MAN OF THE MATCH RESULT: NEWCASTLE

January 17, 2023 5:35 pm

Issa Diop has been voted your Fulham Man of the Match following his strong display in the narrow 1-0 defeat at Newcastle.

The Whites defence had dealt well with Newcastle’s dangerous attacking play and looked to be heading towards a clean sheet until Alexander Isak’s 89th-minute winner.

Diop made more blocks and interceptions than any other player on the pitch, and even made a surging run down the right wing to create one of Fulham’s more threatening first-half attacks.
