Fulham beaten by league leaders Wolves
Wolves 2 Fulham 0
Fulham suffered their third defeat in four matches as they were beaten by the Championship leaders at Molineux.
Both goals came from Barry Douglas set-pieces, with Romain Saiss nodding in a corner after only nine minutes.
And a second Douglas delivery, this time from a free-kick, created the second as Leo Bonatini glanced the ball home.
Fulham, who were without captain Tom Cairney, created few opportunities and have now taken just two points from their last five games, their worst run of form since March 2016.
Given their recent results, a trip to pacesetters Wolves was tricky enough – but to concede two goals in the first 26 minutes gave them a mountain to climb.
Stefan Johansen tested Wolves keeper John Ruddy from distance late in the first half, while after the break Floyd Ayite shot wide.
But Wolves were often in the ascendancy. Ruben Neves shot from inside his own half in an audacious attempt to catch out Fulham keeper David Button, who later made an excellent save to deny Bonatini a second.
Fulham: Button; Fredericks, Odoi, Ream, Sessegnon; Johansen, McDonald, Norwood; Ayite (Soares 62), Kebano (Mollo 53), Fonte (Kamara 70).
Subs not used: Bettinelli, Kalas, Edun, Cisse.
