Newcastle United and Fulham played out a 1-1 draw in their Matchweek 10 Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage on Saturday after both sides scored late goals in an entertaining second-half contest.
The Magpies appeared destined for a crucial away victory after Jacob Murphy broke the deadlock in the 80th minute, giving Newcastle the lead with just ten minutes of regulation time remaining.
However, Fulham responded almost immediately, with substitute Rodrigo Muniz finding the back of the net in the 83rd minute to restore parity and rescue a point for the hosts.
Newcastle had looked to end their difficult run of results, having suffered successive defeats against Everton in the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
The visitors pushed for a breakthrough throughout the encounter, while Fulham also created opportunities as they sought to extend their improving run of form.
The Cottagers eventually got their reward through Muniz’s late intervention, denying Newcastle maximum points in front of their home supporters.
The result sees both sides settle for a share of the spoils, with Newcastle missing an opportunity to return to winning ways while Fulham continue their efforts to climb the Premier League standings.
