Fulham Morning Round-Up, Sunday 8th November 2026: Muniz Earns Late Leveller Against Newcastle but Arbeloa Faces Anxious Wait on King
Good morning, Whites fans. The big talking point from last night is a dramatic 1-1 draw with Newcastle at Craven Cottage, where Jacob Murphy's stunning strike looked set to settle it before Rodrigo Muniz came off the bench to rescue a point for Fulham late on (The Sun) (The Guardian) (Sky Sports) (Evening Standard). The result means Matthias Jaissle's Magpies, who had endured a tricky run of four defeats in five games in all competitions, leave London with a share of the spoils after an improved showing (The Guardian).
Manager Alvaro Arbeloa named an unchanged side for the match (West London Sport), and post-match he gave his reaction to the result (FulhamFC.com). However, there's a slight injury worry hanging over the camp, with Arbeloa having to field questions about Josh King after the Newcastle game, though he was quick to play down the severity of the concern (Evening Standard) (West London Sport).
West London Sport's player ratings had plenty of praise to go round, with Bernd Leno among those picked out for a strong display between the sticks (West London Sport). Fulham fans can also have their say by voting for their Legend of the Match from the Newcastle clash (FulhamFC.com), while there's a feature on Muniz and his work ethic up for fans to enjoy this morning (FulhamFC.com).
Away from first-team matters, Craven Cottage's Christmas at the Cottage event has proved hugely popular, with the Sold Out Club notice going up on the club website (FulhamFC.com). Digital matchday programmes are also available for supporters wanting to relive the Newcastle clash (FulhamFC.com).
Looking ahead, last night's draw featured among the games covered on Match of the Day alongside other Premier League action (BBC Sport), and attention will now turn to how the squad, and Josh King in particular, come through the coming days following that injury scare (Evening Standard) (West London Sport).
