Willian's stoppage-time penalty ends Fulham's winless run

Willian’s stoppage-time penalty ended Fulham’s winless run, as they beat Wolves 3-2. It was an even first half, which ended with the teams level at 1-1.

Jerrymusa.com reports that Iwobi put the Cottagers ahead after just seven minutes before Cunha equalised with a thumping header 15 minutes later.

Hwang also rattled the crossbar between those two goals.The story of the second half revolves around penalties.

Cairney won the first when he was tripped by Semedo, and Willian stepped up to wrongfoot the keeper and fire Fulham back into the lead. 

At the other end, Hwang was clumsily bundled over by Ream in the box and fired his own spot-kick down the middle.

Then, in stoppage time, Fulham won another as Joao Gomes desperately tripped Wilson, and Willian was on target once more as he squeezed it past Sa from 12 yards.

That’s Fulham’s first win in four, and it moves them up to 14th. Next up for them is a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

The Wolves suffer their second consecutive away defeat as they stay in 12th. They travel to Arsenal at the weekend.
