Harry Wilson struck a dramatic 92nd-minute winner as Fulham came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 at Craven Cottage. Yasin Ayari had put Brighton ahead, but substitute Samuel Chukwueze equalized before Wilson's stunning free-kick secured the points.

Brighton's poor run continued, winning just once in their last ten league games. The defeat sees them slip from fifth in the table earlier this season to a mid-table position. Fulham, meanwhile, climb to seventh, bolstering their European qualification hopes.

Fabian Hurzeler called the result "brutal" after his side controlled much of the match. A Danny Welbeck goal was disallowed by VAR, and the loss highlights Brighton's struggle to convert chances. For Fulham, Wilson's ninth goal of the season proves decisive.
