Fulham 0 – 0 Wolves
It’s another match and another draw again from Fulham. Both teams missed chances to score a goal and seal the deal in the last minutes of the second half. The South Korean football star Hwang Hee-Chan had a chance to kick-off on his fourth minute effort to bring first for Wolves in front of the packed home crowd but saved by Marek Rodak, Fulham goalkeeper – but the visiting team also had its chance on Aleksandar Mitrovic via late penalty to snatch its first victory on the Premier League but missed it.
The home team Wolves saw its early chance during the third minute duration of the match by Pedro Neto’s kick which was saved but he saw the ball again and made a wide headed rebound but was flagged for offside. Jose Sa’s excellent series of saves created a lot of opportunities for Wolves to bring the edge of winning the game to their side.
