Fulham 1-3 Manchester United
Fulham crashed to their third-straight defeat as Manchester United cruised to victory at Craven Cottage to turn up the heat on manager Martin Jol.
Goals from Antonio Valencia, Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney saw the champions race into a 3-0 lead, before Alex Kacaniklic's second-half strike restored some pride for the hosts.
Jol made one change from the side that lost to Southampton last weekend, with Ashkan Dejagah handed a rare start in place of Darren Bent, who dropped to the bench.
The hosts started brightly, with Pajtim Kasami forcing an early save out of David De Gea.
However, it was the visitors who took the lead inside 10 minutes. Van Persie played in Rooney, who picked out Valencia to tap the ball in from close range.
Fulham went close on 18 minutes, but Rafael's last-ditch tackle denied Dimitar Berbatov after Scott Parker's defence-splitting pass.
The home side were dealt a hammer blow moments later when Van Persie smashed home an unstoppable second, although Fulham felt Parker was fouled by Adnan Januzaj in the build up.
Fulham improved after the break, with Kasami firing a long shot wide at the beginning of De Gea's left post.
And they pulled one back through sub Kacaniklic, whose shot took a wicked deflection off Rooney to leave De Gea stranded.
The Cottagers almost scored a second on 75 minutes, but Chris Smalling was in the right place to clear Berbatov's effort.
Sub Bent was denied by the woodwork 60 seconds after coming on, with his header from a Berbatov cross clipping the bar.
Fulham: Stekelenburg, Riether, Senderos, Amorebieta, Richardson, Ruiz (Taarabt 74), Parker (Bent 83), Sidwell, Dejagah (Kacaniklic 61), Kasami, Berbatov.
Subs (not used): Stockdale, Karagounis, Hughes, Boateng.
