The reaction went well beyond the word that was used. I am not sure any other player would have got it as bad. I am pretty sure worst things have been said on a football pitch with less repercusion, it is what it is.

Oof. Ok I'm done here.

Fulham are so bad. I expect to see Leicester shred them easily.

This rain is crazy.

Wow how do they not score there? Both Tielemans and Fofana hit the post.

Man Utd and Edinson Cavani issue official statements

The Uruguayan striker said: “The message I posted after the match on Sunday was intended as an affectionate greeting to a friend, thanking him for his congratulations after the game. The last thing I wanted to do was cause offence to anyone. I am completely opposed to racism and deleted the message as soon as it was explained that it can be interpreted differently. I would like to sincerely apologise for this.”

In a statement, Manchester United said: “It is clear to us that there was absolutely no malicious intent behind Edinson’s message and he deleted it as soon as he was informed that it could be misconstrued. Edinson has issued an apology for any unintentional offence caused. Manchester United and all of our players are fully committed to the fight against racism.”

Leicester is going to regret missing those excellent changes they had.

For sure, but they deserved to be punished there. Very sloppy sequence.

Even Fulham can score against Leicester...

Penalty

Disaster for the foxes. Lots of game left still though.

Welp, disaster first half for Leicester despite controlling the game.

Fired up Scotty Parker.

Fired up Scotty Parker.

Really wish he does well as a manager. Always liked him.

Fulham finds away to lose points in the second half, it's a Championship team at the end of the day.

Rodgers pulled the right guys. Both Praet and Thomas were awful in the first half.

Praet is always a frustrating player, he's good at everything but not really great at anything, and he's often just there.

One of my favorite Hammers of yesteryear. A proper soldier, akin to Mark Noble but with better ball skills.

Probably the best game Fulham has played so far, see if they can hold this lead.

Barnes. Game on. Really good, smart work from Vardy there.

Great shot from Barnes, and Vardy heading that right to Barnes was great.

A bit surprised Moyes has dropped Haller after scoring last week, but it's a much better team with Antonio in it.

They had to fit Antonio back in, he's been outstanding this year. Not sure if Haller was the right choice for him after his game last week, but he's not been consistent.

Schmeichel went all the way up to the box for the corner, and had to charge back to defend through the middle.

Good win for Fulham, frustrating one for Leicester as I thought they were better in the course of play.
