Newcastle vs Fulham LIVE: Premier League result as hosts win against 10-man Cottagers

BIG SAVE! Leno makes a vital stop to keep the scoreline 0-0. Wilson brings a cross down before laying the ball back for Gordon, though the winger's curling first-time effort is parried by Leno.

Guimaraes stings the palms of Leno with a powerful long-range effort, though the Fulham goalkeeper is able to gather at the second attempt.

Howe will want to get Wilson more involved in the second half. The striker attempted just three passes in the opening 45 minutes, failing to complete one.

A bright start to the second half sees Miley win a corner. The opportunity is wasted, however, as Almiron's delivery flies over the head of all of his team-mates and bounces out for a goal-kick.

The hosts get the ball rolling again for the second half. Can they take advantage of their numerical advantage and find a winner?

With their opposition down to 10, this will feel a huge missed opportunity for Newcastle should they not go on and win this game. They created 0.96 xG (expected goals) to Fulham's 0.18 in that first half, but Howe will be demanding more from his side in the second 45 minutes to ensure they kick on and secure three points.

The half-time whistle blows as Newcastle and 10-man Fulham head back to the changing rooms with the scoreline 0-0 at St James' Park. The hosts started the brighter and were handed a huge boost with 22 minutes gone as the in-form Jimenez saw red after a bizarre and dangerous challenge on Longstaff. However, Fulham's resistance was stubborn, though Gordon was inches away from putting Newcastle in front when he thumped off the bar. Silva's men would survive, though, as the sides head to the break goalless.

HALF-TIME: NEWCASTLE 0-0 FULHAM

Now it's Wilson who looks to have a bit of a problem, momentarily dropping to his haunches. Fulham need the interval here.

Pereira briefly goes down in the Fulham box after a clash with Gordon, though the former Manchester United man is okay to continue. That was a welcome pause for the visitors, who will be desperate to get to the break with their clean sheet intact.
