Fulham finally brought an end to a painful six-match winless run in all competitions on October 17, 2026, as Alex Iwobi settled this Premier League matchday 7 encounter. Iwobi struck in the 33rd minute, turning in an assist from Sander Berge to break the deadlock at Craven Cottage. The hosts commanded 76 percent of the possession and restricted their visitors to zero shots on target from five total attempts, while racking up 18 shots and an expected goals figure of 1.48. Despite a late red card shown to Ryan Sessegnon in the 94th minute, the breakthrough proved enough to reward Iwobi with a standout 8.2 match rating, alongside Berge's 7.7.
The victory lifted Fulham off the foot of the table from 20th to 15th position after a difficult start that included a 2-1 defeat away at Ipswich Town on their previous league outing. Hull City arrived at Craven Cottage looking to extend a run that had yielded just one loss in their opening six league fixtures, having recently drawn 2-2 at home to Everton. However, the visitors failed to test the home goalkeeper all afternoon and slipped from 8th down to 9th place following the final whistle.
Following this result, Fulham sit 16 points behind league leaders Manchester City, while Hull City trail the summit by 12 points. Fulham will now turn their attention to an away fixture against Coventry City on October 24.
