Fulham drew 1-1 with Southampton in a match that shifted dramatically in its final half-hour, with the home side looking comfortable before a late equaliser denied them the points.
Southampton made the breakthrough first. An unnamed player put the visitors ahead before the hour, and Jorge Cuenca's effort around the 62nd minute appeared to level matters for Fulham. Alex Iwobi then gave the hosts what looked like a winning lead on 65 minutes, a narrow advantage they carried into the closing stages.
The second half saw a flurry of substitutions that disrupted Fulham's rhythm. Ross Stewart and Cameron Bragg came on for Southampton around the 71st minute, alongside Flynn Downes, and the visitors grew with fresh legs. Samuel Edozie entered on 82 minutes as Southampton pushed forward with greater urgency.
With the clock running out, Southampton found the equaliser through Ross Stewart in added time. The substitutes had done their work, and Fulham's grip on the game, which had looked firm for much of the second period, slipped at the final moment.
Further changes arrived late, with Kuryu Matsuki, Samuel Chukwueze, Raúl Jiménez, and Finn Azaz all introduced around the 90th minute, though the scoreline remained 1-1 at the whistle.
Fulham will feel they should have managed the game out. Southampton, for their persistence, earned a point that their second-half effort probably merited.
