Fulham captain Antonee Robinson highlighted the essential role of substitutes in the team's recent success following a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United. With key contributions from bench players like Rodrigo Muniz and Andreas Pereira, Fulham achieved their first away win at St James' Park in 16 years. Robinson noted the squad's collective effort, emphasizing that it’s not just about the starting eleven. Coach Marco Silva acknowledged a lack of intensity in the first half, praising the team's second-half adjustment that led to their crucial victory and reflecting their strong team spirit.
Rodrigo Muniz turned home a free-kick from fellow substitute Andreas Pereira in the 82nd minute to give Marco Silva's side their first away win in Newcastle in nearly 16 years.
Robinson praised the squad's depth, stating, 'The fact everyone keeps the belief and there's so much contribution from the bench just shows we're together as a unit and working for each other.'
Marco Silva noted, 'I think we had some lack of objectiveness in the first half and did not have enough bodies in the box,' highlighting their improved second-half performance.
Fulham substitutes have been pivotal this season, with Muniz's goal being his second winner as a substitute, showcasing their crucial impact on matches.
