Strikes from Patrick Bamford and Raphinha gave the Whites a first win in the capital since December 2017 and the triumph put United on to 39 points for the Premier League campaign.
Graham Smyth, the YEP's chief football writer, hands out the scores.
7. Stuart Dallas
7 - Hustle and bustle where and when it was needed. Disrupted Fulham's play, got forward to create problems.

10. Tyler Roberts

11. Patrick Bamford
9 - A goal and an assist capped a very good performance, for a player coming into the game with a knock. What a response to the England disappointment.

12. Mateusz Klich
6 - Made a shooting chance for himself but couldn't take it. Rushed around to try and be a nuisance in the late stages.
