MADRID, 24 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers signed a draw (1-1) this Friday at Craven Cottage after an even clash that was settled by the Spanish attacker Pablo Sarabia in the first half, but which was equalized by the Israeli Manor Solomon after the hour of play, in the opening match of matchday 25 of the Premier League.
The team led by Julen Lopetegui came out more plugged into the field of play with the idea of proposing an offensive football that did not take long to bear fruit. Thus, the Spanish international, who first threatened Leno with a powerful shot from the front, found the prize of the goal after 25′ after picking up an extension with the head of Raúl Jiménez at the far post.
Sarabia, a winter signing, opened his scoring account with the Wolves shirt with a superb performance that was frustrated in the second half. First, Mateus Cunha had to retire injured on a stretcher after a hard challenge and shortly after Manor Salomon, who had been brought on by Marco Silva at half-time, received on the wing and, with a masterful ball shot, beat José Sá.
Although the ‘Cottagers’ were able to sign the comeback with a header from Carlos Vinícius in minute 94′, the good work of the Portuguese goalkeeper and the defensive solidity of the visitors ended up decanting a clash that leaves Fulham at the gates of the European places and allows Wolves to momentarily move away from the relegation places.
