## Summary

Oscar Bobb’s late goal gave Fulham a 1-0 win at Coventry and lifted Álvaro Arbeloa’s side out of the Premier League relegation zone. The result ended Fulham’s run of eight away matches without a win and left Coventry second-bottom, after a home performance that produced few clear threats.

Josh King struck the crossbar for Fulham in the 18th minute, while Coventry created several half-chances but rarely troubled goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Bobb, who joined from Manchester City for £27m in January, scored his first Premier League goal for Fulham in the 80th minute, cutting into the area and curling his shot into the far corner. Coventry’s late penalty appeal was rejected after Shea Charles had his arm tucked in.
