Fulham staged a late comeback to secure a 2-1 victory over Brighton at Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon.

Marco Silva made two changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Leeds last week, welcoming back Alex Iwobi from AFCON. Kalvin Bassey and Samuel Chukwueze were named among the substitutes.

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler also reshuffled his starting lineup, making three alterations from the 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. Carlos Baleba, Olivier Boscagli and Yasin Ayari came in for Brajan Gruda, Jack Hinshelwood and Joel Veltman.

Fulham began the match strongly, but it was Brighton who struck first, scoring with their first real chance just before half-time.

Ayari danced past two defenders before firing a powerful shot into the net, leaving Bernd Leno unable to keep it out despite getting a hand to the ball.

Silva responded in the second half by introducing Chukwueze to add more attacking threat, and the substitution paid off when the Nigerian forward levelled the score.

With the game heading into stoppage time, Harry Wilson produced a decisive finish in the 90th minute to complete Fulham’s turnaround and secure all three points.
