Fulham Triumphs Over Wigan in FA Cup Thriller

2025-03-01

Fulham secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup fourth round at the Brick Community Stadium on Saturday. The Premier League side overcame a spirited challenge from their League One opponents to progress to the next stage of the competition.

The visitors took the lead in the 23rd minute through an unfortunate own goal by Wigan’s Luke Robinson. However, the Latics responded in the second half, with Scott Smith equalising in the 50th minute. Fulham regained the lead just five minutes later, as Rodrigo Muniz found the back of the net, continuing his impressive form in front of goal. The Brazilian striker, who also scored in Fulham’s previous FA Cup outing, proved decisive once again.

Wigan, managed by Shaun Maloney, put up a resilient performance but were unable to find a second equaliser despite late pressure. The match also saw twin brothers Ryan and Steven Sessegnon face each other for the first time in their careers, with Ryan representing Fulham and Steven playing for Wigan.

Fulham’s superior quality ultimately shone through, as they extended their unbeaten run against Wigan to 19 matches in all competitions. The Cottagers will now look ahead to the fifth-round draw, while Wigan can take pride in their spirited display against top-flight opposition.
