Sunderland has failed to win in their last three Premier League games, a joint-longest winless streak for the team. This result adds to their recent struggles.

Before this match, Sunderland had enjoyed an impressive run of five unbeaten games against London sides, including a 2-2 draw against Arsenal. The Black Cats were hoping to extend this record against Fulham, but ultimately fell short.

The game saw several close calls for both teams. Wilson Isidor came close to scoring after a Bertrand Traoré cross, and Bertrand Traoré himself had a chance to open the scoring after capitalising on a Fulham defensive mistake. However, Bernd Leno made a crucial save to deny him.

Fulham eventually found their footing in the game and created two scoring chances of their own. Harry Wilson had a shot go narrowly wide of the post after cutting inside onto his left foot, and Kevin nearly broke the deadlock with a shot from 20 yards out. However, his decision to go alone and not use his teammates in a three-on-three situation ultimately led to the shot being comfortably saved by Robin Roefs.
