Fulham got their first win of the season as they beat Leicester 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
After a dominant first half, Fulham were unlucky not to go into the break in the lead.
New record signing Emile Smith Rowe gave the Cottagers the lead on his home debut.
Wout Faes equalised just before half-time with a powerful header from a corner, putting a dampener on the hosts' positive first half.
The match-winner came twenty minutes from time, with Alex Iwobi scoring his first goal of the season and sealing the much-deserved three points for the Whites.
Fulham picked up their first points of the season after an impressive performance. They will hope to take this form into their game against Ipswich next weekend.
Leicester will be disappointed that they didn't capitalise on the final half-hour against Tottenham when they looked the better side.
They will also be disappointed that they couldn't hold on to another point today despite being level for a large portion of the second half.
Story of the game
Fulham came into the game off the back of a defeat in the opening game to Man United despite a solid display.
The home side’s spirits were lifted last week when Sander Berge was introduced to the Fulham midfield, and fan favourite Joachim Anderson returned.
The Foxes came into this game after a draw against Tottenham, in which Jamie Vardy scored on his return to the Premier League.
Both sides remained unchanged after their opening game for the season despite both sides making some new additions to their squads.
After a few minutes, Adama Traore had the first shot of the game, forcing Mads Hermansen into a save.
Rodrigo Muniz started the game positively as he flicked a header towards goal but could not generate the power to threaten the Leicester goal.
Bobby Decordova-Reid was back at the cottage after five years of service. The Jamaican tried his luck from distance, with Bernd Leno putting the shot behind for a corner.
Leicester struggled early on to break through the Fulham press with Andreas Pereira and Smith Rowe so high the Foxes had no space to play out.
Smith Rowe opened the scoring with his first goal for the Cottagers.
Fulham broke away on the counter, with Traore playing the ball to Smith Rowe, where the midfielder slotted the ball into the bottom corner.
Muniz nearly doubled the lead two minutes later, with the forward missing the target from an excellent Antonee Robinson cross.
Leicester equalised entirely against the run of play. Faes rose highest in the box to turn the ball home from a Leicester corner.
A long Var review followed for a potential offside, with Vardy interfering with Leno, but the decision was overturned with the goal given.
Fulham almost responded before half-time with a corner of their own, but Muniz could not beat the Danish keeper.
Despite dominating the game, the home side had nothing to show at half-time.
Faes almost cancelled out his goal as he tried a fancy flick just outside his own box. Traore, pouncing, played the ball to Muniz, who blazed over the bar.
Leicester had a couple of attacks around the hour mark but struggled to threaten the Fulham goal.
The home side regained the lead through Iwobi after a ball from Robinson played the Nigerian through on goal. Hermansen will be disappointed he didn’t keep the ball out of his net.
Marco Silva will be happy with the performance of his side today as they showed just how dominant they can be.
He will be slightly disappointed at how much his side struggled to put the ball into the net.
Steve Cooper will be upset with the performance level of his side today as they struggled to create anything in the game and did not threaten Fulham enough throughout the game.
They will be hoping that the Tottenham performance is repeatable with the long season ahead.
Player of the match- Emile Smith Rowe
The Fulham man showed today just how important he will be to the side going forward as he was great in all facets of play.
He opened his account today with a wonderful finish after being played through on the break to give Fulham the lead after a dominant first twenty minutes.
His goal wasn’t his only contribution to the game as he was used high up the pitch pressing the Leicester back line which allowed the whites to control the ball and stifled any potential attacks.
Silva will be happy his marquee signing has hit the ground running and will expect Smith Rowe to keep his performances up throughout the season.
