Alex Iwobi’s 70th-minute winner gave Fulham victory over Leicester in their first Premier League home game of the season.
The Nigeria winger fired through the legs of goalkeeper Mads Hermansen to restore Fulham’s lead after Wout Faes had levelled for the Foxes before the break.
The Cottagers, who were dominant throughout, opened the scoring when club record signing Emile Smith Rowe slotted in.
Smith Rowe joined Fulham in a £34m deal from Arsenal earlier this month after falling out of favour with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta – making just 13 Premier League appearances last season.
But he hit the ground running at Craven Cottage, picking up the ball from Adama Traore on the left before driving towards Hermansen and firing into the far corner.
Faes’ equaliser 20 minutes later was initially ruled out by referee Darren Bond, who judged Jamie Vardy to have been interfering with Bernd Leno in an offside position.
But the video assistant referee sent Bond to the pitchside monitor and he overturned the decision after seeing replays of the Fulham goalkeeper pushing Vardy out his way.
The visitors struggled for possession after Iwobi’s goal and lacked a clinical edge as they pushed for a late equaliser with Wilfred Ndidi coming closest, only to slam his shot straight at Leno in the final moments of injury time.
It is a first win of the season for Marco Silva’s side, who came away from their opener at Manchester United empty handed, losing 1-0 to a late goal.
