Fola Badmus02 mins

Nigeria football is in mourning, once more, following news of the death of Mrs Sarah Chukwueze, the mother of Super Eagles’ ace forward, Samuel Chukwueze, in the early hours of Thursday, 29th January 2026.   The announcement of Mrs Sarah Chukwueze’s passing was made by Samuel’s sister, Princess Chukwueze, and his brother, David, on their respective social media platforms in the morning of Thursday, 29th January 2026, stating that the matriarch of the family had died after a brief illness.   A distraught General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, said: “We are aware that Mrs Sarah Chukwueze was a vital and supportive presence in the lives of her children, including our international player, Samuel Chukwueze. Samuel has always, at every opportunity, acknowledged his mother’s influence on his professional development. We are sad at her departure, coming only a few days after we had to mourn the sudden passing of the father of Super Eagles’ captain, Wilfred Ndidi.   “We pray that God will grant her eternal rest, and also grant those she has left behind, including Samuel and his siblings, the fortitude to bear the big loss.”   English Premier League side, Fulham Football Club has also sent condolence message to the bereaved forward.   “We are all with you, Chukwu. Sending you and your family our deepest condolences,” Fulham wrote on its official Twitter now X handle.

Wale busari01 mins

Liverpool fought back twice to secure a 2-2 draw away at Fulham in the 20th week of the Premier League. Fulham opened the scoring in the 17th minute when Wilson found the net, giving the home side an early advantage. Liverpool responded in the second half, with Wirtz leveling the scores in the 57th minute. Gakpo then put the Reds ahead during stoppage time, only for Fulham to snatch a dramatic equalizer in the 97th minute through Reed. The result leaves Liverpool in fourth place on the league table with 34 points, while Fulham sits 11th with 28 points. Elsewhere in the league, Tottenham and Sunderland played out a 1-1 draw, Newcastle secured a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace, and Brentford defeated Everton 4-2 on the road.

Manchester City Edge Fulham 5-4 To Move Within Two Points Of Arsenal

Wale busari03 mins

Manchester City closed the gap on Premier League leaders Arsenal to two points after a chaotic night in which Fulham nearly wiped out a four-goal deficit with a wild 20-minute surge in the second half. What should have been a straightforward victory for City instead turned into a frantic scramble, despite Erling Haaland hitting his 100th Premier League goal for the club — reaching the landmark in just 111 games and beating Alan Shearer’s long-standing record. Haaland, who had earlier fluffed a simple chance, smashed in his milestone strike before slipping a clever pass to Tijjani Reijnders, whose neat lifted finish doubled City’s lead. Bernd Leno then gifted City a third when his failed punch dropped perfectly for Phil Foden, who bent in the first of his two goals. Fulham refused to fold. Emile Smith-Rowe’s header before the break reduced the deficit, and Alex Iwobi found the net early in the second half shortly after Jeremy Doku had made it 5-1 for City. Then the game erupted. Samuel Chukwueze struck twice in six minutes, dragging Fulham back to 5-4 and setting up a breathless finale. Fulham poured forward, and City held on only thanks to Josko Gvardiol’s desperate goal-line block in the 98th minute. City ultimately escaped with their 19th straight win over Fulham in all competitions — but a night that promised a statement victory instead ended with relief. Arsenal can restore their cushion when they face Brentford on Wednesday, while City leave London knowing this win was far more complicated than it should have been.

Trossard Strike Lifts Arsenal Past Fulham As Gunners Return To Top Of Premier League

EPL: Trossard Fires Arsenal Past Fulham As Gunners Retain Top Spot

Wale busari02 mins

Arsenal continued their strong Premier League run on Saturday with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage. Leandro Trossard scored the only goal of the game, volleying home after a Bukayo Saka corner was flicked on by Gabriel Magalhães. The win sent Arsenal back to the top of the table, three points clear of Manchester City and four ahead of Liverpool. Though the performance lacked fluency, Arsenal displayed defensive solidity and composure to secure their fifth clean sheet in eight league matches. Fulham started brightly and created a few early chances through Raúl Jiménez and Harry Wilson but failed to find a breakthrough. Despite injuries to key players like captain Martin Ødegaard, Mikel Arteta’s men held their ground, relying on structure and discipline rather than flair. The victory highlighted Arsenal’s growing maturity — even on an off day, they managed to grind out a crucial win away from home. However, some concerns linger in attack, as new signing Viktor Gyökeres extended his goalless run to nine matches for club and country. The result keeps Arsenal firmly in control of the title race and underscores their evolution into a team capable of winning through resilience as much as brilliance.

Chelsea 2-0 Fulham: Controversial VAR Decision Disallows Josh King’s Goal as Hosts Win at Stamford Bridge

Fola Badmus03 mins

Stamford Bridge, London – Chelsea triumphed 2-0 over Fulham in a Premier League clash marred by a controversial VAR decision that saw Josh King’s first-half goal ruled out, sparking outrage from the Fulham camp. VAR Controversy Strikes Early The drama unfolded in the 21st minute when Josh King thought he had given Fulham the lead, curling a shot into the bottom corner after a skilful run into the box. However, referee Rob Jones was instructed by VAR official Michael Salisbury to review the goal due to an alleged foul by Rodrigo Muniz on Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah in the build-up. The incident in question occurred just moments before King’s strike, when Muniz appeared to step on Chalobah’s foot while shielding the ball. After reviewing the footage at the pitchside monitor, Jones disallowed the goal, citing Muniz’s “careless challenge” on Chalobah. Fulham manager Marco Silva was incensed by the decision, calling it “unbelievable” and claiming it was a harsh call. “I don’t know where else the attacker can put his foot. It should stand,” Silva said post-match. Despite the controversy, Chelsea responded well. Just before halftime, João Pedro headed in a brilliant cross to put the Blues ahead. Enzo Fernandez then sealed the victory in the second half, scoring from the penalty spot after Ryan Sessegnon was penalized for handling the ball in the area. Jamie Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, labeled the VAR decision “shocking,” criticizing the intervention as “neither clear nor obvious” and suggesting that referee Jones should have trusted his initial call.

Fulham 1-1 Manchester United: Bruno Fernandes Misses Penalty Before Emile Smith Rowe Cancels Out Controversial Opener

Fola Badmus04 mins

Bruno Fernandes missed a crucial first-half penalty as Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at Fulham, with Emile Smith Rowe’s second-half equaliser cancelling out a contentious own goal that initially put the visitors ahead. United, under early pressure after a season-opening defeat to Arsenal, looked set to claim their first Premier League win of the season after Rodrigo Muniz inadvertently turned the ball into his own net just before the hour mark. But the goal sparked controversy, with United defender Leny Yoro appearing to push Fulham centre-back Calvin Bassey in the back as he rose for the header that deflected in off Muniz. “He is lucky to get away with that,” said Sky Sports’ Gary Neville on co-commentary, while Bassey told the broadcaster: “When the ref looks back on it, he will be disappointed.” Penalty Miss Adds to United’s Frustrations The drama had begun earlier in the first half when referee Chris Kavanagh, following a VAR review by Darren England, awarded United a penalty after Calvin Bassey was penalised for fouling Mason Mount at a corner. However, in the same phase of play, Luke Shaw was also seen bundling over Muniz — an incident that went unpunished. As Fernandes stepped up to take the spot kick, he was inadvertently bumped by Kavanagh, disrupting his preparation. The United captain proceeded to blaze the penalty over the bar, aiming for the top left corner. “It upset me because the referee didn’t apologise,” Fernandes said post-match. “That’s what triggered me in that moment, but that’s not an excuse for missing the penalty.” Smith Rowe Salvages Point for Fulham Fulham grew into the game after falling behind and were rewarded for their persistence when Emile Smith Rowe, recently signed from Arsenal, coolly slotted home an equaliser in the 76th minute after a flowing move down the left flank. The result leaves Manchester United winless in their opening two Premier League fixtures, with pressure beginning to mount on new head coach Ruben Amorim. Match Stats What’s Next?

Fola Badmus01 mins

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is set to make his return from a lengthy injury layoff when the Gunners host Fulham in the Premier League on Tuesday. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Monday that “Bukayo is ready to go” and could even start the game. Saka has not played since December after needing surgery on a hamstring tear.

But Saka’s return comes as Arteta’s team is preparing to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, with the first leg at home next week.
