Iwobi’s goal earns Fulham 1‑0 win as Sessegnon sees red

Alex Iwobi’s 33rd-minute goal gave Fulham a 1-0 victory over Hull, with Ryan Sessegnon sent off in the closing minute. The result lifts Fulham to 15th after seven games, while Hull stay eighth.

Iwobi scored the only goal of the match, finishing a move assisted by Sander Berge. Fulham went into half-time with the same 1-0 lead and held on to secure all three points.

The win leaves Fulham with five points from seven matches. Their recent sequence is WLDDL, with Saturday’s result at the front. The victory is a positive change in that run, though Fulham remain 15th in the table.

Sessegnon’s dismissal came in the 90th minute, just as Fulham were seeing out the win. His red card added a late complication to a match decided by Iwobi’s finish, but Fulham kept their lead to the final whistle.

Hull leave with no points and remain eighth on nine from seven games. Their recent form is LDLDD, also listed with the latest result first. The gap between the sides in the table remains four places, with Hull holding four more points after the same number of matches.

Fulham’s next fixture is away to Coventry City on Saturday 24 October at 15:00 BST. Hull return home the following day to face Brentford, with kick-off scheduled for Sunday 25 October at 14:00 GMT. Fulham will take the three points into that trip after a narrow win; Hull will look to respond at home.
