Injury-time goal denies Fulham victory

Sheff Wed 1 Fulham 1

Fulham were forced to settle for third consecutive draw as Atdhe Nuhiu’s injury-time goal earned Sheffield Wednesday a point.

Fulham once again dominated possession and looked set for a fourth Championship win of the season thanks to Tom Cairney’s close-range finish just before the break.

But the Owls had the better chances throughout and deserved the equaliser, which finally came three minutes into added time when substitute Nuhiu turned in a Kadeem Harris cross.

Aleksandar Mitrovic headed an early chance wide for Fulham, but the hosts then started to look more dangerous.

Steven Fletcher shot wide and Cottagers keeper Marcus Bettinelli had to make smart saves to deny Adam Reach, Fletcher and Kieran Lee.

Cairney’s simple low shot then put Fulham ahead and that seemed set to be good enough for victory as the home side’s chances began to dry up.

However, Nuhiu intervened in the third minute of six minutes of injury-time.
