'Super hero!' - Manchester United fans go wild after dramatic Alejandro Garnacho winner vs Fulham

Alejandro Garnacho sent Manchester United's supporters absolutely barmy after netting a 93rd-minute winner to help them beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon.

After seeing Christian Eriksen's first-half opener cancelled out by former winger Daniel James just past the hour mark, Garnacho, who had earlier stepped off the bench to replace Anthony Martial, stroked home a dramatic winner deep into stoppage time. The Argentine kept his cool to roll the ball past goalkeeper Bernd Leno and seal a priceless victory for Erik ten Hag's side.

The 18-year-old played a lovely give-and-go with Eriksen, continued his run into the penalty area and cooly slotted home, first time, to send the away end behind Leno's goal into raptures. It marked his third goal involvement in his last two matches, both as a substitute.

The victory has kept United in fifth-place, but moved them to within three points of the top-four, meaning they will resume their campaign after the World Cup in a very strong position. Perhaps more importantly, though, the Reds now have a four-point gap over Liverpool in sixth.

Unsurprisingly, Garnacho's late heroics sent United's supporters wild, both those in the away end on the banks of the Thames and those watching at home. Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what they had to say in response to Garnacho's last-gasp winner.
