In a match that showcased strategic efficiency, Fulham secured a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at Craven Cottage. Fulham's early goal at the sixth minute set the tone, demonstrating their intense attacking prowess. As the first half-wore on, Fulham’s second goal highlighted Newcastle's defensive vulnerabilities, despite the visitors attempting to regroup. Fulham’s offensive strategy, bolstered by their decisive finishing, was crucial in establishing a commanding first-half lead.

Despite Newcastle’s spirited response after halftime, indicated by their goal just minutes into the second half, their inability to convert attacking momentum into more goals was telling. While they were better in terms of possession and creating chances, Newcastle's lack of precision in front of the goal was exposed, as they failed to achieve any corner kicks throughout the match, limiting their set-piece opportunities. Conversely, Fulham maximized their advantage from set plays, as evidenced by their six corner kicks, creating consistent pressure on Newcastle's defense.

Fulham's tenacity came at a cost, evidenced by their six yellow cards compared to Newcastle's clean disciplinary record. The high foul count could have disrupted their rhythm, yet Fulham's disciplined defensive organization ensured Newcastle’s attacks remained largely ineffective. Fulham's tactical substitutions towards the match's close helped maintain their composure and defensive integrity, culminating in their third goal and securing their triumphant outcome. The team’s collective effort and strategic execution overshadowed the individual brilliance that Newcastle attempted to harness but failed to effectively implement.
