Fulham’s Pursuit of Three Consecutive Wins Ends in 1-4 Loss to Wolves

Fulham aimed to secure three consecutive top-flight victories, a feat they had not achieved since January, but were unable to capitalize on their promising start at Craven Cottage. Despite being the dominant side in the first half, they were undone by a moment of skill from Matheus Cunha, who advanced unchallenged into the Fulham penalty area to control Mario Lemina’s pass and level the score. Raul Jimenez’s first-half miss ultimately proved costly, as the Mexican striker inexplicably failed to beat goalkeeper Jose Sa when the score was still goalless. Manager Marco Silva made five substitutions within a 12-minute period during the second half as his team sought to chase the game. This tactical move became regrettable when Joachim Andersen was forced off due to an injury with the score at 2-1, leaving the home side to play the remainder of the match with 10 men. With challenging fixtures against Tottenham, Brighton, Arsenal, and Liverpool scheduled for the first half of December, Fulham supporters may understandably view Saturday’s defeat as a missed opportunity.
