Sundiata Post – Fulham substitute Rodrigo Muniz struck in the 82nd minute to give his side a 2-1 Premier League away win over Newcastle United on Saturday, with the visitors coming back from a goal down to grab the victory following a superb second-half effort.
The victory sees Fulham move up to ninth in the table on 36 points, five behind Newcastle, who remain fifth despite a disappointing result and a disjointed performance at home that saw them hit the woodwork twice.
Jacob Murphy played the role of both hero and villain for the Magpies, scoring the opener in the first half before getting a deflection on a Raul Jimenez shot that steered the ball past Martin Dubravka as the Londoners levelled in the 61st minute.
With Sandro Tonali having hit the woodwork for Newcastle in the first half, Alexander Isak smacked a shot off the crossbar in the 75th minute, and that miss was to prove costly seven minutes later when Muniz stole in at the near post to get a touch on Andreas Pereira’s free kick to secure the win.
