CARDIFF CLICK AND EARN FIRST WIN AS FULHAM FALTER FROM THE FRONT

-

HAVING fallen behind on 11 minutes, the writing appeared to be on the wall for Cardiff. Eight matches had come and gone and they were still winless in the Premier League.

And after Andre Schurrle’s stunning strike set Fulham on their way, many home fans probably expected another loss.

But quickfire goals from Josh Murphy and then Bobby Reid within nine minutes would turn the game on its head.

Ryan Sessegnon restored parity before half-time but Callum Paterson and Kadeem Harris both struck after the break to seal a 4-2 victory.

Of their long wait for a top-flight win, Cardiff manager Neil Warnock said: ‘It’s just a great feeling for everyone at the club. I can enjoy my weekend now.’

Erik Lamela scored the only goal of the game as Tottenham won 1-0 at West Ham.

Wolves’ six-match unbeaten run came to an end after losing 2-0 at home to Watford.

Two goals in 58 firsthalf seconds from Etienne Capoue and Roberto Pereyra sealed victory for the Hornets.

Newcastle slipped to bottom of the table as Beram Kayal’s strike saw Brighton take all three points after a 1-0 win at St James’ Park.

Bournemout­h and Southampto­n could not be separated in the battle of the south-coast clubs — drawing 0-0.
