Onomah slams home 94th-minute winner for promotion-chasing Fulham

Josh Onomah struck a 94th-minute winner for Fulham as they defeated Birmingham City 1-0 at home to boost their promotion aspirations on Saturday.

The Anglo-Nigerian midfielder came off the bench on the hour mark, with neither side creating much in the way of clear-cut chances.

In stoppage time, the 23-year-old was first to react in the box to a cross from the right by Harrison Reed and finished coolly past Lee Camp.

The Birmingham stopper had earlier kept the scores level with an outstanding point-blank save as Fulham maintained their steadiness, although, without suspended frontman Aleksandar Mitrovic, the hosts’ goal threat was limited before Onomah’s late intervention.
