Iwobi struggles as Fulham’s second-half performance seal win against Newcastle

Fulham secured an important win against Newcastle at St James Stadium following a second-half performance.

The Cottagers had a disappointing first half in the game, having conceded the first goal against the Magpies.

However, they rallied around in the second half to get two goals and seal a 2-1 win against Newcastle.

As it happened

Eddie Howe has decided not to make any changes to the Newcastle side, who defeated Southampton 3-1 last week.

Marco Silva has been forced into making one change to the Fulham side, who were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United last Sunday.

Newcastle played with much intensity and took the lead in the 27th minute from a Jacob Murphy strike, ending the first half with a one-goal advantage.

However, in the 72nd minute of the second half, Raul Jimenez equalised for the visitors from a cross from Adama Traore.

Just as the game got to a close, Fulham took the lead via Rodrigo Muniz's strike after an inswinging freekick from Andreas Pereira.

Fulham held their ground in the remainder of the game and soaked the pressure from Newcastle to seal a comeback victory.
