‘This goal shows everyone Rodrigo is here’ – Muniz eager to add to Fulham tally
‘This goal shows everyone Rodrigo is here’ – Muniz eager to add to Fulham tally

Rodrigo Muniz is eager to score more goals and play more minutes for Fulham after netting against Newcastle United on Saturday.

The Cottagers held the Magpies to a 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage, with Muniz cancelling out Jacob Murphy's stunner for the visitors.

There were just 179 seconds between Murphy's opening goal for Newcastle in the 80th minute and Muniz equalising for Fulham in the 83rd minute.

Fulham have drawn a Premier League home game against Newcastle for the first time in 19 meetings, their first league draw in London since March 1984, in the second tier.

Muniz, meanwhile, scored his first league goal of the season, already matching his total from 2025-26, and the Brazilian is keen to push on.

"Last game was really difficult against Aston Villa, then this week we trained hard, we knew this would be a tough game," Muniz told Premier League Studios.

"Newcastle have some really good players so happy to score to help my team-mates.

"I train hard every week to get a chance to play and to score. I need to be ready. In the first half, I said to Kevin 'I need to be ready, I need to warm up well and when I come on I need to do everything'.

"Last season was really difficult for me. This goal was really important for me. Last season, I scored only one goal, not good. I want to play more and this goal shows everyone Rodrigo is here."

Newcastle have avoided defeat in three consecutive Premier League games in London (W2 D1) for the first time since a run of eight games between October 2022 and October 2023 (W4 D4).

Murphy scored his first Premier League goal in 19 games, his first ever left-footed goal in the competition.

Eight of Murphy's last nine Premier League goals for Newcastle have either put his side ahead (seven) or equalised (one), and the winger was delighted with the Magpies' overall performance.

"We're unhappy not to come away with three points. But we're delighted with the overall performance," Murphy told Premier League Studios.

"We've had a tough week and we bounced back. That was a collective performance. Everyone stood up and was counted for.

"We've always been a committed group and I think we showed that. We didn't let Fulham play the style they wanted, we made it uncomfortable for them and, on another day, we were 2-0 up in the first half.

"Disappointed we conceded after the goal, but it's a point in the right direction."
