‘I was lucky’ – Lisandro Martinez speaks out on winner against Fulham and singles Man Utd team-mate out for special praise

Europa League

FC FCSB

Manchester United

<p>The Argentine found the breakthrough in a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fulham-lisandro-martinez-harry-maguire-rasmus-hojlund/blt5031b249d40be73a" target="_blank">cagey and often uninspiring match at Craven Cottage </a>when he let fly from outside the box and saw the ball loop off Fulham's Sasa Lukic and into the net in the 78th minute. And he was happy to acknowledge that fortune had paid its part in the goal with United earning just their third away win of the season in the Premier League.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>"I think I was lucky, but an important win. I am happy with the way we won the game. It doesn't matter who scores - the most important is the three points," Martinez told <em>TNT Sports</em>.</p>

WHAT MARTINEZ SAID

<p>Martinez was speaking alongside United youngster Toby Collyer, who made a goal-saving clearance on the line in the second half when he headed away Joachim Andersen's effort to preserve the visitors' lead. And he paid tribute to the 21-year-old. Martinez said: "I am so happy because of this guy. This guy is a big example for the young generation. He is working so hard every day and he is so humble. It means a lot. Not only to the fans, but for us because we have suffered a lot. It is a hard win, in this club the pressure is hard, but we are here. We know how difficult it is. Even a game like today we have to win and be humble after winning."</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Martinez's deflected strike was the first and only shot on target that United had throughout the 90 minutes. But it was enough to give them their eighth consecutive victory at Craven Cottage. Their last defeat there was in the 2008-09 season.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Red Devils will hope to record a third consecutive win in all competitions when they face FCSB in their final Europa League game on Thursday. Amorim's side are fourth in the Europa League standings and on track to automatically qualify for the last 16 of the competition. Their next Premier League game is at home to Crystal Palace next Sunday.</p>
