Newcastle vs Fulham final score, results (Premier League): Newcastle reclaim 3rd place

Newcastle vs Fulham Highlights

Signing a record, Aleksandar Mitrovic fluffed his lines for Fulham, and after he did, old friend Alexander Isak headed Newcastle back into the top three of the Premier League. A spirited 1-0 victory at St. James' Park was achieved by the £60 million striker's third goal for the team, but only after Mitrovic, a former fan favorite on Tyneside, had a successful penalty call reversed for double touching.

As a result of extending their unbeaten league streak to 14 games, Eddie Howe's team, which polarized opinion by starting Joelinton despite his midweek arrest for drink-driving, passed Manchester United back into third place on the leaderboard.

Newcastle vs Fulham Summary

Newcastle is determined to earn all three points at home in order to close the gap on the top three teams. The home squad generated a number of risky opportunities right away, but they were unable to convert them into goals.

Fulham steadily regained control of the match after the opening ten minutes and moved back towards Newcastle. Amazing tit-for-tat events occurred between the two squads in succession. However, the outcome was not possible.

At 0-0, the first half came to a close. Both Newcastle and Fulham attempted to create risky attempts on the opposing goal as the second half got underway. Newcastle's luck ran out in the 60th minute as Fabian Schar's kick struck the post once more when goalkeeper Leno stood motionless.

A contentious situation arose in the 66th minute when the visitors wanted a penalty because they believed Trippier had kicked De Cordova-Reid in the heel. The referee decided to award a penalty to Fulham after checking VAR. When Mitrovic missed the penalty, a rare event occurred: the ball touched two players, and Newcastle was given a free kick.

Newcastle threw all of their effort into the assault in the closing minutes of the game and pressed Fulham to exhaustion. Their efforts paid off in the 89th minute when Callum Wilson's cross was headed in by replacement Alexander Isak. That was also the game's lone goal.

Despite struggling to defeat Fulham, Newcastle took third place away from MU. They now tie the Red Devils for points, but their superior ranking is due to a greater goal differential. Fulham, meanwhile, has 31 points after 20 games and is still sixth.
