In the Premier League match between Manchester United and Fulham, held at Old Trafford, on 28th May 2023, Manchester United boasted a 2-1 victory over Fulham. The data reveals the statistical factors that brought about the outcome.

Manchester United demonstrated an impressive attack and prowess in turning these attacks into goals. Jadon Sancho gave the team an early lead at 38.55 minutes, though Fulham promptly responded at 18.46 minutes with a goal by Kenny Joelle Tete, assisted by Willian to bring about a draw to the first half. United notched their winning goal in the second half with Bruno Fernandes, assisted by Fred at 54:53.

Alongside the goal stats, it's noteworthy to consider the shots on target. There were significant differences in the two teams’ attack, with Manchester United having eight shots on target from their total 21 attempts against Fulham's mere 3 on target from their ten attempts. The over double attempts for United suggests superior offensive efficiency, so their victory was likely anticipated.

Possession was also key and the corner kicks mirror, to some extent, which side had the advantage. Manchester United had five corner kicks versus four from Fulham, casting additional light on Manchester's possession leverage, though both teams were caught offside once.

Dissecting the defense, one can observe a notably aggressive game from both teams with the fouls-sheet recording Manchester United as the most aggressive team, incurring 14 fouls compared to Fulham's 10. Aggression is further evidenced in the number of yellow cards, with Manchester United picking up one and Fulham two, suggesting tough handling from both sides.

In conclusion, Manchester United's greater shot efficiency, offensive pressure, and solid defense were significant contributors to their victory, despite Fulham's formidable defensive and retaliatory efforts. Conversely, Fulham's lower shot efficiency and lack of counteractive measures compared to Manchester United led ultimately to their defeat. Both teams now have key strengths and weakness to focus on in future games.
