Huddersfield Town 1 Fulham 0: Home goal wait ended as Cottagers go bottom

Fulham replaced Huddersfield Town at the bottom of the table as the Terriers' first home goal of the season gave them a 1-0 win in a clash of Premier League strugglers.

Huddersfield had gone 658 minutes without a home league goal, Tom Ince the last man to find the net at the John Smith's Stadium back in April.

However, a Timothy Fosu-Mensah own goal ended that barren spell in the 29th minute, and Fulham rarely looked like mounting a response as Huddersfield claimed a first win of the campaign.

Andre Schurrle did find the net for the visitors, but only after Aleksandar Mitrovic had strayed offside, the linesman correctly flagging as Fulham slipped to a deserved defeat that will intensify the pressure on head coach Slavisa Jokanovic.
