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

OFF THE BAR!!! SO CLOSE FOR GORDON!!! Newcastle are inches away from taking the lead as a deep cross finds its way to Gordon at the back post. He brings the ball down before lashing goalwards, but the winger's powerful effort comes off the underside of the bar, with Fulham eventually able to scramble clear.

Fulham are winless in seven Premier League away games against Newcastle (three draws, four defeats) since a 1-0 win in May 2009 under Roy Hodgson. Down to 10 men, that winless streak looks unlikely to end here.

As you would expect, Fulham are now looking to get bodies behind the ball and make themselves hard to break down. Their striker's daft challenge has really left them in the lurch here, and there may be some uncomfortable conversations in the dressing room after the game should the Cottagers go on to lose this match.

Newcastle will really fancy their chances now of coming away with three points. They have been the better side so far, and their numerical advantage can surely only help matters.

Jimenez receives the first booking of the game after a bizarre challenge on Longstaff. The ball was long gone by the time Jimenez clattered into Longstaff, with the striker's hip hitting the Newcastle man in the face. There will be a VAR check, however, to see whether Jimenez's challenge is worthy of a red card instead...

Yellow Card Raúl Alonso Jiménez Rodríguez

Jimenez momentarily requires some treatment after being caught with a stray arm by Lascelles as the two battled for possession. The striker is okay to continue, however, which will be a big boost for Silva.

Guimaraes spurns a decent opportunity as Gordon cuts the ball back to him on the edge of the box. The midfielder opts to shoot first time, but his effort flies high and wide of the target.

Newcastle are unbeaten in their last six Premier League meetings with Fulham (four wins, two draws), winning the last three in a row.
