Pressure on Arbeloa lifted after Alex Iwobi sinks Hull for Fulham’s first win
After such a dominant performance against a team so blunt going forward, it almost felt inevitable that Álvaro Arbeloa was going to be denied his first Premier League win as Fulham head coach in similar fashion as the weeks and games before. After all their chances and possession, Craven Cottage should not have been a place of nerves when Mohamed Belloumi lined up a free-kick as three minutes of stoppage time were shown.
TL;DR
- Fulham achieved their first Premier League win of the season against Hull.
- Alex Iwobi scored the only goal of the match in the first half.
- New head coach Álvaro Arbeloa implemented a more expansive style of play.
- Fulham created numerous chances, particularly from wingers Iwobi and Oscar Bobb.
- Despite a dominant display, Fulham had to hold on after Ryan Sessegnon received a late red card.
- Hull's Mohamed Belloumi missed a late free-kick opportunity to equalize.
