Wolftastic Victory: Fulham 1-4 Wolves

It might have been cold and wet at Craven Cottage, but Wolves fans will head home buzzing after a commanding 4-1 win over Fulham. The team delivered a stunning performance, ending a nine-month streak without an away win and reminding everyone why they’re a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League. Here’s how the action unfolded and why this game could mark a turning point.

A Long-Awaited Away Win

Wolves haven’t seen an away win in what feels like forever. While Agadir may have 25-degree sunshine, this result made leaving that behind worthwhile. Fulham, enjoying a solid run this season, were left stunned as the visitors donned their ultraviolet shirts and put on a show. From start to finish, the game proved Wolves’ attacking flair is second to none, with only Arsenal managing to shut them out this season.

Finally, everything came together, and what a way to end the drought!

First-Half Fireworks (Sort Of)

The first 45 minutes weren’t perfect, but the signs were there. Ait-Nouri got into trouble early, trying to dribble out from the back, leading to a top-corner finish from Fulham’s Wilson. But Wolves responded. Mario Lemina, stepping into a patched-up defence, launched a brilliant route-one ball forward that Matheus Cunha brought down with composure and slotted home.

Fulham had a chance to retake the lead when the ball fell to Jiménez just two yards out, but somehow, Wolves survived. From that point on, things only got better.

Second-Half Brilliance

If the first half showed promise, the second half was an absolute masterclass. Wolves ran riot, scoring three superb goals to stun the home side.

1. Joao Gomes’ Goal: A brilliant reverse pass from Cunha set up Gomes, who whipped it in beautifully.
2. A Wonder Strike: The third goal deserves its own highlight reel—a curling effort that left the goalkeeper rooted.
3. Counter-Attacking Perfection: Wolves sealed the deal with a textbook counter-attack. Fluid, fast, and clinical.

By the end, Fulham had no answers, and Wolves fans were loving every second.

Gary O’Neil Under Pressure—But Delivering

It’s no secret that Gary O’Neil has faced criticism this season. Questionable tactics and poor results had fans frustrated, but this performance silenced many doubters. With just one recognised centre-back fit, O’Neil pulled off a tactical masterstroke. Lemina stepped back into defence, and the players fought tooth and nail for their manager.

The team spirit on the pitch was clear, with the squad celebrating together after the final whistle. Whatever pressures O’Neil has been under, he’s kept the dressing room united.

Lemina’s Defensive Leadership

With Craig Dawson and Santiago Bueno unavailable, Lemina took on an unfamiliar role at the back—and excelled. Cool and composed, he ensured Wolves stayed solid under pressure.

Matheus Cunha: Man of the Match

There’s no debate about this one. Cunha bagged two goals, including a wonderful second, and showed why he’s a difference-maker. His linkup play and finishing were exceptional. The Brazilian is hitting top form, and Wolves are reaping the rewards.

JoAO Gomes

Gomes’ goal was a gem, but his overall performance was just as impressive. He worked tirelessly on and off the ball, contributing to attack and defence with equal effort.

A Day to Remember

Beyond the goals, it was a day full of moments that brought Wolves fans together. From hugging strangers in the stands to starting chants that echoed across Craven Cottage, the support from the away end was phenomenal.

One fan noted it felt like those famous games against Chelsea and Tottenham last year. There’s a real connection between the fans and players right now, and victories like this can only strengthen it.

Can Wolves Keep It Up?

This performance was incredible, but consistency will be key. Wolves are inching away from the relegation zone, and they’ll need to string together more results like this one. There are still cracks defensively, but if they can replicate this attacking intensity, there’s every reason to feel optimistic.

The players are fighting, the fans are backing them, and Gary O’Neil deserves credit for turning things around—at least for now.

Final Thoughts

Leaving the relegation zone (at least for now) and delivering their best performance of the season, Wolves have every reason to celebrate. The second half was a reminder of what this team can achieve when firing on all cylinders.

For the fans at Craven Cottage, it was a day to savour. For those watching at home, it was proof that Wolves still have plenty of bite. With Matheus Cunha leading the charge, there’s a real sense that Wolves are ready to build momentum.

Here’s hoping for more days like this—Always Wolves!
