Newcastle saw a couple of chances go begging as Fulham defended well and relied on a couple of smart saves from Bernd Leno. Callum Wilson saw a golden chance go begging on the stroke of half-time as he turned well inside the box only to be denied by the Fulham goalkeeper.
The 0-0 scoreline means it’s now 19 consecutive games Newcastle have gone without conceding a first-half goal.
