Harry Wilson scored his second Premier League goal of the season for Fulham At a glance Wolves fail to win in first 10 Premier League games for second season running Ryan Sessegnon gives Fulham early lead Emmanuel Agbadou sent off in first half for Wolves Harry Wilson and Yerson Mosquera own goal adds to Wolves' misery PLAYER RATER Wolves' season continued to spiral after Fulham condemned them to another damaging defeat to keep them winless and bottom of the Premier League. Ryan Sessegnon, Harry Wilson and Yerson Mosquera's own goal ended the Cottagers' four-game losing run, while Wolves' Emmanuel Agbadou was sent off in the first half. The visitors did little to prove their wretched start would end in west London and have now lost eight of their 10 league games. There is still belief at Molineux that boss Vitor Pereira can save the season - and a reluctance to sack him - but Wolves are now eight points from safety and being cut adrift. Fulham piled on the misery when Sessegnon struck early, seizing on a mistake from Santi Bueno, and it got worse when Agbadou was dismissed nine minutes before half-time - after his clumsy foul on Josh King denied a goalscoring opportunity. The visitors never recovered and Sam Johnstone denied Kenny Tete and Wilson but the Wales winger secured victory, which lifted the Cottagers to 14th, with a fine low finish from 20 yards. There was still time for Mosquera to turn the ball into his own net with 15 minutes left to add to Wolves' woes, before Samuel Chukwueze hit the bar late on for Marco Silva's side. What did you learn from Fulham's display? Have your say on Wolves' performance Wolves do not want to part company with Pereira and there is a firm belief they have time to save themselves. Yet this season now matches the last, where Wolves did not win any of their opening 10 games under Gary O'Neil. The former manager clung on for another six games and Wolves recognise they kept faith with him for too long before replacing him with Pereira last December. It is a mistake owners Fosun want to avoid but their faith in Pereira cannot continue indefinitely while Wolves appear doomed and their patience, however admirable, could ultimately make them look foolish. Already eight points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, there is no comfort in the club's desire for consistency and stability. Defeats by newly promoted trio Leeds, Sunderland and Burnley came before Saturday's limp loss at Craven Cottage, against a side who started the day 17th. If the wins are not coming against those who they could rank as relegation rivals - Sunderland aside after their excellent start - then the question is where will the victories arrive? A disastrous defeat against a relegation rival, including a red card and an own goal, made it a nightmare afternoon. This video can not be played Wolves performance 'was not my team' - Pereira From the minute Sessegnon capitalised on a Wolves mistake to score there was little doubt in the result. Fulham needed a pick-me-up after four straight defeats sucked them towards the bottom three and Wolves obliged. The result did not flatter the Cottagers - it could have been more - and it was precisely the performance which will restore any fractured confidence. Games against Everton and Sunderland either side of the international break could provide further momentum as Silva's side look to pull away from any immediate danger. Fulham should have enough to stay clear of the bottom three - they were dynamic enough against a poor Wolves side - but there will be little room for manoeuvre if they slip back to their previous form. Fulham go to Everton on 8 November before welcoming Sunderland to Craven Cottage after the international break. Wolves return to London to face Chelsea next Saturday and then face Crystal Palace at Molineux on 22 November. Fans, Fosun and future - what next for struggling Wolves?

Wolves have won eight of their 18 Premier League games against Fulham (D6 L4), only beating Tottenham and Southampton (9 each) more often in the competition. Fulham have lost each of their last four Premier League matches, with no current side on a longer losing run. The Cottagers haven’t had a longer losing streak within the same season since losing nine in a row between February and April in the 2018-19 campaign. Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only side yet to win in the Premier League this season (D2 L7). Wolves failed to win their opening 10 games last season (D3 L7) and no side in top-flight history have started consecutive seasons with 10 winless matches. Fulham conceded a 90th minute winning goal in their 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, their third of 2025. Overall, the Cottagers have conceded 23 winners in the 90th minute of Premier League matches, with only Spurs (27) and Aston Villa (26) ever conceding more. Wolves are looking to avoid going 14 consecutive league matches without a win for the first time since a run of 15 winless between February and August 2012. Fulham haven’t won any of their last five home Premier League matches against sides starting the day in the relegation zone (D3 L2), with one of those seeing them lose 4-1 to Wolves in November last season. Wolves manager Vitor Pereira has gone 13 Premier League matches without a victory (D3 L10), the longest run by a manager since Gary O’Neil went 13 without a win also at Wolves between May and November 2024. Chris Wilder was the last manager to go 14 games winless, doing so between February and May 2024 with Sheffield United. Jørgen Strand Larsen has scored in 13 Premier League matches for Wolves but he’s ended on the losing side in six of those (46%) – among players to score in at least 13 games in Premier League history, only Hal Robson-Kanu (54%, 7/13), Danny Dichio (53%, 9/17) and Heidar Helguson (50%, 13/26) have lost a higher percentage. Raúl Jiménez is looking for his first Premier League goal against Wolves since leaving them for Fulham in 2023 (3 apps) – indeed, the Mexican never scored in four games against Fulham for Wolves, with his seven games without scoring in this fixture his joint second most in any fixture, behind eight games in Man Utd vs Wolves.
