Fulham vs Newcastle United
Newcastle end their six-game unbeaten run and move above Fulham into seventh, level on points with today's opponents. Next up for them is Brentford at home. Fulham suffer their first home defeat of the season, and Silva will be hoping they can bounce back against West Ham next weekend.
Fulham vs Newcastle United
Newcastle get back to winning ways with a 4-1 victory against 10-man Fulham. The hosts were a man down just eight minutes in after VAR upgraded Chalobah's card to a straight red for a late challenge on Longstaff. They then found themselves 3-0 down by half-time; Wilson tapped in from close range, Almiron scored a wonderful volley and Longstaff fired in the third. Almiron added the fourth and thought he had a hat-trick before he was denied by the flag. De Cordova-Reid nodded in a late consolation before Fraser also had a goal ruled out for offside in stoppage time.
