Fulham stunned Brighton with a late comeback win at Craven Cottage, thanks to a stunning Harry Wilson free-kick that sealed the victory in the 88th minute. The Cottagers had trailed 1-0 at halftime, but Wilson's spectacular strike from distance sent the home crowd into raptures and gave his side the lead.
The visitors, Brighton, took an early lead through an unanswered goal, leaving Fulham with a mountain to climb. However, their struggles in front of goal were matched by their team's determination and spirit, as they battled back with renewed intensity.
As the game entered its final stages, it seemed as though Brighton's advantage would prove too great for Fulham to overcome. But Wilson's dramatic late strike changed everything. The Welsh winger's set-piece sailed over the wall and into the top corner of the net, sending the stadium into delirium and securing a remarkable comeback victory.
The 2-1 win marked a thrilling turnaround in fortunes for the hosts, who had been struggling to find consistency this season. Wilson's late show will be remembered as one of the most dramatic moments of his career, while Brighton's defeat left them with a disappointing result and further questions over their ability to compete with the top teams in the league.
With this result, Fulham move up the table, putting pressure on other mid-table teams to respond. The win highlights the team's capacity for resilience and determination, as well as Wilson's growing reputation as one of the most effective set-piece specialists in the Premier League.

. and oh my gosh, harry wilson's free-kick was absolutely insane 
! i love how the home crowd went wild when he scored - i bet it was such a relief for them after being behind for so long. 2-1 is an amazing result, especially considering they'd been struggling to find consistency this season 
. wilson's set-piece skills are seriously impressive now... he's definitely one of the most exciting players in the league right now 
.
! One goal from like 20 yards out and they're on top? Come on! Fulham got robbed if u ask me 
but that Harry Wilson free kick tho?! I mean i love a good comeback story, but this one was insane! The crowd went wild & the stadium was shook 
. We should be talking about Wilson's skills not Brighton's lack of defense 
.
Harry Wilson is a genius 
I mean, who else can score a free-kick like that? 
That 2-1 win is huge for their season and shows they're not out of it yet. Brighton's gotta wonder what went wrong - one goal from an offside position and they were done 
Fulham's getting some much-needed momentum, let's see if they can keep this up 
. Wilson's set-piece skills are getting more recognition by the minute - that kid's got some serious power behind those shots 
️! Now Fulham's in contention for a mid-table spot... will they keep it up or fall back? only time'll tell 
also, brighton's goal was pretty underwhelming tbh, felt like a total waste of an opportunity for them to put the game out of reach. fulham's determination is definitely giving me hope for their season though... maybe they can finally string together some wins and make a push for mid-table consistency? 
can you believe that Harry Wilson free-kick?! I'm still reeling from that stunning strike 
. I've been saying for ages that Fulham's got some talented players, but this is just insane 
. He's becoming a Premier League star! 
️ The Cottagers' fans must have been on the edge of their seats during that final 15 minutes, I can imagine 
. This result is going to give Fulham some serious momentum and put pressure on those mid-table teams 
. Bring it on, season's heating up 
!
his setpiece skills are insane! i don't know how they trailed 1-0 at halftime but their determination paid off big time now fulham is up the table and we gotta watch out for them 
! I swear, he must've been channeling his inner Messi on the pitch 
. Brighton's not outta the woods just yet though, gotta regroup & figure out what went wrong 
.
that guy is like a magician out there, always delivering clutch moments. anyway, this win for fulham is huge for them, it shows they're not just a one-trick pony and can make a comeback when it matters most 
also big credit to their spirit and determination, those guys never gave up! 
and wilson must feel like he's on top of the world after that incredible strike 
! i mean they were down 1-0 at halftime but their determination and spirit kept them in it. Brighton thought they had it in the bag but fulham dug deep and got the reward they deserved 
️! He's like a magician out there, always finding the back of the net with his set-pieces. And to be honest, I've never seen anything like it in my life... or at least not on the Premier League. Anyways, love how Fulham dug deep and came away with the win
