Two set pieces and little else. That left the duel between Newcastle and Fulham that ended with a distribution of points. The magpies could not get the victory against an opponent who played with one less footballer for almost half an hour, but who held out to score points at St. James' Park and get out of the relegation zone provisionally.
The first half was very even, with the two teams watching each other so as not to grant chances to the rival. Without creativity on the part of the footballers, Fulham took the lead on a strategic move that had a good bit of fortune.

Newcastle jumped into the second half determined to seek the goal of a Fulham who took a step back. The magpies managed to score thanks to a penalty on Wilson that the VAR confirmed. The forward himself threw the maximum penalty to establish the tie.
