Solid Fulham Blank Hull in 1-0 Win

AllScores

Fulham edged Hull City 1-0 in a Premier League Round 7 encounter at Craven Cottage on 17 October 2026, with Alex Iwobi's first-half strike proving decisive in a tightly contested afternoon in London. Played under partly cloudy skies at 13 degrees with Chris Kavanagh officiating, the match was a test of patience for the hosts, who faced a disciplined five-man Hull back line. Fulham's persistence paid off through Iwobi's 33rd-minute finish, assisted by Sander Berge, and the home side managed the game well thereafter, though a late red card for Ryan Sessegnon meant they had to see out the closing stages with ten men. Iwobi was named Player of the Match for his performance, while Hull's committed defensive display kept the scoreline narrow despite the result.
