Ranieri boosted by ‘very important’ clean sheet
Claudio Ranieri saw signs of progress in Fulham’s goalless draw at Newcastle.
The Whites remain bottom of the table but kept their first Premier League clean sheet of the season – at the 18th attempt.
Manager Ranieri said: “At this moment for us, it’s important to get a point, it’s important to have a clean sheet because in the last matches, we have played well and from their first chance, the opponent has scored a goal.
“They made a lot of crosses – 30 – and they shot at goal, but our keeper never had to save anything.
“We created more on the counter-attack – we had four or five chances to win the match.
“But at this moment, it’s important not to lose and for the first time, we have a clean sheet. That, for us, is very important.”
