Relieved Arbeloa Praises His Fulham Team After Deserved Win over Slumping Hull
Fulham defeated Hull 1-0 at Craven Cottage, giving manager Alvaro Arbeloa his first win and lifting the club out of the Premier League's bottom three.
Arbeloa faced mounting scrutiny after failing to win any of his first six league matches in charge, while manager Sergej Jakirovic expressed concern over Hull's passive approach.
Alex Iwobi struck in the 33rd minute after goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis allowed the shot to squirm through his body, though Gonzalo Garcia later headed against the crossbar from six yards.
Ryan Sessegnon received a late red card for his challenge on Robinio Vaz, yet the Cottagers held on to secure the victory despite the numerical disadvantage.
Despite the win, Fulham's concerns persist; the team previously dropped eight points from winning positions this season and remains in a perilous position if wastefulness continues.
