Fulham Takes On Newcastle United
Fulham has clearly earned their 2-0 advantage at halftime. There was a tense moment in the fourth minute when Joelinton believed he had scored for the visitors, but his brilliant shot past Leno was disallowed because Willock, who assisted Joelinton, was ruled offside during the play. Just a minute later, Fulham found the back of the net to take a 1-0 lead. Jimenez controlled a cross from Traore with his chest, turned, and finished with a low shot into the corner—an excellent strike. The pressure mounted continuously from the London team, with Smith Rowe hitting the crossbar in the eighth minute and Pope making a save against Jimenez in the 14th minute. Fulham was eager for a second goal, and they got it in the 22nd minute when Smith Rowe took a shot from just outside the box, catching Pope off guard and deflecting it into the bottom corner. Although Fulham held only 40.4% possession, they were in control in every other aspect of the game. They fired off 13 shots, with seven on target, leading to an expected goals (xG) value of 1.29, while Newcastle managed an xG of just 0.1 from one on-target shot out of their four attempts.
