Fulham Stunned Brighton with Thrilling Comeback at Craven Cottage
In a dramatic turn of events, Fulham secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Brighton at their home turf, Craven Cottage. The match saw the Cottagers overcome a strong first-half performance from their opponents to snatch a late win.
The game was marked by Brighton's dominance in the opening stages, with the Seagulls creating several scoring opportunities that ultimately went unrewarded. However, as the match wore on, Fulham began to find their footing and create chances of their own.
In the 72nd minute, the visitors were rewarded for their persistence when a well-crafted move ended with Brighton's striker slotting past Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno to give his side a 1-0 lead.
Despite trailing, Fulham continued to push forward and looked like a different team as the clock ticked down. Their pressure finally paid off in the 90th minute when Harry Wilson stepped up to take a free-kick from distance. The Welshman's powerful shot curled over the wall and into the top corner of the net, sending the Craven Cottage crowd into raptures.
The winning goal sent the match into extra time, and Fulham emerged victorious in a tense penalty shootout after the two teams could not be separated following 30 minutes of play. The late winner from Wilson marked an unforgettable comeback for the Cottagers, who were down 1-0 at one stage but ultimately triumphed against all odds.
Wilson's goal will be remembered as a match-winner, and his impressive free-kick was the perfect catalyst for Fulham's dramatic turnaround. Despite Brighton's strong start, it was the visitors who ultimately fell short of making the most of their advantage.

fulham must've been so nervous and frustrated being down 1-0 but they never gave up 
harry wilson's free-kick goal is gonna be on repeat for me 
i mean who needs superpowers when you can just belt in a 20 yard shot and win the game?! 
what a moment for the team and the fans, so much energy and excitement at craven cottage! 
, but at the same time, I think Brighton had some major issues with set pieces and defending those crosses 
. I mean, 1-0 down and still able to lose in extra time? That's just crazy 
. But you gotta give Fulham credit - they really dug deep and found a way to win it 
. Still, I'm not convinced Brighton should be writing off their season just yet 
.
They were basically done off, but those guys never gave up. I mean, come on, they even had that one goal, 1-0 to Brighton, and then what happens? Fulham just comes back at 'em like a boss. Harry Wilson's free-kick was the perfect moment of magic - it was like he just willed in that goal 
. Anyway, I'm not surprised Fulham won, they've been playing some solid stuff lately. Maybe Brighton just had an off day? IDK, but one thing's for sure, this win is gonna be remembered for ages!
. I don't know how they even managed to score in the last minute of regular time, let alone win the game in a penalty shootout. The crowd at Craven Cottage must've been absolutely mental 
. The atmosphere must have been electric at the stadium when Harry Wilson scored that game-winner from outside the box 
. So impressive to see the team come from behind like that...I mean who needs a happy ending anymore 
. I love how it shows that Fulham never gave up on the match, even when things were lookin' bleak. The layout of the game is pretty dramatic too – all that tension build-up in the 90th minute is just masterful 
. Can't wait to see what these teams do next! 
... no way, there has to be some sort of fluke or trickery involved. I'm telling you, if Brighton had put in a decent first half, they would've won hands down 
Hmm, maybe...
.
! it just goes to show that anything can happen in football, even if you're not playing your best game. i think this win is a great morale boost for fulham and their fans, they must've been so pumped up watching that come back 
. anyway, craven cottage was definitely the place to be for that match, must've felt like an electric atmosphere in there 
️
. And can we talk about Harry Wilson's free-kick skills? 
The kid is a genius! 
I'm so hyped for Fulham now, they're totally back in the running for a top spot in the league 
. It just goes to show you never give up hope, even when things seem lost 
. And to see Brighton's players looking all puzzled at the end, you could almost feel their frustration 
.
️. Brighton had that game in the bag, but Fulham just refused to give up 
i'm just glad they got the win tho, it's gonna be one of those games you remember forever
