Arbeloa in Hot Water After Claiming Refs 'Would Not Let Man Utd Lose'

  • Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa suggested Manchester United received favorable officiating during Sunday's 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, alleging bias influenced the result.
  • Arbeloa's skepticism followed last week's controversial VAR decision in the Manchester derby, where Erling Haaland's winning goal was incorrectly awarded.
  • Fulham led via a 63rd-minute own goal from Lisandro Martinez, but Matheus Cunha equalized in the 89th minute; Arbeloa criticized a free-kick awarded to Harry Maguire, stating officials "would not let Manchester United lose here."
  • The draw moved Fulham out of the bottom spot in the Premier League, lifting the Cottagers into 19th place ahead of Tottenham on goal difference.
  • After the three-week international break, Fulham will face newly promoted Ipswich at Portman Road on Saturday, October 10.
