EPL: Visitor Fulham Strike Late to Edge Lampard's Coventry 1-0
Oscar Bobb's late goal secured Fulham's second consecutive victory against relegation rivals Coventry in a low-scoring match.
- Oscar Bobb scored his first Premier League goal for Fulham in the 80th minute, securing a 1-0 victory over Coventry that lifted the Cottagers clear of the relegation zone.
- Following a recent 1-0 victory against Hull, manager Alvaro Arbeloa saw mounting pressure ease on Fulham. Both sides entered the match struggling in the bottom three, with quality in short supply throughout.
- Josh King hit the post for Coventry in the 18th minute, with Alex Iwobi sending the rebound high and wide. Bobb twisted into the box and bent a shot into the far corner with 10 minutes remaining.
- Coventry suffered a major blow when defender Bobby Thomas hobbled off before the hour, replaced by teenage Manchester City loanee Stephen Mfuni. Manager Frank Lampard's side remains second-bottom of the table.
- The defeat brought the CBS Arena back down to earth after Coventry's 4-1 win over Newcastle. Despite late pressure including a strike from Matt Grimes, the hosts failed to trouble Bernd Leno.
