Fulham hit back to level through Emile Smith Rowe 17 minutes from time and ended the game on top.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we scored the goal and then we forgot about how we play,\u201d said Amorim, who has won just seven of his 29 Premier League games in charge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to win so badly, and that is a good feeling, that we scored a goal and everyone on the pitch was thinking, \u2018Let\u2019s hold onto the advantage and try to win the game\u2019. For me that is the moment that we have to enjoy more and push the opponent.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe 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.\u201d <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to put that in the past during the game,\u201d added Amorim. \u201cHe 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.\u201d <\/p>\n
The Portuguese coach is under pressure to show improvements after a disastrous 15th-placed finish last season, but so far his new \u00a3200 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Fulham, however, were left furious at two major decisions that went in United\u2019s favour. The visitors\u2019 penalty came after a VAR intervention when Calvin Bassey and Mason Mount were grappling from a corner.<\/p>\n
Yet, when Bassey appeared to be pushed by Leny Yoro in the move that led to United\u2019s goal, the video assistant officials did not get involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot understand. I would like to explain everything to you from the first whistle until the last but it is not my job,\u201d said Fulham boss Marco Silva.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to go in this direction. Everybody in the world saw what happened this afternoon at Craven Cottage.\u201d<\/p>\n
– Everton\u2019s new era –<\/p>\n
After an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park, the club\u2019s home since 1892, Everton are hoping the move to a new 53,000 capacity stadium will rekindle their bygone glory days.<\/p>\n
Only four clubs have won more English top-flight titles than Everton\u2019s nine. <\/p>\n
However, they have not won a major trophy for 30 years and spent their final seasons at Goodison battling relegation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re trying to find a way of moving the club on. I think this is a big step forward for Everton,\u201d said manager David Moyes.<\/p>\n
Grealish has so far been the marquee new addition to Moyes\u2019 squad and showed glimpses of the talent that saw Manchester City pay Aston Villa \u00a3100 million for him four years ago, providing the assist for both goals.<\/p>\n
Iliman Ndiaye scored the final goal at Goodison against Southampton in May and made more history with the first goal at Everton\u2019s new home.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
Brighton should not have come away from Merseyside empty-handed but wasted a series of chances.<\/p>\n
Kaoru Mitoma struck the bar and Jan Paul van Hecke\u2019s effort came back off the post, while Danny Welbeck spooned over with the goal gaping.<\/p>\n
James Garner doubled Everton\u2019s lead early in the second period with a blistering strike from Grealish\u2019s lay-off.<\/p>\n
Brighton still had the chance to set up a nervy finale, but Jordan Pickford saved Welbeck\u2019s poor penalty to round off a memorable afternoon for the Toffees.<\/p>\n
– Nuno no go –<\/p>\n
Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo insisted he wants to remain in charge after his side\u2019s 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n
Callum Hudson-Odoi rescued a point for Forest after Ismaila Sarr\u2019s first-half opener for Palace.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is nonsense. That does not make any kind of sense,\u201d said the Portuguese coach on whether he is trying to engineer an exit from the club.<\/p>\n
