Fulham's Joao Palhinha has suggested the best team lost in their last-gasp defeat to Manchester United.
The Portuguese made the admission after watching the Cottagers suffer a heartbreaking loss to a Manchester side for the second week in succession.
Last week it was heartache at the Etihad whereas today it was United who inflicted the damage on Marco Silva's side. Alejandro Garnacho snatched a stoppage-time winner after Daniel James had cancelled out Christian Eriksen's opener.

United had gone ahead after 14 minutes when Christian Eriksen capitalised on a well-worked quick break from the visitors before slotting the ball into an empty net before Daniel James also struck from close range for a deserved leveller – the on-loan Leeds player’s first goal of the season.
But Garnacho's late goal stole the points for United, who had been on the back foot for much of the second half. And, despite picking up the man-of-the-match award, 27-year-old midfielder Palhinha clearly didn't believe Erik ten Hag's side were worthy winners.
"No words can explain what me and my teammates feel in this moment," he told Sky Sports. "We are really disappointed with the result because I think we deserved to win this game.
"We did our best and we didn't deserve this result. But we need to keep strong. When you play a team like United, you know you need to be concentrated for the whole 90 minutes. It's the little details, you know?
"In the last minute, like against City. It's really disappointing. We will keep fighting and give our best for the rest of the season. Football is like this - sometimes the best team doesn't win."
