Fulham extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five matches but were left to reflect on what might have been after the 0-0 stalemate at Crystal Palace.

The visitors created the better opportunities at Selhurst Park with the majority falling to centre-back Joachim Andersen, although Josh Maja was brilliantly denied by Vicente Guaita from close range in the second half.

Newcastle United drew with Wolves 1-1 on Saturday evening and they travel to West Bromwich Albion next Sunday lunchtime.

Newcastle United fans were quick to react on social media:

Iwan Williams @IwanWilliams2 tweeted: “Dont know if it’s because the Prem season is lagging behind in terms of games vs time of year, but it seems a bit early to be discussing matches likes Fulham’s as ‘must win’ - there’s still just under a third of the season to go”

Robert Tennyson @Tenno98 tweeted: “Even if we stay up, which I am cautiously optimistic that we will, Steve Bruce has to go in the summer. I don't want another relegation battle season.

“We need to move forward, and this is fundamental proof that Bruce isn't the man who will do it.”

Paul @thetoonreview tweeted: “Fulham should have won that one today but the bottom line is they didn’t and it remains three points. Good result for us today. #NUFC”

James DeMarco @jazadal tweeted: “I suppose a nil/nil draw between Crystal Palace and Fulham was to be expected. The beat goes on. #NUFC”

Keith @nufckeithr tweeted: “#nufc got away with one there. Fulham still 3pts adrift. Makes our result vs them look worse. Draw vs 10 man Fulham brutal too. Approach & result vs Sheffield Utd the worst of the lot though. 1pt from those three... could prove costly.”
