Overview
- Fulham secured their first Premier League win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Hull at Craven Cottage, Alex Iwobi scoring from a Sander Berge pass in the 33rd minute.
- The win was built on sustained control, with Fulham recording roughly 76% possession, 18 shots, and completing 652 of 716 passes at 91.1% accuracy.
- Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis produced a string of saves that kept the score to a single goal and prevented a larger Fulham margin.
- Ryan Sessegnon was shown a straight red in stoppage time for a studs-down challenge, creating a likely suspension and immediate selection issues for Fulham's upcoming matches.
- The result lifts Fulham to five points and off the bottom of the table but leaves manager Alvaro Arbeloa's position dependent on results in the next fixtures, including games against Coventry and Crystal Palace.
