Fulham 1 Newcastle 4 – The three big points that I’m taking from the matchAfter the earlier enforced break in September, it seemed to help make this month’s second gap feel even longer than usual, without proper football.Prior to the team news, it looked as though we would be without Isak for a couple of weeks, with Wood and ASM late checks. Thankfully, Bruno and Wilson were ok to play.
The first half started off fast, with Wilson hitting the post from a toe-poked follow up after a Burn snapshot, then not a few moments later, Chalobah got a tackle on Longstaff all wrong, and was sent off! Then just after the half hour mark, an absolutely outrageous volley is put into the top corner by who else but… Almiron! Only bangers from the Paraguayan apparently. Bad to worse for Fulham as Mitrovic limped off and 10 minutes later, yet another corner, Botman’s free header tipped onto the post by Leno, but Sean Longstaff there to smash home the rebound. Newcastle in cruise control now, Fulham all at sea.
Anderson barged through on the 82nd minute, almost setting up Almiron for another tap in, but not quite. Not quite the perfect day, on the 88th minute Kabano got a cross in for Decordova-Reid to knock a header past a stranded Pope, substitute defenders Lascelles and Lewis not closing fast enough, but only a consolation for Fulham. Fraser denied making it five just before full time, a hair / bootlace offside.
So it was great to see a ruthless streak in the players today, penning back Fulham, battering Leno in goal, and generally giving every player in white a horrible time. Goal difference might make a significant difference at the end of the season, you never know…Obviously a ten man team is not the fairest of benchmarks to set, but the deliveries by Trippier, Bruno, Almiron and yes, even Murphy, were brilliant today.
