Fulham paid the price for being wasteful in an opening-day defeat at Manchester United and last weekend's draw against West Ham. So the manner in which they saw off Newcastle was understandably a source of pride for boss Marco Silva.

Smith-Rowe scored Fulham’s second goal, a driving, dancing burst into the area and a smart toe poked finish that Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope should have saved – in trying to scoop the ball clear he managed to simply help it into the net. He also hit the crossbar with a rasping long-range strike.

Fulham's Raul Jimenez, Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson all scored in a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Saturday, giving Eddie Howe's team their first defeat of the Premier League season.
