Outstanding performance
Fulham•MidfielderFulham secured a vital 2-1 victory over Brighton in a dramatic encounter that could prove crucial in their fight against relegation. After falling behind to Yasin Ayari's opener just before the half-hour mark, the Cottagers showed tremendous character to mount a second-half comeback. Marco Silva's tactical substitutions proved decisive, with Samuel Chukwueze equalizing 13 minutes after being introduced, before Harry Wilson completed the turnaround with a dramatic 90th-minute winner. This result will provide much-needed momentum for Fulham as they battle to climb away from the bottom three, while Brighton will rue missed opportunities to secure what looked like a comfortable away victory.
Fulham host Brighton in a crucial mid-table clash with both sides separated by just one point. Brighton arrive unbeaten in five matches while Fulham look to bounce back from a stoppage-time defeat to Leeds.
