Report and free match highlights as Fulham beat Coventry 1-0 at the CBS Arena; Oscar Bobb scores late winner; Josh King previously hit the post and Calvin Bassey was denied a penalty by VAR despite clear shirt pull from Brandon Thomas-Asante; Fulham out of the bottom three
>A late moment of magic from Oscar Bobb secured a narrow 1-0 win for Fulham at Coventry to make it back-to-back Premier League wins for Alvaro Arbeloa's side.
>The game looked set for a stalemate until the Norway playmaker danced into the box and curled a shot into the far corner in the 80th minute, breaking the deadlock in what had been a frustrating fixture for the visitors.
>Fulham had looked the more likely side to take the lead after Josh King crashed his effort off the post in the first half and will also feel the win is justified given the decision to not award a penalty for Brandon Thomas-Asante's shirt pull on Calvin Bassey before the break.
>The Fulham defender pushed Thomas-Asante to create space before he was then dragged to the ground by the Coventry forward. VAR checked the incident extensively before it was then cleared.
>Former referee Mike Dean on Sky Sports: "He's run the risk by holding onto his shirt. As the ball came in, Bassey pushed the Coventry player away from him to make it look like he'd pulled his shirt. The foul is by Bassey first."
>Coventry had their own controversy as time ticked down when the ball struck the arm of Shea Charles in the box from Jack Rudoni's cross but the incident was quickly checked and cleared.
>The victory moves Fulham out of the relegation zone and into 12th, while Coventry remain in 19th after eight games.
