1. Match Summary

Newcastle secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Fulham in a closely contested match. Jacob Murphy opened the scoring for Newcastle in the 18th minute, but Fulham equalized through Saša Lukić in the 56th minute. The game appeared headed for a draw until Bruno Guimarães struck in the 90th minute to snatch the win for the Magpies. The late goal secured all three points for Newcastle in a game that saw both sides create opportunities.

2. Team Performance Analysis

Newcastle demonstrated a greater attacking intent, evidenced by their superior statistics in total shots (18 vs 12) and shots on goal (7 vs 5). Their passing accuracy of 85% suggests a controlled build-up play, and a 51% ball possession indicates they dictated the tempo for large portions of the game. The expected goals (xG) of 2.00 further supports their attacking dominance, suggesting they created higher quality chances. However, they were made to work for the win, with Fulham's goalkeeper making 5 saves.

Fulham, despite the loss, showed resilience and created their own chances. Their 49% ball possession indicates they weren't completely overrun in midfield. However, their lower passing accuracy (79%) and fewer shots on target suggest they struggled to convert possession into clear-cut opportunities. Their xG of 1.48 suggests they were capable of scoring, and their goalkeeper's performance kept them in the game. The higher foul count (18 vs 11) suggests a more physical approach, and potentially some frustration with Newcastle's control.
