Fulham claimed a valuable 1-0 away victory over Coventry City on Saturday, with Oscar Bobb scoring in the 80th minute to leave the hosts facing continued pressure near the bottom of the Premier League table.

The result lifted Fulham to 13th place with eight points from eight matches.

They are level on points with Newcastle United, who have played seven games, but sit one place higher in the supplied standings.

Bobb's late strike proved decisive in a match that had remained goalless at half-time.

Fulham held on to secure all three points, recording their second consecutive league victory after an inconsistent start to the season.

The win gives Fulham a chance to build momentum as the campaign progresses.

With several teams separated by only a handful of points in the middle and lower sections of the table, consecutive positive results could help them improve their position.

Coventry, meanwhile, remain 19th with six points after eight matches.

Their record now stands at two wins and six defeats, leaving them level on points with Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest, although those sides have played fewer games.

Saturday's loss was another setback for Coventry, who had also been beaten by Tottenham earlier in the week.

Their position means they need to start collecting points more consistently to move away from the relegation zone.

The difference between the sides was ultimately Bobb's goal, which arrived with ten minutes remaining in normal time.

Fulham protected their advantage to take the points, while Coventry were left without a response.

For Fulham, the result offers a platform to continue climbing the standings.

They remain in the lower half, but consecutive wins provide a more positive outlook than their earlier results suggested.
