Bruno Fernandes has said the referee was not to blame for Manchester United’s missed penalty in their 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. United were unable to take all three points as Fulham fought back to earn a point in front of their home fans.
The match ended 1-1, with United’s hopes of converting a key chance from the spot fading away as the hosts struck back to deny them victory. Fernandes stressed that the decision to award the penalty came from the official, and that responsibility for the miss rests with the players rather than the referee.
This result keeps United in the mix as they look ahead to their next fixtures, with Fernandes emphasizing a need to move on quickly and focus on improving finishing in training.
Summary: Fernandes defends the referee after a 1-1 draw with Fulham, insisting the fault for the missed penalty lies with the players, not the official.
Additional notes and context:
