Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa has accused the referees of helping Manchester United avoid defeat in their Premier League clash on Sunday.
Manchester United secured a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage after Matheus Cunha scored a deflected equaliser in the 89th minute.
However, Arbeloa questioned the decision to award United a free-kick shortly before Cunha found the net.
The Fulham boss believed the decision against Cesar Palacios for a foul on Harry Maguire was too soft.
Arbeloa also claimed that referee Michael Oliver and his team gave most of the decisions to Manchester United during the game.
He suggested the officials were influenced by the controversial decision in Manchester United’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the Manchester derby last weekend.
Erling Haaland scored what was initially given as the winning goal for City, although the decision was later criticised because of an officiating error.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Arbeloa said: “All fouls for them.
“You can see before they scored, the foul against Maguire. He’s a guy who is 100 kilos. Every decision was for them.
“And I knew. I knew after the game against Man City that they would not let Manchester United lose here.
“We deserved a little bit more.”
