Newcastle dominated 10-man Fulham to claim an important win in the capital. United started brightly, winning a corner in the first minute, and could have taken the lead when Dan Burn saw an effort saved by Leno in the Fulham goal and Callum Wilson couldn't turn the rebound home.
However, the hosts were reduced to 10 men when Nathaniel Chalobah was sent off for a late challenge on Sean Longstaff following a VAR review. And United did wait long to press home their advantage, taking the lead soon after through the returning Wilson.
Newcastle were dominating the half, and should have made it 2-0 when Murphy played in Willock, whose cross was turned over the bar by Wilson. The second did come not much later, though, through Miguel Almiron.
