Nigeria’s Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze played a decisive role as Fulham came from behind to claim a 2–1 victory over Brighton at Craven Cottage on Saturday, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Brighton took the lead in the 28th minute when Yasin Ayari found the back of the net, silencing the home crowd and handing the visitors control going into the interval. Fulham's head coach reacted after the break by turning to his bench, introducing Chukwueze, and the move quickly paid off.
The Nigerian winger made an immediate impact, drawing Fulham level in the 72nd minute with a well-taken finish that reignited belief among the home supporters. With momentum on their side, Fulham continued to push for a winner as the game approached its closing stages.
Their persistence was rewarded dramatically when Harry Wilson struck in the 90th minute to complete the comeback and secure all three points for the London club.
The win extends Fulham’s impressive home form, while Chukwueze’s influential cameo further underlined his growing importance within the squad.
