Rodrigo Muniz Wins It For Fulham With Delicate Chip To Beat Wolves In Premier League

Watch Wolves Vs Fulham highlights as Rodrigo Muniz’s second-half strike sealed victory for Fulham in the Premier League.

Muniz scored a deftly-taken chip to secure the win at Molineux after Joao Gomes had cancelled out Ryan Sessegnon’s first-minute opener.

Fulham made up for their woeful display in Saturday’s loss to Crystal Palace with a superb start in the West Midlands.

Sessegnon’s low strike across Jose Sa went in after just 59 seconds after being played through perfectly by Andreas Pereira.

The lead was short-lived, however, with Joao Gomes smashing home the equaliser from close range in the 18th minute.

Fulham then started the second half just how they began the first, scoring after one minute to retake the lead.

An excellent through-ball from Adama Traore put Muniz in goal, with the Brazilian’s dinked first-time effort beating the onrushing Sa from outside the box.

Former Wolves man Raul Jimenez almost added a third, but the Mexican was denied by Sa.

Victory sees Fulham up to ninth in the table and still in the hunt for European football. With 42 points, they are four below rivals Chelsea in fourth place, in a very tight top-half battle.

Wolves are still five points clear of the bottom three, and should have enough to avoid the drop. Ipswich and Leicester could reduce that safety net to three points if either win their game in hand, though.
