Coventry City 0-1 Fulham: Oscar Bobb scores late winner in Premier League

Oscar Bobb’s late goal made it back-to-back Premier League wins for Fulham as they claimed victory at Coventry City.

In a game which otherwise lacked quality, Bobb weaved past a defender in a crowded penalty area before whipping an excellent strike into the bottom corner to score the game’s only goal.

In the first half, it was Fulham’s Josh King who came closest to delivering an opener when he sent an effort crashing off the crossbar. The rebound then fell to Alex Iwobi but he was unable to convert from close range.

For Coventry, the bulk of their most threatening moments came when Brandon Thomas-Asante led counter-attacks, but they were unable to find an end product.

Fulham had claims for a penalty rejected shortly before the break as Calvin Bassey was judged to have tugged his opponent’s shirt before being dragged down by Thomas-Asante in the box.

Coventry were dealt a blow when defender Bobby Thomas, a shining light this season in a backline which has come up against difficult tests, was forced off with an injury in the 60th minute.

They continued to absorb pressure and search for chances on the break, but were unable find a way to open the scoring despite making some dangerous, quick moves.

A first away league win in nine matches moves Fulham up to 12th in the table on eight points, two above Coventry. The Sky Blues are 19th.
