Newcastle United stumbled at home to Fulham to lose their second consecutive match at St James’ Park. The Magpies grabbed the lead eight minutes before the break after Anthony Gordon’s run down the left with the Scouser’s cross – intended for Alexander Isak – deflecting into the path of Jacob Murphy who made no mistake from 10 yards out.
Fulham equalised just after the hour mark after a mix-up between Murphy and Sandro Tonali. The Italian’s pass did reach its intended recipient with Raul Jimenez steaming in to pinch the ball.
Jimenez then progressed up the field with the ball and played in Adam Traore before Antonee Robinson clipped the ball to the ex-Wolves man who fired home the equaliser.
The Magpies then slipped behind with eight minutes to go. Fulham sub Andreas Pereira was fouled by Gordon and the visitors were handed a free-kick deep on the left.
Pereira curled the ball towards goal with Rodrigo Muniz getting the slightest of touches to beat Martin Dubravka from close range.
