Oscar Bobb's late goal gives Fulham a 1-0 win over Coventry
Fulham won 1-0 away at Coventry thanks to Oscar Bobb's 80th-minute goal, their second straight victory. The result lifted the club out of the relegation zone to 12th place.

Fulham beat Coventry City 1-0 in a Premier League match played at Coventry's ground. The home side put up a competitive display against their opponents. Most of the match passed without a goal, but in the 80th minute Norwegian playmaker Oscar Bobb dribbled past his marker inside the penalty area and placed the ball into the far corner, scoring the only goal of the game.
The visitors were more dangerous in the first half. Josh King's shot came back off the crossbar, and Fulham missed a chance to take the lead. Also, toward the end of the first half, Brandon Thomas-Asante's shirt pull on Calvin Bassey was not given as a penalty. VAR reviewed the incident at length and did not award a spot kick. Former referee Mike Dean said on Sky Sports that the defender had first pushed his opponent and that Bassey had started the foul.
Coventry also had a controversial moment. In the closing stages, Jack Rudoni's cross struck Shea Charles's arm, but after a VAR review no penalty was awarded.
With this win, Fulham earned their second consecutive victory following their win over Hull City. The club rose to 12th place and moved away from the relegation zone. Coventry remain in 19th place, with their results over the last eight matches.
