Fulham 2 Barnsley 1


Sheyi Ojo’s fortuitous goal gave Fulham the points at Craven Cottage.

There was nothing fortuitous about Floyd Ayite’s brilliant opener nine minutes into the second half – a thumping strike which gave the Whites the lead.

Tom Bradshaw headed Barnsley level, but Fulham regained the lead when Tykes keeper Adam Davies misjudged a cross from Ojo and the ball bounced in off the far post.

It was a deserved victory for Fulham and one which lifted them to 11th in the Championship table.

Ayite, back in the starting line-up after missing four games with a hamstring injury, was lively – and missed a decent chance before eventually scoring.

Yet the visitors had a chance to snatch a point when Bradshaw shot wide afger after being found by Lloyd Isgrove.
