Late goal ends winless run

Oscar Bobb scored his second goal for the club since joining from Manchester City in January. His strike in the 80th minute provided Fulham with their first away victory in nine attempts. The result moved Alvaro Arbeloa's side clear of the relegation zone after a frustrating afternoon for Coventry.

Missed penalty and post hit

Josh King struck the post earlier in the match while Calvin Bassey was denied a penalty by VAR. The decision came after Brandon Thomas-Asante pulled the shirt of the Fulham defender before half time. Coventry managed only brief spells of possession but could not trouble Bernd Leno during the game.

Manager comments on team effort

Alvaro Arbeloa stated that his players are improving as a team and competing for the full ninety minutes. He noted that understanding the game requires defending the box or controlling play depending on the situation. The hosts left the match second-bottom of the table despite their efforts to trouble the visitors.
