Lisandro Martinez clashed with once again as at Craven Cottage.

and Traore previously , with the defender joking after the game: "I sent him to the gym!" Speaking to Sky Sports, Martinez added: "He is difficult to play against and I learned from the first situation. In the first situation he killed me but then I killed him back."

Traore then responded to Martinez on social media as he shared a photograph from training with the caption: "Don't worry. We will meet again". And the pair clashed when Traore came off the bench on Sunday, with Martinez jumping into a challenge on the winger.

Martinez did come off second best, with the defender left in a heap on the ground while Traore stood over him. "What is Lisandro Martinez doing? He has got himself injured, as well. He has got to be so careful as a defender," Lucy Ward said on commentary for TNT Sports.

However, Martinez ultimately had the last laugh as he went on to score the winning goal for the Red Devils with his long-range effort taking a big deflection off Sasa Lukic and looping over Bernd Leno.

"I think I was lucky, but an important win," Martinez told TNT Sports after the game. "I am happy with the way we won the game. It doesn't matter who scores - the most important is the three points.

"It means a lot. Not only to the fans, but for us because we have suffered a lot. It is a hard win, this club the pressure is hard, but we are here. We know how difficult it is. Even a game like today we have to win and be humble after winning."

boss Marco Silva, meanwhile, was hugely frustrated with the result. "Overall, in the game we deserved more and should have taken more from the game," Silva told TNT Sports. "One shot on target from Man Utd - a lucky deflection.

"We were the team that dominated more. We had two or three good moments to score, but I don't remember one dangerous moment from Man Utd. In the first half we were the better team, but in the second half it was more balanced.

"The game was a bit more balanced, and I wanted us to get on the front foot - a really lucky goal from them. After that, the reaction had to come from us, and they sat back with 10 players around the box. The level we are playing at we have to be clinical - if we don't, it is going to be difficult to win."
