Nigerian Duo, Ademola Lookman, and Ola Aina were on hand in their home clash against Brighton coming from the back of an entertaining 1-1 draw against Champions, Liverpool as they settle for another 1 point, two points in 2 games.
This lifts them off the relegation zone as Scott Parker looks to put the cottage up for survival following their promotion.
After 45 dreary minutes, Brighton raced through the gears – in no time they hit the bar, the back of the net and the palms of Alphonse Areola.
Somehow, Fulham held on. They needed a helping hand – VAR ruled out Adam Lallana’s strike, the woodwork denied Adam Webster’s header.
Then, having stemmed the tide, Fulham threatened to nick it.
Webster’s slip sent Ruben Loftus-Cheek through but Robert Sanchez, surprisingly preferred in goal to Mat Ryan, stood tall to save – and keep out Ademola Lookman’s late strike.
Defeat would have been harsh on Brighton and, in this helter-skelter schedule, it’s a point both will probably take.
Fulham will now travel to Newcastle after the magpies suffered a horrible 5-2 loss to Leeds United.
