Fulham Dominateโค Wolves 3-0 in Contentious Match at Craven Cottage
LONDON – Fulham secured a commanding 3-0 โvictory over wolves at Craven โคcottage on Monday, a result heavily influenced by a 36th-minute โred card โขfor Wolves โdefender Alex Agbadou. โTeh dismissal, following a foulโ on a Fulham player while attempting to run through โon goal, left Wolves with ten men for the majority of the contest.
The match began with a swift Fulham lead, as โฃryan Sessegnon scored in the 9th minute. Despite a VAR check for a potential handball โby Kennyโ King during the build-up, the goal โคstood. Furtherโฃ VAR scrutiny before halftime regarding aโ possible handball โขand penalty for Wolves proved โunsuccessful.
Wolves struggled to create meaningful chances, with a late first-half prospect for Ki-Jana Hoever failing to materialize. Entering halftime โคtrailing 1-0, and facing a chorus of boos from the travelling support, Wolves manager Gary O’Neil responded with a triple substitution at the start of theโ second half, introducing J.Gomes, Jackson Tchatchoua, and โขmosquera in โa 5-3-1 formation.
Fulhamโข extended โฃtheirโฃ advantage โคin the 62nd minute through Callum Wilson, who curled โขaโข shot into the bottom corner, despite Alex Iwobi being down with a head injury moments before. Wilson came close to adding another shortly after, but Jose sa made a save.
The hosts’ third โฃgoal โarrived in โคtheโ 75th minute, an own goal credited to Mosquera following a โฃcontroversial โขpassage of play where Wolves appealed for a โfoul โon Hugo Bueno.โ Fulham’s Samuel Chukwueze then struck theโค post with a clear opportunity to make it โฃ4-0, and Sa subsequently denied another effort from the same player.
Following the โขfinal whistle, Wolves players, led by Joรฃo gomes, approached the away end to acknowledge the frustrated supporters, withโฃ manager Gary O’neil joining them as they faced vocal criticism.
