## Summary

Rodrigo Muniz says last season was difficult because he needed hamstring surgery and his wife suffered a miscarriage. The Fulham striker scored a late equaliser against Newcastle on Saturday, dedicating the goal to the baby they lost and expressing hope that the current season will be different.

The 25-year-old Brazilian had surgery in November and was out until early February. His goal made it 1-1 and was his first Premier League goal since the opening match of the previous season; he has also scored in two Carabao Cup wins this term. Muniz has made eight league appearances this season, all as a substitute, and says he is working hard for more playing time.
