Alvaro Arbeloa is one of the coaches who is high on the bookmakers’ list of coaches who get the sack first. With only one win in the Premier League, Fulham with the Spaniard on the sidelines are firmly on course for relegation. On Saturday, a tough away game awaited against Frank Lampard’s Coventry, who are also fighting to stay above the relegation zone. This was Oscar Bobb’s day!
Bobb was on the pitch from the start. Fulham supporters were hoping for more Bobb magic, like when the Norwegian came on in the last twenty minutes of the League Cup match against West Ham and scored the match 2-3. The supporters were not disappointed.
Because in the 79th minute, he dribbled into the box in familiar Bobb style and sent the ball into the far corner from an oblique position. A type of goal we remember from the City era, now it came perfectly timed for Fulham and coach Arbeloa.
The 0-1 result stood until the end of the game, but Oscar Bobb was the match winner – and Fulham again above the relegation line!
