Second half comeback seal win for Iwobi and Bassey’s Fulham against relegated Southampton

Stephen Oladehinde 17:06 - 26.04.2025

Fulham found a way to get a win and keep their chase for European football alive following a victory over Southampton.

The Cottagers have had a disappointing week, having recently lost to Chelsea last weekend following two late goals.

They needed to find a way back to challenge for a European spot next season and got a 2-1 win following a second-half comeback.

As it happened 

Southampton interim manager Simon Rusk made one change from the side that held West Ham 1-1 last week, with striker Paul Onuachu missing from the matchday squad.

Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey made the lineup as Marco Silva made two changes to the Fulham side that suffered a late defeat against Chelsea last weekend.

It was not a good start for Fulham as they conceded the first goal in the 14th minute of the first half after Jack Stephens headed in a whipped-in free kick into the net.

The visitors got back into the game in the second half, with Emile Smith Rowe scoring the equaliser.

Fulham left it late to crush Southampton after Ryan Sessegnon headed in a cross from Adama Traore. 

The Cottagers sealed a 2-1 comeback, with the win keeping Fulham's chase for European football alive.
