Fulham vs Southampton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Craven Cottage
Follow live coverage as Fulham face Southampton today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Fulham vs Southampton
The rain is really pelting down now at Craven Cottage. Bassey makes light work of Dibling down the Southampton right flank and wins the ball back easily for Fulham. The Cottagers would be frustrated to see the score still at 0-0 with only a minute and stoppage time to go.
Fulham vs Southampton
We're quickly approaching half-time now and Southampton would be the happier side to still be level in this game despite the attacking threat displayed by Fulham so far.
Fulham vs Southampton
Iwobi has been involved in eight goals for Fulham in the Premier League this season (5 goals, 3 assists). It’s already his joint-best scoring season in the competition. He has had a couple of sighters already today.
Fulham vs Southampton
More attacking threat from Fulham, but again the Saints do well to clear the danger. Soon after, Iwobi wins the ball on the edge of the area and swipes at another one from there. The result is similar as the previous shot he took as the ball misses the target, with ease on this occasion.
Fulham vs Southampton
Much better from Iwobi as his curling effort is just wide of the target. He receives a pass from Robinson on the left edge of the box and delivers a shot towards the top-right corner, only for it to evade a diving Ramsdale and the target. Another effort that was quite close though!
Fulham vs Southampton
Fulham have had six shots on the Southampton goal so far, while the visitors have managed just the solitary attempt on the Fulham goal. However, both teams have made 15 final third entries. Fulham have created many more chances, but Southampton do not look quite rattled at the moment.
Fulham vs Southampton
Another Wilson shot is not very far from the target as his long-range effort this time misses the bar by inches. He is all over the Southampton defence at the moment and the Saints need to do better to keep him at bay.
Fulham vs Southampton
Very good control from Wilson, but his shot just misses the target. Another Robinson cross is cleared but it falls to Wilson on the edge of the area, but Wilson's first-time volley is just over the bar. Lovely play from the Welshman.
Fulham vs Southampton
Robinson is clear down the left flank but he fails to pick out any of his Fulham teammates in the six-yard area. Robinson hasn't been at this best down the left so far, having already wasted a couple of crosses with a host of white shirts waiting for a delivery from him inside the box.
