"While the late goals provided the headlines, one of the afternoon's most surreal moments occurred in the 85th minute. After Harry Maguire was judged to have felled Raul Jimenez in the box, the Mexican striker stepped up and dispatched a clinical penalty into the top corner, cutting United's lead to 2-1. Rather than the usual scenes of frustration or gamesmanship, Manchester United goalkeeper Senne Lammens was seen performing an act of pure sportsmanship."
"As Jimenez turned to celebrate, Lammens calmly picked the ball out of the net and approached the Fulham forward. According to BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball, the Belgian keeper congratulated Raul Jimenez on the class of that penalty, acknowledging the perfection of the strike even as it threatened his side's lead.
