New defence, same result. A smart finish from Pedro Neto secured a narrow victory for Wolves as Scott Parker’s side suffered a fourth successive defeat since returning to the
Premier League.
But while the Fulham manager will be desperate to add reinforcements on transfer deadline day, with a £16m move for Barcelona’s Jean-Clair Todibo looking set to be completed, there was some encouragement that his side can bridge the gap this time round. Having made three changes to his back four after stinging criticism on
Social Media from Tony Khan, Fulham’s director of
Football operations, following the defeat to Aston Villa last week, at least this time Parker’s side stayed in the contest until the final whistle thanks largely to a strong performance from the goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.
