The result lifted the Cottagers to 12th in the table, while Coventry remained 19th.\n<\/p>\n<p>With both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances, Bobb broke the deadlock 10 minutes from time after receiving a pass from Joshua King.\n<\/p>\n<p>The former Manchester City player took on Coventry defenders Jay Dasilva and Jack Rudoni, using quick footwork to beat both opponents before driving a low effort into the bottom-left corner.<\/p>\n<p>It was Bobb\u2019s first league goal of the season and a decisive contribution in a match that had threatened to end goalless.<\/p>\n<p>Fulham dominated possession during the first half but struggled to translate their control into goals, while Coventry looked dangerous on the counterattack.\n<\/p>\n<p>The hosts had opportunities to take the lead, with Brandon Thomas-Asante threatening twice in the opening half.

The hosts also appealed for a late penalty following a ball into the box, but their protests were unsuccessful.\n<\/p>\n<p>Fulham held on through five minutes of added time to secure all three points and build momentum after their previous victory over Hull City.\n<\/p>\n<p>For Coventry manager Frank Lampard, the defeat extended the pressure on his side as they continued their struggle near the bottom of the Premier League table.\n<\/p>\n<p>Fulham will look to build on their back-to-back victories as they seek to climb further away from the relegation zone, while Coventry must find a response to prevent their difficult start to the campaign from worsening.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div readability=\"17.269565217391\">\n                                                                <b><a href=\"https:\/\/punchng.com\/author\/toyediran\">Tosin Oyediran<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tosin Oyediran is a journalist with Punch Newspapers, bringing over eight years of newsroom experience to his coverage of politics, health, advocacy, sports, and entertainment.
