Manchester United are very good at coming back from behind and then winning. Through this comeback, there is also a Premier League record.

In Thursday’s Premier League game (1/21/2021) in the early morning Indonesian West time, the Red Devils came back to win at the Fulham headquarters.

In the Fulham vs Man United match, Ademola Lookman managed to put the home team ahead in the fifth minute. From an underdeveloped position, the Red Devils pioneered revival.

Edinson Cavani, who played the full game in this match, managed to get back to level with a goal in the 21st minute. That was his first goal after serving a suspension period.

In the 65th minute, Manchester United’s winning goal was born thanks to a beautiful goal from Paul Pogba. This is also Paul Pogba’s second goal in his last three games for Manchester United.

On Opta’s record, this is the 94th time Manchester United have won in the Premier League after conceding the first goal. This amount is a record in the history of the competition.

Throughout this season, Man United have come back from behind to win seven times. Only Newcastle in the 2001/2002 season (10 times) and Man United itself in the 2012/2013 season (9 times) have taken more comeback actions over the course of a Premier League season.

The result at the Fulham headquarters is the first time in 2021 that Man United have lagged and then won in the Premier League. Before this, the last time Manchester United returned was when they visited Sheffield United in mid-December. At that time, Man United won 3-2 after losing a goal to the home team.
