Figure caption, Fulham save a point late on against struggling Newcastle
Rodrigo Muniz scored his first goal since the opening day of last season as Fulham denied Newcastle and head coach Matthias Jaissle a much-needed win at Craven Cottage.
Jacob Murphy looked to have scored a stunning winner 10 minutes from time as he pounced on a loose pass inside the Fulham half before cutting inside and curling a left-foot shot into the far corner from 25 yards.
But less than three minutes later, substitute Cesar Palacios' pass found its way to Muniz, who managed to stab the ball into the far corner.
Both sides had late chances to win the game but Fulham keeper Bernd Leno denied Lewis Hall before Newcastle's Lukas Hornicek made a flying stop to keep out Ryan Sessegnon's stinging effort in stoppage time.
