Fulham and Newcastle Draw 1-1 at Craven Cottage
Newcastle went ahead through Jacob Murphy's goal, but Rodrigo Muniz struck three minutes later to rescue a point for Fulham. It was the first draw in 19 Premier League meetings between the two sides in London.
Fulham and Newcastle United drew 1-1 in their Premier League match at Craven Cottage. Rodrigo Muniz's goal for the home side prevented head coach Matthias Jaissle from securing a comfortable win.
Newcastle thought they had gone ahead in the first half when Dan Burn headed in from a corner. However, Yoane Wissa was awarded a penalty for pulling Timothy Castagne's shirt, and the celebrations were short-lived. Harvey Barnes also fired a shot straight at Bernd Leno after he was left alone on a pass from behind.
Fulham had plenty of possession but lacked end product in clear-cut chances. For the home side, Josh King's strike and the young player's header stood out. As the match was heading for a draw, Murphy went past Antonee Robinson after a poor pass from Cesar Palacios in midfield and beat Leno with a powerful shot.
Newcastle's lead lasted just three minutes. Palacios' pass deflected and fell in front of Muniz, who, with help from Burn, sent the ball into the net via Lukas Hornicek. It was Muniz's first Premier League goal in seven months.
