12th in the Premier League table heading into the international break. Meanwhile, Álvaro Arbeloa's Fulham remains without a league victory this season but managed to ascend off the bottom of the table.

The 1-1 draw provides minimal encouragement for Manchester United in the Premier League table. While Carrick's side managed to avoid a third consecutive defeat in a demanding week, they head into the international break situated in 12th place - having accumulated merely five points from their opening five fixtures to equal their poorest start to a Premier League campaign, previously established in 2014-15.

United will now seek to regroup during the international break before resuming action on October 10, when they host Tottenham at Old Trafford.

Gary Neville has issued a harsh critique on television, highlighting a marked absence of effort and coordination during a fragmented second-half display. Additionally, Michael Carrick defended his side's physical condition post-match, firmly disagreeing with Cunha's assertion that the team lacked energy and dismissing fan criticism regarding his tactical substitutions.

Nevertheless, both mainstream media outlets and supporters perceive the outcome as merely concealing fundamental issues within a faltering Manchester United squad that has secured only a single victory across their initial four Premier League fixtures.

The "Torenza" video is believed to be AI-generated

The viral story of a woman arriving at JFK with a passport from the non-existent country "Torenza" is a recent hoax, likely an AI-generated video that has spread on social media. It is not a real incident and is based on an older urban legend about a man from the nonexistent country of "Taured". The story claimed the woman had arrived from Tokyo, her passport was flawless, and she was confused when told her country did not exist. Some versions claimed she was from a parallel dimension and vanished from custody. The video shows confused immigration officers and the woman reportedly saying, "Then this isn't my world". The truth: The video is a work of fiction. There are no official reports from JFK airport, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or credible news outlets confirming the incident. Fact-checking quickly revealed the video was an AI-generated fiction and no such incident occurred. The episode is seen as a cautionary tale about misinformation cr...

  Speaking on October 6, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump said that Hamas is "agreeing to things that are very important" in negotiations over a Gaza ceasefire and hostage exchange deal. Indirect talks between Israeli and Hamas delegations began in Egypt that same day regarding Trump's 20-point peace plan. “I have red lines; if certain things aren’t met, we’re not going to do it,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked if he had preconditions, including Hamas agreeing to disarm." “But I think we’re doing very well, and I think Hamas has been agreeing to things that are very important." “I think we’re going to have a deal. It’s a hard thing for me to say that when for years and years they’ve been trying to have a deal,” Trump said. Trump's remarks came after Hamas issued a statement on October 3 accepting some parts of the proposed deal, including the release of all remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Hamas noted tha...
