Fulham Football Club secured a much-needed victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League, bringing an end to their three-match winless run on Saturday.
The match, which took place at Craven Cottage, was a memorable one for Rodrigo Muniz, who scored twice to help Fulham seal a 3-1 win over their opponents.
The victory, which was Fulham’s first in the league in 2024, saw them climb up to 12th place in the league table, swapping places with Bournemouth.
The match got off to a flying start for the hosts, with Bobby De Cordova-Reid scoring the opening goal just five minutes into the game.
De Cordova-Reid’s header then set up Muniz to double Fulham’s advantage in the 36th minute.
Although Fulham had stalled somewhat since back-to-back 5-0 wins late last year, they produced a strong performance against a Bournemouth side that has struggled in recent weeks, remaining without a win in their last five games.
While Muniz was the star of the show, scoring two crucial goals that secured Fulham’s victory, Willian’s contribution to the match was equally important.
The Brazilian was tireless in his efforts, and his quality shone through in the match.
It was Willian’s cross that De Cordova-Reid headed back to Muniz to put Fulham in charge of the game.
Willian also forced a great save by Neto in the second half, and it was his delivery that enabled Muniz to score his second goal and make the game safe.
Overall, it was a well-deserved victory for Fulham, who will look to build on their performance and move up the league table in the coming weeks.
