Wolves 1-2 Fulham: Muniz seals first Premier League victory at Molineux

Rodrigo Muniz’s delightful chip handed Fulham a 2-1 victory over Wolves at Molineux.

The visitors took the lead just inside the first minute as Ryan Sessegnon confidently slotted home after being put through by Andreas Pereria.

Wolves responded well to going behind so early and hit back in the first half through Joao Gomes after Fulham failed to clear their lines from a threatening Jean-Ricner Bellegarde cross.

Matheus Cunha saw a stinging shot acrobatically tipped over by Bernd Leno in the first half, but Fulham’s similarly fast start in the second half did the damage.

Fulham went ahead again through Muniz’s wonderfully clipped finish after he was put through by a sublime pass from Adama Traore, with his goal proving to be the winner as Wolves struggled to create opportunities as the half wore on.

Wolves remain 17th in the table, five points clear of Ipswich Town, while Fulham move up to ninth, ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference.

Data Debrief: Fulham thriving on the road

This win at Molineux was Fulham’s third successive away win, their best run of form on the road since April and May 2008 during their miraculous escape from relegation under Roy Hodgson (also three wins).

This was also Fulham’s first league win at Molineux in the Premier League era and their first overall since April 1985 – ending a 15-game streak without a victory.

It was all down to their fast start. Sessegnon’s opener after 58 seconds was the earliest goal that Wolves have conceded in the Premier League since Jack Grealish netted against them for Manchester City in September 2022 (55 seconds).

Despite Wolves’ struggles, Gomes proved to be a threat, especially in the first half, and he has now been directly involved in four Premier League goals for Wolves this term, with three goals and one assist.
