Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believes his side need to show more maturity after blowing the lead to draw 1-1 at Fulham on Sunday and remain without a win this season.

The Red Devils were made to pay for not making more of a dominant first 45 minutes, during which Bruno Fernandes blazed a penalty over the bar.

Amorim, though, was more concerned by what he saw after United took the lead thanks to Rodrigo Muniz’s own goal on the hour mark.

Fulham hit back to level through Emile Smith Rowe 17 minutes from time and ended the game on top.

“I think we scored the goal and then we forgot about how we play,” said Amorim, who has won just seven of his 29 Premier League games in charge.

“We want to win so badly, and that is a good feeling, that we scored a goal and everyone on the pitch was thinking, ‘Let’s hold onto the advantage and try to win the game’. For me that is the moment that we have to enjoy more and push the opponent.

“We have to grow up a lot as a team. For me the most important thing is that during the week they were working really hard, today we worked really hard, and we are going to improve. The moment that changed the game was our goal.”

United captain Fernandes is normally a clinical penalty taker and Amorim said his Portuguese compatriot let the 38th minute miss affect him for the rest of the game.

“You have to put that in the past during the game,” added Amorim. “He is our leader and he has so much responsibility. I felt that he missed the penalty and he was thinking about it during the game. We need to move forward and to play the game.”

The Portuguese coach is under pressure to show improvements after a disastrous 15th-placed finish last season, but so far his new £200 million (A$416.5 million) forward line of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, who again started on the bench, is yet to fire.

Despite an encouraging performance, United lost 1-0 to title-chasing Arsenal in their season opener last weekend and will feel another two points slipped away in west London.

Fulham, however, were left furious at two major decisions that went in United’s favour. The visitors’ penalty came after a VAR intervention when Calvin Bassey and Mason Mount were grappling from a corner.

Yet, when Bassey appeared to be pushed by Leny Yoro in the move that led to United’s goal, the video assistant officials did not get involved.

“I cannot understand. I would like to explain everything to you from the first whistle until the last but it is not my job,” said Fulham boss Marco Silva.

“I don’t want to go in this direction. Everybody in the world saw what happened this afternoon at Craven Cottage.”

– Everton’s new era –

After an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park, the club’s home since 1892, Everton are hoping the move to a new 53,000 capacity stadium will rekindle their bygone glory days.

Only four clubs have won more English top-flight titles than Everton’s nine.

However, they have not won a major trophy for 30 years and spent their final seasons at Goodison battling relegation.

“We’re trying to find a way of moving the club on. I think this is a big step forward for Everton,” said manager David Moyes.

Grealish has so far been the marquee new addition to Moyes’ squad and showed glimpses of the talent that saw Manchester City pay Aston Villa £100 million for him four years ago, providing the assist for both goals.

Iliman Ndiaye scored the final goal at Goodison against Southampton in May and made more history with the first goal at Everton’s new home.

Grealish was the creator with a drilled left-foot cross that Ndiaye timed his run perfectly to meet at the back post on 23 minutes.

Brighton should not have come away from Merseyside empty-handed but wasted a series of chances.

Kaoru Mitoma struck the bar and Jan Paul van Hecke’s effort came back off the post, while Danny Welbeck spooned over with the goal gaping.

James Garner doubled Everton’s lead early in the second period with a blistering strike from Grealish’s lay-off.

Brighton still had the chance to set up a nervy finale, but Jordan Pickford saved Welbeck’s poor penalty to round off a memorable afternoon for the Toffees.

– Nuno no go –

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo insisted he wants to remain in charge after his side’s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.

Callum Hudson-Odoi rescued a point for Forest after Ismaila Sarr’s first-half opener for Palace.

Nuno said on Friday his relationship with owner Evangelos Marinakis had deteriorated as odds on him being the first Premier League manager of the season to be sacked were slashed.

“That is nonsense. That does not make any kind of sense,” said the Portuguese coach on whether he is trying to engineer an exit from the club.

According to several reports, former Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is understood to be a leading candidate for the role should Forest decide to sack Nuno.

The 59-year-old, who left Spurs in June and was replaced by Thomas Frank, is thought to be interested in the role, The Guardian reported.
