February 26, (THEWILL) – Fulham recorded a 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Sunday, with Rodrigo Muniz scoring the decisive goal through an exquisite chip. The victory propelled Marco Silva’s men to ninth position in the English Premier League table, moving ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference.
Ryan Sessegnon put the visitors ahead within sixty seconds of kickoff, confidently finishing after receiving a through ball from Andreas Pereira. Wolves demonstrated good character following this early setback and equalised during the first half when Joao Gomes found the net after Fulham failed to clear a dangerous cross delivered by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Bernd Leno produced an outstanding save before half-time, tipping Matheus Cunha’s powerful shot over the crossbar. Fulham began the second period with similar intensity to the first, regaining their advantage when Muniz executed a perfectly weighted chip following an exceptional pass from former Wolves player Adama Traore.
Gary O’Neil’s Wolves team struggled to create meaningful opportunities as the match progressed, with their attacking threat diminishing in the latter stages. The result means Wolves remain in 17th position, five points above Ipswich Town in the relegation zone, continuing their challenging campaign in the 2024/2025 season.
The London club’s tactical approach paid dividends throughout the contest, with their fast starts in both halves proving crucial to finishing with all three points. Fulham’s disciplined defensive organisation after taking the lead restricted Wolves to minimal clear-cut chances, allowing the visitors to maintain their advantage until the final whistle.
