Fulham Cruise to Comfortable Win Over Newcastle United

Fulham delivered a dominant display at Craven Cottage on May 24, 2026, defeating Newcastle United 2-0 in a match that underlined their strong finish to the Premier League season. The Cottagers controlled the game from start to finish, with goals in each half securing a well-deserved victory.

First-Half Breakthrough

Fulham opened the scoring in the 34th minute through a stunning strike from Andreas Pereira. The Brazilian midfielder collected a pass on the edge of the box and unleashed a dipping shot that sailed past Nick Pope. The goal was a reward for Fulham’s early pressure, as they pinned Newcastle back and created several half-chances.

Second-Half Sealer

The home side doubled their lead in the 67th minute when Rodrigo Muniz latched onto a through ball from Alex Iwobi and calmly slotted home. Newcastle, who had won four of their previous five matches, struggled to find any rhythm. Despite introducing Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon, Eddie Howe’s team failed to test Bernd Leno seriously. The result kept Fulham in the top half of the table and damaged Newcastle’s hopes of securing European football.

Man of the match: Andreas Pereira – one goal, one assist, and tireless midfield work.
