Harry Wilson scored a 92nd-minute free-kick as Fulham produced a second-half turnaround to earn a 2-1 victory over Brighton, who have won just once in their last 10 league games.
Wilson struck his ninth goal of the season from 25 yards in stoppage time, with goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen getting a hand to his effort, to send Craven Cottage wild and leave Brighton languishing in mid-table, sliding down from fifth during this run.
Fulham had fallen behind against the run of play in the first half when Yasin Ayari powered a rocket past Bernd Leno at his near post, despite the goalkeeper getting his fingertips to the ball.
Brighton had been toothless until that moment, yet quickly went close to a second as Kaoru Mitoma was denied by Leno and Ferdi Kadioglu’s header from the rebound was cleared off the line by Timothy Castagne.
Fulham then levelled in the second half through substitute Samuel Chukwueze, who raced in behind from Joachim Andersen’s long ball forward and calmly slotted past Verbruggen from an angle.
But Brighton thought they were back in front just 80 seconds later. Fulham pushed for a second but were caught on the counter with Mitoma slipping in Danny Welbeck and he finished past Leno only for the VAR to rule his goal out for offside.
Welbeck was then denied with his head by a good save from Leno before the game appeared to be heading for a draw until Wilson’s latest moment of magic delivered Fulham the points to move them up to seventh.
