Darren Bent's 94th minute equaliser marked the sixth late goal that has cost Manchester United dearly this season.

Adam Lallana, Kim Bo-Kyung, Bryan Oviedo, Wilfried Bony and Phil Bardsley's strikes have all contributed to United's trophyless domestic campaign under David Moyes, and Bent's leveller for Fulham may deprive the champions of Champions League football for the first time in 22 years.

Late heartbreakers were at Old Trafford were scarce under Sir Alex Ferguson, but they could be brutal...

Middlesbrough, 2004: Already reeling from Rio Ferdinand's suspension, United had conceded four goals in his absence against Wolves and Everton, but sieved three against Middlesbrough. Boro went 2-0 up through a Juninho double but Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ryan Giggs made it 2-2. Joseph Desire Job, however, silenced Old Trafford with an optimistic effort which defeated Tim Howard.

Porto, 2004: Had Tim Howard held onto Benny McCarthy's free-kick the Premier League would have been a very different place. Costinha would not have scored on the rebound and sent Porto through to the Champions League quarter-finals, José Mourinho would not have won the European Cup at the age of 41 and Chelsea would probably have appointed Didier Deschamps instead.

Arsenal, 2006: The Gunners were well worth their win at United, who had won their opening four League games. Emmanuel Adebayor latched onto Cesc Fàbregas' eye-of-the-needle pass in the 86th minute to beat Tomasz Kuszczak. (credit:PA)
