Just five minutes into the second half, Marcos Senesi got Bournemouth on the scoresheet but another goal from Muniz secured the 3 - 1 win for Fulham.

Muniz was on the scoresheet again for Fulham against Aston Villa, but this time his goal acted more as a consolation for The Cottagers. A goal in either half for Ollie Watkins grabbed a 2 - 1 win for Aston Villa.

Fulham bounced back against Manchester United. Calvin Bassey opened the scoring for Fulham in the 65th minute but Harry Maguire thought he had secured a point for United with his goal in the 89th minute. However, Alex Iwobi scored in the 97th minute to bag a 2 - 1 win for Fulham.

Harry Wilson and Muniz both scored in the first half to give Fulham the 2 - 0 lead over Brighton at halftime. Despite The Seagulls having 71% of the possession, Adama Traore scored in the 91st minute to secure a 3 - 0 win for Fulham.

However the next time out against Wolves saw Tottenham on the wrong side of the 2 - 1 scoreline. Joao Gomes opened the scoring late in the first half to give Wolves the 1 - 0 lead at halftime. Dejan Kulisevski drew Tottenham level just one minute into the second half but another goal from Gomes bagged the 2 - 1 win for Wolves.
