Fulham vs Newcastle United
Full-time at Craven Cottage, and that late strike from Guimaraes secures a snatch-and-grab victory for Newcastle United!! The Magpies may have had a strike from Schar chalked off just moments prior to the Brazilian's goal on 81 minutes, but Fulham will feel they did more than enough to get something out of this game. Their mountain of chances from the first half was followed up by Pereira forcing a save from Dubravka and Jimenez and Broja both being denied from close range late on, but the hosts couldn't find a way past Newcastle, who looked to have been denied an earlier opener by VAR. Gordon had seen an early effort kept out by Leno and crossed towards Burn at the far post, with his challenge on Bassey ruled to be a foul as Schar lashed the ball home. However, Guimaraes would right Newcastle's wrongs just six minutes later, firing a follow-up shot into the bottom corner after Barnes' cross was scythed clear. A second win in three games allows the Magpies to keep pace in the fight for European football, while back-to-bacl defeats for Fulham sees them drop further down the table to 14th place.

SAVED!!! Guimaraes drives into the final third before finding Isak to his right, and the striker cuts inside one defender before shooting goalwards! Leno makes a vital parry into the path of Anderson, but he can only blaze the rebound wide from close range!!

An unconvincing Dubravka punch from the corner frees up space for Wilson to cross straight back into the area, but the Welshman overcooks his attempt and it sails high and wide to Newcastle's relief!

CHANCE!!! What a defensive intervention that was!! A long ball forward from the back sends Broja racing in behind the Magpies' defence, but Burn keeps pace with the substitute to dispossess him and put the ball behind for another late corner!

BLOCKED!!! Fulham exert further late pressure as Krafth concedes a corner down the left-hand side. Wilson's delivery into the middle is headed goalwards before being spilled by Dubravka, and Ritchie gets in the way of Jimenez's shot on the follow-up!!
Fulham vs Newcastle United
Wilson's given time and space to cross and duly fires the ball into the box despite a lack of runners. Dubravka is drawn out by the cross, but it's Hall who steps in to head behind, landing awkwardly and picking up an injury which could see his game end early!

Robinson whips another left-sided cross into the Newcastle box late on, but it's deflected and Schar heads behind for a Fulham corner.

We've got an extra NINE minutes to play at Craven Cottage - will that be enough to Fulham to rescue at least a point in this game?
