Thanks for joining Tribe for this coverage. Until next time, take care.
In the second half, Faes nearly compounded his earlier mistake by conceding a chance to Muniz, who unfortunately shot over the bar. Fulham’s persistence paid off when Alex Iwobi scored the decisive goal, receiving a pass from Antonee Robinson and slipping a shot past Hermansen. The hosts held firm to secure their first home league win since March, ensuring they took all three points.
After a narrow disappointment in their opening game at Old Trafford, Fulham’s fans were quickly rewarded when Emile Smith Rowe, one of their summer signings, scored in their home campaign opener just 18 minutes in. Rowe, making a memorable impact following his move from Arsenal, connected with a precise pass from Adama Traore, drove into the box, and fired a left-foot shot past Mads Hermansen. Although Fulham had the upper hand for much of the first half, Leicester managed to level the score with a crucial header from Wout Faes late in the half. Initially ruled out for offside against Jamie Vardy, the goal was later confirmed by the referee after a VAR review overturned the decision.

Vestergaard receives a late booking after sliding in on Lukic in frustration, as Fulham continue to maintain possession of the ball. That should be that.

CHANCE! The free kick delivers a floated cross into the box, but Leno mishandles his punch, letting the ball fall to Ndidi. Ndidi's shot is weak, and Leno is able to recover, holding onto the ball to waste valuable time.

Justin makes a penetrating run into the midfield area with the ball, aiming to set up a late opportunity for Leicester. Cairney brings him down to halt his progress, resulting in a yellow card for the Fulham midfielder.
