Fulham scored at the start of both halves to earn a 2-1 win over Wolves at Molineux and get their push for Europe back on track.
Ryan Sessegnon was making his first Premier League start for Fulham since his return to his boyhood club in the summer and his first start in the competition for over two years. It took him 58 seconds to put the away side in front following a sweeping move.
Wolves, coming into the game having won three of their previous four in all competitions, responded well and had their equaliser before too long when Joao Gomes hammered the bouncing ball high into the Fulham net beyond Bernd Leno.
But Fulham caught the hosts cold again 64 seconds into the second half – the impressive Rodrigo Muniz latching onto Adama Traore’s ball to finish deftly beyond Jose Sa. Wolves toiled in search of a second equaliser but could not build any momentum.
The victory keeps Marco Silva’s side right in the hunt for Champions League qualification, moving Fulham within two points of Manchester City. Wolves miss the chance to move further away from the relegation zone and stay just five points clear.
