Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi scored a deflected goal in the 33rd minute, ending Fulham's winless start to the Premier League season and easing pressure on head coach Álvaro Arbeloa. The Nigerian striker curled a low shot that took a deflection off Lucas Herrington and squirmed under Hull goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis. Fulham, who had gone six league matches without a victory under Arbeloa, secured all three points against a blunt Hull side and moved off the bottom of the table.
Arbeloa described the result as "massive," noting it was the 100th meeting between the two clubs. Hull failed to clear their lines twice, allowing Sander Berge to set up the goal for Iwobi. Despite several promising performances, Fulham struggled to convert chances into goals. The win came after a demanding week, with an away match at Coventry followed by an EFL Cup tie against Crystal Palace.
