Hull City 1 – 1 Norwich City
Josh Sargent scored for the third time in the last three games but it was not enough for Norwich City to claim more than one point on the road to Hull City. The American front man put in a 77-minute shift with his goal coming just after the intermission.
It was the Tigers who took the lead after 14 minutes when Lewis Coyle picked out Matt Crooks who stole the lead from inside the box. The equalizer however came in the 47th minute from the 24-year-old American when he headed in Kellen Fisher’s cross from close range.
Norwich sits in 12th place in the Championship standings and will host Stoke City over the weekend.
Fulham 2 – 1 Nottingham Forest
Antonee Robinson and Fulham put a dent in Forest’s title aspirations as they scored on both sides of the intermission to deny the third place team any points at Craven Cottage. The English-born American played the full 90 minutes.
Former Arsenal man Emile Smith-Rowe scored after just 15 minutes but Forest favorite, Chris Wood tield things up not long before the half time whistle. The battle continued in the second half and it was the Italian born Nigerian defender, Calvin Bassey who, with his first goal of the season, gave the Cottagers the game winner.
Up next will be another home game with south Londoners Crystal Palace heading north.
Crystal Palace 1 – 2 Everton
Speaking of Palace, Matt Turner remained on the bench where he has spent most of his time this season, while Chris Richards continued in the starting line-up. The hosts surrendered a goal just minutes before the half when Beto struck goal but just a couple minutes into the second half, Jean-Phillipe Mateta tied things up again.
The next goal could have ended up in either net but it was Carlos Alcaraz who led by example and coaxed the ball passed the Palace keeper with 10 minutes left on the clock.
Up next will be that trip up to Fulham.
Notes
Tyler Adams was in the starting line-up and Matai Akinmboni remained on the bench as Bournemouth won again, this time 3-1 against Southampton. They’re currently in fifth place, a spot behind Manchester City for that coveted Champions League spot. Next up is a visit from struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Aidan Morris went the distance in Middlesbrough’s midfield, but they lost again for the fourth time on the trot, against Watford. They’ll try to right the ship when they hit the road to take on Bristol City.
