Fulham’s dramatic resurgence has lit up Craven Cottage and sent ripples through the Premier League
. After a sluggish start that saw the Cottagers languish in the relegation zone, Marco Silva’s side roared back to life with a breathtaking 3-1 victory over a formidable Newcastle United. Alexander Mitrovic’s brace, including a clinical penalty, and Harry Wilson’s stunning strike from distance illustrated a team rediscovering its attacking flair.
Defensively, Fulham have tightened up dramatically. Tim Ream marshaled the backline with leadership and composure, while newcomer Issa Diop has slotted in seamlessly, cutting out crosses and winning aerial duels with renewed authority. Marcus Bettinelli, returning from injury, made two crucial saves to deny the Magpies and preserve Fulham’s momentum.
Silva’s tactical switch to a 4-2-3-1 formation has unlocked creative partnerships in midfield. João Palhinha and Andreas Pereira provide a robust shield for the back four, while Willian’s vision and Fabio Carvalho’s trickery have injected guile into the final third. The result propelled Fulham up to 12th in the table—just three points shy of the European places—and ignited hopes of a late push for continental football.
Supporters have flooded social media with clips of Mitrovic’s goals and chants echoing along the Thames. Fulham are back in the game now—hungry, confident, and ready to seize every opportunity that lies ahead.
